It sounds too good to be true but adding functional foods to
your diet will improve your health. A functional food is defined as “a food
that provides additional health benefits that may reduce disease risk and/or
promote good health” by AND. Some functional foods that are recommended include
sardines, salmon, nuts, whole-grains, beans, and berries. Fish can decrease
heart disease risk, and joint pain. Nuts control blood sugar and are a great
snack because they help us feel full. Berries are good because their color has
health benefits. Next time you make your plate make sure there is some
functional food items on it.
