Foods Worth Getting Addicted To

Nuts

Although you may first think of chocolate covered peanuts – sorry, they just won't cut it. There are so many raw nuts that are both delicious and incredibly nutritious. Walnuts are the perfect example, as they're versatile and extremely healthy. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber, consume one serving per day.

Nuts are great in salads, adding a little texture and elevated flavor. You can also make your own homemade trail mix to snack on at work – pure dark chocolate chunks, dried fruits, nuts, and seeds. Remember, nuts are a food in which should be portion controlled as they're high in calories.

Berries

Whether you like strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries, these small fruits are juicy and ready to burst with flavor. Offering your body high levels of antioxidants, they reduce your risk of numerous ailments, including cancer and heart disease.

In order to achieve optimal health benefits, it's recommended that you eat a variety – at least two different types a day. Although you may associate vitamin C with oranges, strawberries actually yield more of this vitamin per serving. If you're prone to urinary tract infections, cranberries consumed on a daily basis can reduce your risk.
