Here are a few foods to eat at least once a day, whether you want glowing skin or just a healthy digestive system.
1. Leafy Greens
Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, fresh lettuce and others, are a great way to increase the portion size of your meal, without actually increasing the calories that you consume. These greens are full of antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals that are essential for a healthy immune system and good hair and skin. They are also high in fiber and will keep you feeling full for longer.
2. Eggs
Eggs are high in protein as well as in healthy fats. Eating eggs consistently leads to elevated levels of HDL or "good" cholesterol, which is linked to a lower risk of many diseases. A study also showed that eating eggs for breakfast can increase weight loss on a calorie restricted diet.
3. Nuts
Nuts are high in healthy fats and antioxidants, including omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain function and protect against heart disease. Nuts such as almonds, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, etc are a good source of many nutrients when consumed in their natural form. Nuts are considered a great snacking option on low-carb diets.
