If you’re focusing on making changes to your diet, you’re undoubtedly used to those healthy swaps you need to make. However, there’s always a bit of resistance to this. Usually under the assumption that healthy foods don’t taste good. However, anyone who eats healthy knows this is nonsense. That’s why we’re going to look at some of the most delicious ways to incorporate the nutrition you really need in your diet.
Seafood
There are few food groups that are quite as delicious and nutritionally beneficial as a good helping of seafood in your diet. Oily fish are high in omega 3 fatty acids, which we all know is important for muscle development. But if you’re sick of that, shellfish like crab is also rich in it, as well as being high in protein and riboflavin. However, you need to make sure it’s fresh, so you need to make sure you find where to get crab meat besides the frozen section.
Lean meats
In general, you want a healthy incorporation of meat in your diet, unless you’re vegetarian/vegan. However, the idea that lean meat isn’t tasty just because it doesn’t contain the fatty element is ridiculous. There are lots of examples using minced beef as well as chicken breast that are as tasty as they are good for you. You just need to know how to add the flavor.
Berries
Something that doesn’t need any additional flavoring is berries. Though small, these are sources of all kinds of nutritional good. Antioxidants, for example, which fight oxidative stress which causes illness. They’re also rich in vitamin C and can reduce inflammation and even help slow age-related memory loss. The juices don’t just make them delicious, either. They hydrate you and help manage your appetite in case you’re going for weight control.
Yogurt
We all know that we need a high amount of calcium, which is the primary reason that a lot of us will ensure we get our dairy content. However, potassium is also an important part of the nutrition we’re supposed to get. Bananas are the most common source of potassium. This is important for keeping muscles healthy and recovering from fatigue. However, healthy low-fat yogurts can be just as good at that. Pair them with the already mentioned berries and you have a lovely breakfast.
Orange juice
Similarly, a lot of us will know that a glass of orange juice can be a great source of vitamin C. In fact, citrus fruits early in the day can even help you burn some fat. But did you know it’s also another great source of calcium?
Ice cream
Don’t get too excited, we’re not talking about opening a tub of triple chocolate fudge. Rather, we’re talking about how some of your most nutritious, tasty ingredients can be made into your own healthy ice cream. In my personal opinion, fruit based ice creams are a lot juicier and tastier than the overly sugary kind, anyway. Fresh strawberry ice cream and froyo are personal favourites.
