10 Health Foods for Healthy Living

10 Health Foods for Healthy Living

If your aim is to live healthy, then I believe eating healthy foods is an important key. Here's what I learn from Healthy Foods and their benefits:

1. Basil

This herb not only add flavor to foods but also known to reduce blood pressure and ease symptoms of emphysema and bronchitis.

2. Dietary Fiber

Fiber promotes regularity, helps control caloric intake and promotes weight loss. It may also reduce the risk of heart diseases.

3. Fruits and Vegetables

Vegetables have less sugar than fruits. Like fruits, they are nutrient-dense foods.

4. Spinach

It provides 50% or more of the RDI for vitamin A, and about 20% of RDI for vitamin C.

5. Asparagus

High in folate content, which is important for pregnant women.

6. Pumpkin

An excellent source of vitamin A, iron, and folate.

7. Sweet Bing Cherries

A good source of fiber.

8. Apricots

Great source of carotene, vitamin C, potasium, and iron. Also a very good source of vitamin A, and low in calories, about 50 calories.

9. Strawberries

A good source of vitamin C, iron, and fiber.

10. Soy Nuts

Soy nuts are high in protein and isoflavones.
