Some of the Healthiest Foods I Love

I love these..I have at least six of them  every week...of course, always in moderation.  If only I can get as many workouts in during that same week, then life would be perfect.


Blueberries


Blueberries are known as a "Super food" because they are so healthy for you. They help build strong cells which can help fight the risk of cancer. They also contain high levels of Vitamin C.


Lemons

Lemons are very healthy for you. Just 1 lemon can give you more than your daily need of Vitamin C. They also help lower cholesterol.

Broccoli




Just one cup of broccoli contains only about 30 calories. Broccoli is one of the healthiest foods on the planet because it contains high levels of Vitamin C which help build strong bones & they can help fight cancer.

Dark Chocolate




Dark Chocolate is way healthier than milk chocolate. Eating dark chocolate daily can help improve your mood and it also helps lower blood pressure & cholesterol.

Potatoes




Potatoes are very high in fiber which help with digestion. They also contain high levels of Vitamin A that help build a strong immune system.

Salmon



Like most fish, Salmon is very high in protein which helps burn fat & build Muscle.


Walnuts


Walnuts not only help improve the health of your hair, they can also help improve your mood as well. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids that can help lower cholesterol.


Avocados




Avocados help burn fat and stop cravings. They contain lots of fiber that helps with digestion and they also help reduce your risk of heart disease.
