Fermented Foods

These have been having a moment for some time now. Since we realized how good fermented food is for us we can’t get enough. If you haven’t added pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, or kombucha to your diet yet, why not? They are loaded with probiotics that enhance those already in your gut.

Dark Chocolate

A girl has to have her chocolate, right? You can’t deny yourself everything that isn’t good for you, and dark chocolate is a sweet treat that not only tastes as good as sex but also has some great healthy benefits. Just don’t overdo it and be sure to pick a brand that is made from cocoa butter rather than milk solids and cocoa powder.

Broccoli

Leafy green veg are so good for you, but many people don’t much like kale, spinach, and cabbage. Broccoli is a much more taste-friendly veg and has lots of excellent nutrients your body needs including vitamins C, B6, and A, fiber, potassium and protein. It’s awesome in site fries, steamed, or even roasted. If you’re steaming or roasting, eat it with some olive oil and lemon zest.
