The Healthy Foods You Need In Your Diet

Everyone knows that they should be eating more healthily but it can often be difficult to know which foods you should be adding to your diet. There are so many different viewpoints and of course, different people will have different health needs. However, the following five foods are all recognised as being great options that will help to keep you healthy and making the most of life.

Salmon

Fish is recognised as being a great choice for anyone looking to be healthy and salmon is the fish that tops the healthy list. You are advised to look out for fish that is high in Omega 3, the fatty acid. This is because this can play a great role in ensuring that your skin is well protected against damage caused by UV rays. A touch of the sun can give you a healthy glow but if you are not protected, it can cause short and long term problems. As little as 5 ounces of omega 3 every week can help to reduce your risk of precancerous lesions in your skin. With omega 3 billed as a protective shield that helps your skin, it is definitely something to look out for.

Watermelon

Most people know the benefits of drinking a lot of water and it should stand to reason that eating food with a high water content will be of benefit as well. The biggest reason why watermelon is such a popular choice is that it can help you to feel full while eating fewer calories. We all know that controlling your calorie intake is vital in maintaining a good level of health and this is exactly what watermelon provides. It is also a great source of vitamin C and red watermelon can also help to provide you with the antioxidant that prevents some form of cancer and heart disease. If you like the benefits of watermelon but don’t like the taste, try strawberries, cucumbers or green salads for similar effects.

Green Beans

Everyone knows that you should eat your greens in order to remain healthy and green beans are a perfect example of this. This style of food, which is high in fiber, will help you minimise the likelihood of gaining weight and it can provide assistance in weight loss. It is believed that increasing your daily fiber intake can help you to lose more weight. There are significant scientific findings to indicate that women who increased their fiber intake while dieting had more success with respect to weight loss.

Blueberries

Mixed berries are recognised as being good for your health so no matter what style of berry you favour, you are likely to gain some benefit. However, blueberries are recognised as being of particular benefit in lowering your blood pressure and in raising good levels of cholesterol in the human body.

Tomatoes

Don’t get caught up in the “is it a fruit or vegetable” argument, focus on the Vitamin C benefits of a tomato. This food, and others like broccoli and oranges can help you to have younger looking skin. Vitamin C is regarded as having antioxidant benefits, which boost the firmness of your skin thanks to its input of collagen synthesis.
