Superfoods You Should Eat To Stay Healthy

If conventional wisdom is true and you are, in fact, what you eat, what should you be eating to be as healthy and happy as possible? Start with these five superfoods.

5 Superfoods You Should Eat to Stay Healthy

Broccoli: This green vegetable might help you prevent certain types of cancer thanks to a variety of phytochemicals. It also contains vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, and fiber, which can help you manage your weight, boost your immune system, and build strong bones. For best results, eat as close to raw as possible.
Sweet potatoes: Dark orange vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots contain a multitude of carotenoids that may help prevent cancer. Eating sweet potatoes can also help you load up on fiber, copper, and a variety of essential vitamins.
Buckwheat: Although not technically a grain, this seed from the rhubarb family can be used as an alternative to rice or wheat. Using buckwheat flour in your baking can help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol thanks to rutin, a powerful phytochemical found in buckwheat. Buckwheat also contains protein, fiber, B-vitamins, copper, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Blueberries: Like other dark purple fruits, blueberries contain antioxidants that can help prevent heart disease, certain types of cancer, and eye diseases. They also provide vitamin C, manganese, and fiber.
Organic skim milk: Milk has a higher calcium content than any other food, which is important for preventing osteoporosis and high blood pressure. Organic skim milk provides the benefits of milk without dangerous growth hormones or excess fat content.

Of course, the best way to get and stay healthy is to eat a well-balanced diet. Even the best superfoods should be eaten in moderation.
