We all know the foods that we read about to be healthy or dieticians recommend. You may even see most of this in the headlines while waiting in line at the grocery store. But what is truth and what is myth? As a certified trainer, nutritionist and healthy mama of three let me share with you a few foods that you should be eating every single day:
1 Apples
Believe it or not, the saying an apple a day will keep the doctor away is actually true. Apples are great for your digestive health, in preventing disease, boosting your immune system and also have pectin in them which is a natural fat burner. Now go enjoy a crisp, cool apple today!
2 Eggs
Eggs are part of my daily food regime because they are a great source of lean protein and they also keep you full for longer. Inside the yolk of the egg is lecithin which is a metabolic booster. As long as you do not have high cholesterol you are fine to have the full egg with the yolk. So go ahead and fuel some lean protein into your body with an omelet breakfast today!
Oatmeal provides the body with plenty of insoluble fiber to boost your metabolism, aid your digestive tract and promote a healthy diet. Studies have shown that just 1 bowl of oatmeal a day can control your hunger and having you feel strong! And did I mention this lowers your risk of a heart attack?
4 Broccoli
Broccoli is high in nutrients that are cancer fighting. So ward off cancer, increase your fiber and lean down with this tasty veggie! Steam it, dice it, stir fry it or eat it raw to better your health and have more energy!
5 Blueberries
Did you know the fruit with the highest antioxidant levels are blueberries? The antioxidant plant pigments that make blueberries blue help to protect you from heart disease, cancer and age-related blindness and memory loss.
6 Salad
Get all your cancer fighting phytonutrients and plenty of fiber by having a salad or two everyday. Within a matter of days you will feel better and even notice a difference in your skin, as well as energy levels.
7 Greek Yogurt
Yogurt is a great source of calcium to help keep your bones strong and it also provides live active cultures that are helpful in warding off infections for woman’s vaginal health. This is known as the potent, powerful health saver for women.
So are you ready to raid your pantry and closet to add in the best foods you should be eating every single day? Live the healthy life you deserve by nourishing your body with nutrient dense food!
Thelma62913 Yep. I eat every one of these everyday. Delicious.
Thelma62913 I'm going to give oatmeal another shot.
Whitttey Also, about the apples, another reason why they're good for you is because they take more energy to digest then they provide - therefore they burn calories!
Claire I have grapefruit for break fast then a yogurt ! 🍊
Phiangainah I eat half boil egg almost everyday. But yea not everyday..
Pauline Blueberries are hard to eat every day since they're not always in season. Love the post though!
The This post is so helpful, thank you!
desilicious Although I do not personally eat eggs everyday there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. It was a bad study in the 80's that told everyone eggs raise your cholesterol. All recent studies have concluded that eggs DO NOT raise your cholesterol.
Tara @desilicious, you are right on!!thanks for feedback and being up to date with your knowledge! Keep it up!! Thx...
Lily Lol I came here to get tips and it turns out the only one I don't eat each day is salad and yogurt. I love salad, but came seem to make myself like yogurt
Angie Are these blog writers.
Angie You should not be eating eggs every day. This will give you high cholesterol which can eventually lead to a stroke. Eggs twice a week is enough... Sometimes I wonder how old or educated..
Tara @Angie, Actually eggs are a healthy source of lean protein that can be eaten daily, if you have cholesterol problems, simply remove the yolk. I am a nutritionist, trainer and 35 years old ;-). thanks for reading!
Katie I love every food on this list!
Pearl I'd include spinach because it is iron dense for those who donate blood or are anemic.
