Surprising foods that are good for
you
We love food just as much as we love our family. It can be
hard to stay healthy amidst all the delicious goodies that surround us. When we
found out the health benefits of these favorites, we just had to share them! It
makes us feel more like a healthy girl when the foods we love are actually good
for us! Read on to learn our fave surprising healthy foods.
Avocados
People are always talking about how avocado is a very
fatty food. What they won’t tell you though is that the kind of fat in avocados
is actually good fat that can help absorb the antioxidants that avocados
contain.
Butter
Ok ok hear us out. We know butter is the sin of all sins
when it comes to healthy foods, but what we learned shocked us! Butter is rich
in fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids. These are surprisingly good health
benefits, so don’t be too scared of real butter.
Coffee
Our coffee addicts will love this one! Did you know that a
coffee a day might actually increase your lifespan? Coffee on its own is
extremely high in antioxidants. Don’t get too caught up in riding the coffee
wave because more than one cup a day might cause negative symptoms
like increasing your high rate causing anxiety.
Peanut Butter
A childhood pleasantry we’ve learned that is not good for
us, however, peanut butter is actually a great source of protein and
might actually decrease your risk of coronary heart disease. It all
depends on how you use it. Make sure it’s the natural stuff with no added
sugar!
Bread
We love carbs! We’ve been taught that bread is the devil,
however a good whole wheat bread is packed with a bunch of overlooked
nutrients. Some of these benefits include protein, fiber, B vitamins, and
antioxidants. So next time you’re feeling the craving for bread, reach for the
whole wheat stuff and it’ll actually be good for you!
