Foods That Can't Be Missing in Your Diet

The nutritionist and author of “The 150 healthiest foods in the world” produced a short list of those who are easily obtained, but often do not include in our diet.

Eating a varied diet is essential for healthy living, and while this is a tiny portion of the long list of healthy foods from Jonny Bowden, their inclusion may contribute to a more healthy and balanced diet.

The list includes:

* Beets: Their pigments are antioxidants and protect against cancer, is an excellent source of folic acid and is very tasty salad. Its nutrients are better preserved if it is not consumed cooked, so a good alternative can be grated and raw intake.

  • Cabbage: It has sulfur compounds which assist in the fight against cancer. It can be eaten with sauce, in salads, sandwiches, sandwiches or other preparations.
  • Chard: Its high content of carotenoids protect eye health. It can be prepared fried, in salads, baked snacks, cakes or potatoes.
  • Cinnamon: Helps control blood sugar and blood cholesterol. It may be added in coffee sprinkled on desserts or puddings.
