What are the healthy foods?

• BEANS

Beans contain amino acids, which are the protein building blocks that the body uses to heal and to make new tissues, such as bone, muscle, hair, skin, and blood. Protein is an essential nutrient.

• SWEET POTATO

Sweet potatoes are nutritional superstars. They’re loaded with carotenoids, and are a good source of potassium and fiber. Toss sweet potato wedges with a bit of olive oil and roast until tender and lightly browned. Sprinkle with a spice or two, such as cinnamon or chili.

• MANGO

About a 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: they're irresistable. 

• PLAIN YOGHUT

Salt is the main culprit behind high blood pressure and if not monitored high BP can lead to serious health complications such as hypertension and kidney disease. The potassium present in yogurt helps eradicate excess of sodium from our bodies. In fact, a recent study suggested that low fat dairy helped them keep BP issues at bay AND also Builds immunity. Research conducted on people consuming yogurt proved that if you replace an unhealthy snack in a day with yogurt, it will help you cut down calories. This also helps burn belly fat.

• WATER MELLON

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 90 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

• OATMEAL

Whether it’s quick, old-fashioned, or steel-cut, oatmeal makes a hearty whole-grain breakfast. Each ½ cup (dry) of plain rolled oats has 4 grams of fiber, and roughly half is the soluble kind that helps lower cholesterol. Top your cooked oatmeal with toasted almond slivers and bananas instead of sugar or salt
