5 Surprisingly Healthy Foods to Satisfy Your Taste Buds
1. Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil
I’m starting off this list with an item that’s been getting a lot of publicity of late. But just in case you haven’t hear, coconut oil is one of the best oils to include in your diet, whether it’s raw or used in cooking. Unlike hydrogenated coconut oils that were used a couple of decades ago (and shown to be quite unhealthy), the coconut oil that’s on the market today is much less processed and comes with a ton of health benefits such as being good for your skin, immunity and even with weight management.
In addition to giving you healthy skin and supporting a healthy metabolism, coconut oil is a great ingredient to help you fight cravings. Try Nutiva Organic Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil in your stir fry, in a dressing, or blended into a smoothie.
2. Peppers & Pepper Flakes
Bell peppers offer a wealth of benefits for your health. First off, they’re great at boosting metabolism and helping your body burn more calories and fat. This can be a huge advantage on a fat loss plan. There’s also new research out suggesting that eating peppers on a regular basis can significantly lower your risk of a number of serious diseases, including Parkinson’s disease.
