In today’s busy life, we are so much engrossed in our work that unknowingly we start ignoring healthy foods.  Though some of us believe by eating wheat bread, having juices and by avoiding pizzas, white bread and cheese, we can protect ourselves from diseases. It may be right but up to some extent. To be more active, our body needs healthy food rich in fiber, vitamins, low fat, low calories proteins, minerals and phytonutrients. The first principle of a healthy diet is simply to eat a wide variety of foods. This is important because different foods make different nutritional contributions.

The article outlines 7 health foods which are some of the healthiest food available readily in the grocery store. As per Mayo Clinic, these foods are 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

7 healthiest foods

I firmly believe most of us are very well known with the facts that these foods are good for health. The challenge is to implement them in your healthy diet. If you are already implementing or planning to implement them, it is really a good thought. If you are one of those who believe in procrastination, I will come again with my new post to make your life better.
