A healthy lifestyle means maintaining a healthy diet of foods that benefit the body without a large caloric impact. According to the Mayo Clinic here are 10 best bet foods for eating well, in no particular order.
- Almonds
- Blueberries
- Apples
- Broccoli
- Salmon
- Red Beans
- Spinach
- Sweet Potatoes
- Vegetable Juice
- Wheat Germ
These 10 health foods are some of the healthiest because they meet at least three of the following criteria:
- Are a good or excellent source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients
- Are high in phytonutrients and antioxidant compounds, such as vitamins A and E and beta carotene
- May help reduce the risk of heart disease and other health conditions
- Are low in calorie density, meaning you get a larger portion size with a fewer number of calories
- Are readily available
