When you hear “healthy eating” what do you think of?  For many, the idea seems daunting and difficult to maintain as a habit.  Whole foods fuel us and healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring.  Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, healthy carbs and proteins, and fats are what allow our bodies to function and get the needed vitamins and minerals to survive.  I’ve listed below various food options to choose from.

Avocados are considered a healthy fat.  Contrary to what you might’ve heard we do need fats to sustain a healthy body function.  Avocados are high in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.

Eggs contain antioxidants that help keep eyes healthy.  They’re also a great source of protein.

Sweet potatoes are a healthy carb full of vitamins that help yield a healthy immune system.

Broccoli is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K and folate.  Not only does it taste great but you’re supplying your body with the nutrients needed to run efficiently.

Oats are a great option for breakfast and full of fiber.

There are many health benefits to nuts.  Including heart health, protection against insulin resistance, and lower inflammation.

Oranges are loaded with vitamin C which is crucial for the production of antibodies that help fight off infections.   They also taste great!

Yogurt contains probiotics for healthy gut health.  When selecting yogurt steer towards plain Greek yogurt as it’s higher in protein and has less added sugar.
