Surprisingly Healthy Foods

Question

We tend to expect that foods labeled as 'healthy' are going to be either rather boring or practically inedible! But that does not have to be the case. This piglix is a list of surprisingly healthy foods that are also enjoyable to the palate.

Answer 1

Alcohol

Happy hour can be good for you. Research shows that moderate drinking -- one a day for women and two for men -- may help protect you from heart disease, kidney stones, gallstones, and type 2 diabetes. But don’t get carried away. Too much alcohol can have the opposite effect.

Answer 2

Frozen vegetables

Turns out, frozen vegetables have the same health benefits as fresh -- even more in some cases because they’re picked and frozen at their nutritional best. Stock your freezer, and they’ll be there whenever you need them.

Answer 3

French Brie

As part of a balanced diet, full-fat dairy foods, like brie, yogurt, and whole milk, aren’t likely to raise your risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, or diabetes. But the calories can add up, which is where the “balanced” part comes in. 

Answer 4

Pork

If you’re trying to lose weight, lean pork tenderloin might be the secret weapon you’ve been looking for. Having it as part of your regular diet instead of beef and chicken may help you lose weight and body fat, and make your waist smaller, too.

Answer 5

Avocado

Not all fat is bad. The kind in avocados is linked to a healthy heart and good cholesterol levels. And adding them to your regular diet may help with belly fat and protect your eyes and skin.
