  6. 7. • Next on the list are bananas. • Bananas are loaded with potassium - about 400 mg each - which helps to lower high blood pressure, and in turn reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke (which happens to be the leading cause of death worldwide).

What’s more, black beans have 15g of protein per cooked cup; that’s an impressive amount for a plant,” (10 Superfoods People Have Totally Forgotten About).
  11. 12. • Almonds are another powerful superfood high in protein, fiber, vitamin E, and unsaturated fats. • Many people tend to avoid them because they are high in calories - however, they are great for your digestive system, skin, and heart.

  14. 15. • So feel free to slice them up for a healthy morning omelette, a hearty salad for lunch, or even make your own pasta sauce when you’re craving Italian - you really can’t go wrong by putting tomatoes in pretty much anything
  15. 16. • There you have it - a list of the top five super-foods you should be eating regularly. • Though, keep in mind the saying, “everything in moderation,” because you should always pay attention to portions and controlling the amount of food you intake.

Food intake depends on health status of every individual but for healthy person balance diet is advisable especially much intake of vegetables and fruits with purified water.

I prefer to eat a balanced meal rather than to worry about what I should be eating.

I  aim for color and variety. I also eat potatoes based on the negative impact it has on my blood sugar. remember.  I try to include whole and intact grains—whole wheat, barley, wheat berries, quinoa, oats, brown rice, and foods made with them, such as whole wheat pasta as it has a milder effect on my blood sugar and insulin than white bread, white rice, and other refined grains. Fish, chicken, beans, and nuts are all healthy, versatile protein sources—they can be mixed into salads, and pair well with vegetables on a plate. Limit red meat, and avoid processed meats such as bacon and sausage. Healthy plant oils – in moderation: I choose healthy vegetable oils like olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut, and others, and avoid partially hydrogenated oils, which contain unhealthy trans fats. Remember that low-fat does not mean necessarily mean that it is healthy.
