6 Best Foods to Eat (Fruits/Vegetables)
- SWEET POTATOES
- one of the best vegetables you can eat. They're loaded with carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Bake and then mix in some unsweetened applesauce or crushed pineapple for extra moisture and sweetness.
- MANGOES
- Just one cup of mango supplies
100% of a day’s vitamin C, one-third
of a day’s vitamin A, a decent
dose of blood-pressure-lowering potassium,
and 3 grams of fiber. Bonus:
mango is one of the fruits least likely to
have pesticide residues.
- BROCCOLI
- It has lots of vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin K and folic acid. Steam
it just enough so that it's still firm and add a sprinkle of red pepper
flakes and a spritz of lemon juice.
- GARBANZO BEANS
- All beans are good beans. They’re
rich in protein, fiber, iron, magnesium,
potassium, and zinc. But garbanzos
stand out because they’re so versatile.
Just drain, rinse, and toss a handful on
your green salad; throw them into vegetable
stews, curries, and soups; mix
them with brown rice, whole wheat
couscous, bulgur, or other whole grains.
- WATERMELON
- Watermelon is a heavyweight in
the nutrient department. A standard
serving (about 2 cups) has one-third of a
day’s vitamins A and C, a nice shot of
potassium, and a healthy dose of lycopene for only 80 fat-free, salt-free
calories. And when they’re in season,
watermelons are often locally grown,
which means they may have a smaller
carbon footprint than some other fruits.
- LEAFY GREENS
- Don’t miss out on powerhouse
greens like kale, collards, spinach,
turnip greens, mustard greens, and
Swiss chard. These stand-out leafy greens
are jam-packed with vitamins A, C, and
K, folate, potassium, magnesium, calcium,
iron, lutein, and fiber. Serve with
a splash of lemon juice or red wine
vinegar.
