Healthly Foods You Should Be Eating But Aren’t
Everyday you read new surveys telling you that you should eat more healthy meals. You’re probably already eating a lot of healthy everyday foods like bananas, and broccoli, but what about the foods filled with disease-fighting phytochemicals you aren’t eating? Our friends at the Huffington Post put together a large list of foods, here’s a few off of that list.
Kale
It's a good source of heart-healthy fiber and a one-cup serving has almost as much vitamin C as an orange. What's not to love? Heres and easy recipe.
Sardines
Sardines are one of the best sources of heart-healthy, mood-boosting omega-3 fats, and they're packed with vitamin D. My Dad ate these almost every night growing up. Here’s a recipe for Sardine pasta.
Quinoa
Quinoa is a delicately flavored whole grain packed with fiber and protein and, to top it off, it only takes 15 to 20 minutes to cook. Here’s an easy soup recipe.
Pomegranate
This fruit is full of antioxidants, natural chemicals found in plants that clean up harmful free radicals, which damage tissues and may contribute to a variety of chronic conditions, such as heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer. It tastes best as juice.
