There is a famous quote that says “A small change in attitude makes a big difference”. Relate the same quote to your regular daily diet, a small change in your food intake plan, can bring a big difference in your health. Eating food is different from eating healthy food. Who cares about your health if not you. 🙂
So here are some good foods to include in your daily diet that can bring a big difference
Eggs:
They said, an apple a day keeps doctor away. But I will also add eggs. Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat and cholesterol than the yolk. Eating an egg every day is enough to help your body fend off an incoming stroke by 12 percent.
Apples:
Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fiber. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
Green Tea:
Yes, it doesn’t tastes the way you wanted but the health benefits are huge. There are many health benefits of green tea which we will cover in a different post, its specific role in aiding weight loss has made the drink a favourite go-to beverage for those conscious about their health and fitness.
Dark Chocolates:
Chocolates? No. Dark Chocolates? YESSS! Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet.
Walnuts:
Walnuts are edible seeds from the trees of Juglans genus. They are round, single-seeded fruits of the walnut tree. The health benefits of walnuts include reduction of LDL cholesterol in the body, improvement in metabolism, and control of diabetes. Other important health benefits of walnuts stem from the fact that these nuts possess anti-inflammatory properties, aid in weight management, and help as a mood booster. They are also believed to slow down the spread of cancer.
Yogurt:
Yogurt has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, as well as aid in weight management. Since yogurt comes from milk, we will get a dose of animal protein (about 9 grams per 6-ounce serving), plus several other nutrients found in dairy foods, like calcium, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-12, potassium, and magnesium.
Olive Oil:
Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid. This fatty acid is believed to have many beneficial effects, and is a healthy choice for cooking.
Cinnamon:
Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants that protect the body from cell damaging agents. It helps the body to fight infections and repairs tissue damage. It is good for diabetics and it slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive tract. It also helps fight bacterial and fungal infections.
Tomatoes:
Tomatoes are the major source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin K.
Oranges:
Oranges are low in calories and full of nutrients, they promote clear, healthy, skin and can help to lower our risk for many diseases as part of an overall healthy and varied diet.
Garlic:
Every 100 grams of garlic will serve you with close to 150 calories, 33 grams of carbs, 6.36 grams of protein. Garlic is also enriched with Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, folate, Vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and zinc.
