Dietitians from around the country were interviewed about
their favorite health foods, so here are some of the foods on their hot list.
-Berries- Especially dark berries like blueberries,
raspberries and black berries. These sweet fruits are high in antioxidants
(which can help your body defend illness and aging), fiber, and essential
vitamins.
-Eggs- Have been given a bad rap for it’s high cholesterol
levels, but having one egg each day will not be detrimental to cholesterol
levels. Eggs are packed with about 8 grams of protein, 70 calories, and contain
13 vitamins and minerals including choline which has anti-inflammatory
properties.
-Nuts- Many people stay away from eating nuts because of
their high fat content. But Dietitians say that the nuts contain
monounsaturated fats that can help you maintain and even lose weight. The salty
and crunchy snack can fulfill cravings and the fiber content will help keep you
fuller.
-Greek Yogurt- It has two times as much protein and less
sugar than regular yogurt. This can help keep you fuller longer. It also
contains probiotics which is great for immune health.
