These foods you should eat every day

You probably know spinach is healthy for you. But did you know that this green leafy vegetable helps against osteoporosis?? Besides spinach, here are three other foods you could eat every day for good health.

So every day this one nutrition and you’ll be fine.

What food is so good

Spinach contains omega-3 fatty acids, lutein and folate (the natural form of folic acid) in addition to vitamins and minerals. These substances are very healthy for your bones, heart and blood vessels. Eat one cup of fresh spinach or half a cup of cooked spinach daily to take full advantage of the health benefits of this healthy vegetable!

For example, a salad of raw spinach, thin slices of celeriac, slices of brie, toasted pumpkin seeds and a dressing of mustard, olive oil, lemon juice and mayonnaise is delicious.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, zinc, calcium and iron. Red tomatoes in particular also contain the antioxidant lycopene, which helps against various types of cancer and heart disease. Processed tomatoes are even healthier because this allows our bodies to absorb the lycopene more easily.

Go for 22 milligrams of lycopene per day, or eight cherry tomatoes or a glass of tomato juice.

Carrots

Most red, orange or yellow fruits and vegetables contain carotenoids, but carrots contain more than any other type of vegetable. Some carotenoids are not just precursors to vitamin A. These healthy compounds also help reduce inflammation and prevent inflammatory diseases. Think asthma and arthritis.

Inflammation is even said to be linked to obesity, so that makes carrots even more beneficial in the fight against obesity. Try eating a few daily.

Oatmeal

Oats are full of healthy B vitamins and soluble fiber, which are good for your heart. The presence of fiber also ensures that the carbohydrates in oats are released into your body only slowly. This keeps your blood sugar stable, which is good for your weight.

Oatmeal also provides a whopping 20 grams of protein per cup, making it enormously nutritious. With a plate of oatmeal for breakfast, you won’t be hungry anytime soon! This prevents you from reaching for unhealthy snacks, which again contributes to a healthy weight.
