6 Foods You Should Eat Once a Day!
There are lots of little
things you can do each day to help your body stay healthy in the long term.
Exercising, staying hydrated, and eating healthy are all ingredients to a
healthy lifestyle!
Eating healthy can be
difficult but once you get into the routine, it is extremely rewarding, and
better yet, it can actually make you more motivated to exercise!
6 Foods You Should Eat Once a Day!
For starters, try having
at least one of these foods every day!
1. Red Bell Peppers
Red bell peppers are
powerful antioxidants that also contain over 60% more vitamin C than green
peppers – which is 300% of your daily vitamin C! Having a vitamin C-rich diet
will also encourage your body to produce collagen, which will slow down the formation of wrinkles, and help strengthen your hair and nails.

2. Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts can
inhibit the growth of tumor cells in your body by blocking enzymes that
actually have the potential to promote tumor growth. They’re also great weight
loss diet additions because 100 grams of Brussels sprouts only contain 45
calories, but they have over 3 grams of protein and 3 grams of dietary fiber.
Brussels sprouts also contain folate, vitamins B6, K, and C, dietary fiber, potassium, manganese, and omega-3 fatty acids.

3. Blueberries
Good things come in
small packages! Blueberries have more antioxidants than any other North
American fruit. 1 cup of blueberries a day will help keep you healthy and aid
in preventing cancer, diabetes, and memory loss associated with aging.
Blueberries also happen
to be my favorite smoothie ingredient! Try putting blueberries in your next
smoothie, or better yet your next salad!
4. Tomatoes
Tomatoes or unsalted
tomato juice should be a part of your every eating routine. Tomatoes are filled
with lycopene, which has been proven to hinder bladder, lung, skin, and stomach
cancers from developing.
Tomatoes have the power
to fight free radicals in your body, keeping you and your immune system strong
and healthy.
5. Carrots
Easy to cook with and
delicious to snack on, carrots are a great vegetable to keep in your everyday
diet. Carrots have beta-carotene, which has been shown to drastically reduce
inflammatory conditions such as asthma and arthritis.
And on top of that, carrots contain vitamins K and C which will
support your immune system and help keep you healthy all year round.
6. Walnuts
These brainy nuts are
crammed full of omega-3 fatty acids, anti-inflammatory polyphenols, and
protein! This makes them the perfect post-workout snack!
I always pack a handful
of walnuts when I know I have a busy day ahead of me. They’re easy to snack on
and they’re extremely filling (which will help you cut down on junk food
snacking).
All of these foods are
incredibly easy to incorporate into your cooking and better yet, you can cut
them all up raw and throw them in a salad! Remember to buy these ingredients
locally or organic in order to get their full nutritious potential and avoid
ingesting harmful pesticides and GMOs.
