10 Foods to Add to Your Diet for Maximum Health
1. AvocadoAvocado contains healthy fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamin E. You can use it in sandwiches, salads, omelettes, or smoothies. I love it mixed with chocolate Shakeology.2. BlueberriesBlueberries are packed with antioxidants, and studies show that they have anti-aging capabilities as well. Eat a half cup three times a week for maximum benefit.3. BeansBeans are delicious and versatile, and they are packed with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. We love them in salads, chili, crock pot recipes, and dips. It is said that beans can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.4. NutsNuts are amazing because just a handful can reduce hunger and easily satisfy you between meals. Walnuts are great for omega 3 healthy fats, and almonds are good for the heart. Nuts are high in calories though, so you shouldn't really have more than an ounce a day.5. GarlicIt's so easy to add garlic to recipes, and it packs in so much flavor too. Garlic contains phytochemicals which help to prevent colds. It is also antibacterial.6. KaleWe love kale chips, and I also love kale in salad. It is full of vitamins A, C, and K, plus it has calcium, magnesium and iron.7. Dark ChocolateThis is for real! Dark chocolate has flavonoids which is good for the heart. A little bit dipped in almond butter can really satisfy your sweet tooth.8. SeedsWe love flaxseed and Chia seeds. You can toss them into a smoothie, salad, or Greeek yogurt. They will add omega 3 oils and fiber into your snack or meal.9. Coconut OilWe replace most uses of butter or various kinds of oil with coconut oil. It's antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiviral, and it is a healthy fat. We love making scrambled eggs with it, adding it to Shakeology and even coffee, and put it in all baked goods.10. Green TeaThis tea is packed with antioxidants, and studies show it helps prevent cancer, helps with weight losss, and benefits the liver and blood flow.What healthy foods do you make an effort to add to your diet?
