10 Healthy Spring Foods to Add to YOUR Diet!
Are you enjoying all that spring has the offer? This does not only mean extra sunshine and warm weather; the spring brings a whole new set of delicious and healthy foods! Our MA insurance agency has put together a top 10 list. Make sure you start to incorporate these foods into your diet before the season is over!
- Asparagus. This seasonal veggie is packed with folate, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
- Fennel. This vegetable tastes like anise; great for those with a sweet tooth! It contains a great combination of flavonoids as well.
- Grapefruit. Just a half of this citrus fruit has been known to help shed the pounds.
- Beets. Known to fight both cancer and heart-disease, this vegetable can be steamed or sautéed!
- Berries. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries… all very good sources of antioxidants!
- Spinach. Forget about the romaine lettuce this season! Make a spinach salad for a health kick (Vitamins A, K and C!)
- Mint. This is the herb of the spring months. Flavor a dish with it!
- Peas. Full of fiber and protein, beans are low in calories and rich in antioxidants.
- Watercress. Often overlooked, watercress has been determined a cancer-fighting food. It contains everything from Vitamins A, B1, B6, C, E, K to iron.
- Artichokes. Whether you jar the artichoke or steam it, it will be full of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
If you can add a dose of these health foods to your diet this season, your body and overall health will benefit in the long run!
Staying healthy and in shape is always a concern before summer hits. While everyone wants to tone up and lose weight, it is also important to focus on the health going on inside of your body as well. This means it is crucial to make a yearly appointment with your doctor! There is no excuse to not visit your doctor, but whenever we talk about health we like to remind our clients about the importance of life insurance. Staying healthy is key, but being prepared if something were to happen to you and allowing your family to have a little peace of mind after, is also key.
