Healthy Food You Should Eat Everyday

Carrots
Carrots are full of beta carotene (vitamin A), good for your eyes, and easy to keep in the frig. Eat them raw when possible given cooking carrots tends to diminish the benefits.

Apples
Apples are very beneficial to your health and apples contain more Vitamin C than an orange. Also, they are full of antioxidants that help prevent diseases. Eat apple slices as a snack or add them to your salads.

Yams
I love yams! They are rich in Vitamin B6, which is great for your heart. In addition, they are also high in potassium (controls blood pressure).

Olives
Green or black, olives are an excellent source of Vitamin E, iron, copper and dietary fiber. I eat them right out of the jar.

Onions
Onions contain flavonoids, which are good for you, and eating onions has been shown to help lower blood pressure.

Flaxseed
Flaxseed is a grain known to be beneficial, particularly for women. Small amounts eaten daily can help maintain your bone health and reduce the risk of breast cancer. This website offers extensive info on flaxseed and flaxseed oil.

Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in lutein and they contain lycopene, which is an antioxidant. Many studies have shown that eating tomatoes reduces your risk of cancer. My favorite is grilled cheese and tomato. See Tomato Tackles Cancer here for more medical info.

Garlic
There are numerous benefits for garlic: lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, and may even help prevent cancer of the stomach.

Green Tea
Rich in antioxidants, green tea promotes a healthy immune system.

Cranberries
Cranberries are good for your urinary tract and they are also rich in vitamins and antioxidants and vitamins. Go for the natural juice, skip the 10% juice cocktails, or just eat cranberries.
