Eat more fiber! Research at Tufts University found that whole grains, like wheat, brown rice, and oatmeal, contain about double the fiber as processed foods, like white rice, white bread, and crackers. The researchers also found people who get plenty of fiber consume fewer calories overall. People who eat lots of fiber also have a faster metabolism. Bottom line: Replacing processed grains in your diet with whole grains, and adding more fiber from produce, can help you lose weight and keep it off just as effectively as a brisk 30-minute walk every day.

Sprinkle some nutmeg in your coffee, hot chocolate, oatmeal or eggnog. It’s the perfect antidote to holiday stress! That’s because nutmeg is loaded with anxiety relievers like calcium and vitamin C. Plus it contains a compound called myristicin – which mimics the effects of antidepressants.

Half a cup of granola or half a cup of oatmeal? The oatmeal has half the calories, 5 times less fat, and it’s a fiber powerhouse. It also packs a decent amount of your daily requirements of iron and magnesium.

These foods will help you live longer & healthier lives.

A study found that eating the following foods just twice a week can significantly lower our risk of disease.

Healthy food #1: Kelp. Research shows that dried seaweed contains higher levels of protein, potassium, and magnesium than most land vegetables. The key is to buy kelp raised domestically – like from the Gulf Of Maine…… Because kelp from China, for example, has a higher risk for mercury contamination.

The 2nd healthy food to add to your shopping list: Coconut. Recent studies found that people who consumed high quantities of coconut products had lower rates of heart disease than those who rarely ate coconut. And it doesn’t matter what part you use……Because coconut “flesh” is a good source of fats and carbs – and coconut oil is a proven immunity booster.

One more healthy food: “Pure” maple syrup. Many health experts say we should be consuming less white sugar……And for an alternative sweetener, you can’t go wrong with maple syrup. It contains more than 50 compounds proven to fight cancer and heart disease. And you only need a small amount of it to sweeten coffee, oatmeal, or baked goods.
