SUMMARY:
- To avoid canned
veggies that have harmful ingredients, opt for low-sodium and no-salt-added
versions.
- Dark chocolate, or
chocolate with the least amount of sugar added, is the kind that has all the
good stuff!
- After studying
14,000 participants in and around the Mediterranean region, researchers found
that people who ate pasta on a regular basis were able to stick to a balanced,
healthy diet more easily.
- People who drink
small amounts of wine on a regular basis have been known to have a lesser risk
of heart disease and some cancers.
- Next time you
order a smoothie, request that they make it with 100% fruit or yogurt. That
way, there’s not so much sugar or dairy, and you’ll still benefit from the
fresh fruit.
- In moderation,
coffee offers a wide variety of benefits from preventing Parkinson’s disease to
helping liver function — and even preventing your chances of having a stroke.
- Red meat can give
you the protein and iron you need, but it’s all about how you prepare and eat
it. When buying red meat to cook at home, buy lean cuts, and use them in
recipes that call for healthy amounts of vegetables.
- While eating tons
of white bread full of empty carbs doesn’t offer much value, whole grain breads
can offer you the essential vitamins your body craves.
- Potatoes are rich
in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, and this is especially true if they’re
prepared with the skin still on them. As long as you eat a moderate amount of
potatoes with your meals that are either boiled or baked, you can be sure
you’re making a healthy choice.

canned veggies eating
canned vegetables is
a cheap easy way to
get your daily
serving of veggies but
for most of your
life you've been told
that fresh veggies
are always a better
alternative veggies
that haven't been
tampered with have
many vitamins and
nutrients and
typically aren't riddled
with preservatives
if they're organic
that is but believe
it or not there are
some canned
vegetables that can still
provide you with
important nutrients in
2014 the american
journal of lifestyle
medicine conducted
research to find out
if canned vegetables
are worse for you
than fresh produce
turns out they're
just as good the
study found that the
vegetables in cans
are fine it's what's
added to the cans of
vegetables that can
be harmful to avoid
canned veggies that
have harmful ingredients
opt for low
sodium and no salt
added versions Wow
it's still good to
eat fresh veggies
eating canned
veggies from time to time
won't be harmful to
you
eight chocolate it's
no secret that
chocolate is an
indulgence even as a kid
you were told that
you couldn't eat your
chocolate dessert
without finishing your
dinner but a lot of
people don't know
that chocolate
actually holds compounds
that are great for
brain function heart
health and your mood
it's important to
note that this
beneficial chocolate
can't be found in
your everyday treats
like Snickers bars
and chocolate chip
cookies dark
chocolate or chocolate with
the least amount of
sugar added is the
kind that has all
the good stuff
according to a study
conducted in 2010
at Swinburne
University in Australia the
cocoa flavanols in
dark chocolate can
improve cognitive
function especially in
high pressure
stressful situations in
addition to
cognitive function dark
chocolate has also
been proven to help
with blood
circulation since the
polyphenols in cocoa
can lead to better
cholesterol levels
so next time you have
a hankering for some
chocolate try
munching on a small
amount of dark
chocolate instead of
the sugary bars you
find next to the
register at the
supermarket 7 pasta
when you're hungry
nothing sounds
better than a heaping
bowl of delicious
pasta mmm but if
you're looking to go
easy on the carbs
bowls of pasta
become a thing of the
past but dry your
tears pasta may not be
as bad for you as
you think in
moderation pasta
isn't that bad for you
and that's what a
study published online
in the nutrition and
diabetes health
journal in 2006
stated after studying
14000 participants
in and around the
Mediterranean region
researchers found
the people who ate
pasta on a regular
basis were able to
stick to a balanced
healthy diet more
easily
additionally they
had lower BMI and
smaller waist lines
who would have
thought it however
there are ways to
make pasta really
unhealthy by adding
sugary creamy sauces
and forgetting to
balance them with
protein and vegetables
when making pasta at
home try to stick
to vegetable based
sauces and don't
forget to add
veggies as well Oh miss
you chicken alfredo
six wine as we're on
the topic of pasta
who can resist a
little glass of wine
to wash it down
while alcohol is
typically not at the
top of the list when
it comes to healthy
food one glass of
wine a day isn't that
unreasonable people
who drink small
amounts of wine on a
regular basis have
been known to have a
lesser risk of
heart disease and
some cancers but as
with all foods both
good and bad
moderation is
incredibly important if
you love drinking
wine with your dinner
limit yourself to no
more than one glass
a day if you're a
woman and no more than
two glasses if
you're a man you best
leave those tequila
shots for special
occasions
five smoothies if
you get a smoothie at
the food court at
the mall you'd better
believe you're
getting more than enough
sugar and dairy then
you need in a day a
lot of fast food
smoothie joints add
milk cream and even
ice cream to their
smoothies and shakes
but if you love a
good smoothie all
hope is not lost next
time you order a
smoothie request that
they make it with
100% fruit or yogurt
that way there's not
so much sugar or
dairy and you'll
still benefit from the
fresh fruit better
yet make all fruit
smoothies at home
with unsweetened
almond milk or other
dairy alternatives
but be careful
eating too much fruit can
make you gain weight
thanks to its sugar
content fruits like
bananas and apples
have extra sugar
that may make your
blood sugar level
spike offer fruits
like blueberries
raspberries and
blackberries as they
have less sugar and
can help with
inflammation and weight
loss for coffee
there's a reason why
people all over the
world have been
enjoying coffee for
centuries in
moderation coffee
offers a wide variety
of benefits from
preventing Parkinson's
disease to helping
liver function and
even preventing your
chances of having a
stroke
according to Hopkins
Medicine org but if
you're a coffee
drinker and have a cup
or two every day how
do you know if
you're overdoing it
the Dietary
Guidelines for
Americans says it's okay
for healthy adults
to drink 3 to 5 cups
of coffee a day as
long as they don't
exceed 400
milligrams of caffeine that
averages to about 95
milligrams a cup
a quick way to make your
daily cup of
joe bad for you is
by adding copious
amounts of cream
sugar and sweeteners
yes even the
artificial ones artificial
sweeteners like
sweet and low often
contain chemicals
that can cause health
problems and even
become addictive if
you know you're
sensitive to caffeine
opt for coffee
blends with low amounts
of caffeine or decaf
nobody wants to
suffer from the
jitters 3 red meat when
it comes to eating
red meat red meat
hasn't gotten the
best rep since it's
often high in
saturated fat people tend
to steer clear
however in
moderation red meat offers
plenty of benefits
just as chicken and
other meats do
according to Sherry
Kasper our DN a
registered dietician red
meat can give you
the protein and iron
you need but it's
all about how you
prepare and eat it
when buying red meat
to cook at home
buying lean cuts and use
them in recipes that
call for healthy
amounts of
vegetables you can make
delicious meatballs
burger patties and
even tacos with a
small amount of red
meat mixed with
healthy veggies making
your delicious
dishes way better for you
to Brad similarly to
pasta most diets
out there today
paint bread to be the
worst thing you
could possibly eat carbs
be gone while eating
tons of white bread
full of empty carbs
doesn't offer much
value whole-grain
breads can offer you
the essential
vitamins your body craves
wondering about
which breads to choose
Kari Walder Rd is
the founder of Walder
Wellness and she
suggest picking whole
wheat breads that
are chock full of
complex carbs fiber
iron and magnesium
the trick to finding
healthier bread is
to look at the
ingredients if it lists
whole wheat as its
first ingredient it's
likely a great
source of fiber and a
good choice but as
with any food don't
eat too much of it
or it could lead to
weight gain 1 potatoes
you know it
sounds really good a
large order of hot
fries while this
fast-food guilty
pleasure is a hard
one to resist
thinking about the
amount of oil and
preservatives that
go into them isn't
all that appealing
if you're a potato
lover there are all
kinds of great
recipes out there
that have way more
nutritional value
than a basket of fries
or potato chips
potatoes are rich in
potassium vitamin C
and fiber and this
is especially true
if they're prepared
with the skin still
on them as long as
you get a moderate
amount of potatoes
with your meals that
are either boiled
or baked you can be
sure you're making a
healthy choice if
you're missing the
salty flavor of
potato chips and fries
sprinkle your baked
potato dishes with
olive oil and fresh
herbs delicious do

notorious bad foods
