Healthy food is just yummy. It tastes amazing and it makes you feel great. Why eat unhealthy junk when you can enjoy having delicious food that will also make you healthier? Yummy, healthy food that is good for your body? What’s not to love about that!
Most of what we eat isn’t healthy or nutritious. The media rarely tells us that, though. They want to sell us things and show us the tasty looking food instead. It’s hard to know what foods are healthy for us without spending a lot of time analyzing data. It’s also hard to find great recipes that use healthy ingredients and interesting flavors. This is where Health yFood Tips For You comes in…
I love eating good food if you couldn’t already figure that out and I can’t stress this enough. The problem with most diets and healthy food is that they taste horrible. I want to share with you some recipes you can cook up or even get delivered to your door so that it’s very easy for you to eat healthy but also good tasting meals.
Yummy Food That Is Healthy

1. Fish

“Eat plenty of fish, which are high in healthy omega 3 fatty acids, and smaller portions of red meat to reduce your risk of diseases like stroke, heart disease and cancer.” – Bob Canter, professor of surgery at UC Davis Division of Surgical Oncology
2. Broccoli or any of the cruciferous vegetables

“These foods are rich in nutrients including glucosinolates, which are key in detoxification processes. These are best served raw or quick-steamed for five to ten minutes.” – Alex Nella, pediatric registered dietitian
3. Beets

“No matter which color – red, yellow, golden – or which part – root or greens – they contain a wonderful variety of protective carotenoids. Evidence suggests their dietary nitrates can be converted to nitric oxide and improve endurance exercise.” – Alex Nella, pediatric registered dietitian
4. Spinach and other leafy green vegetables

“These are packed with lutein and zeaxanthin: nutrients that can help protect against macular degeneration.” – Jeffrey Caspar, professor of ophthalmology at the UC Davis Eye Center
5. Kale

“It’s a green leafy veggie that I love chopped in salad or cooked with onion and garlic. It is nutrient dense, has lots of antioxidants and can help lower cholesterol.” – Brandee Waite, director of the UC Davis Sports Medicine fellowship
