\"Food\"
\nIf you have decided that you are going to eat better in the new year, you aren’t alone! According to statistics, eating healthier and losing weight are tied in first place for New Year’s resolutions. <\/p>\n

To assist you in achieving your lifestyle goals, here are five healthy foods<\/a> that you should incorporate into your regular diet. <\/p>\n

1. Kale<\/h2>\n

Kale is a wonder food of sorts. This fresh, green, winter vegetable supplies Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Vitamin A. Additionally, it is nutrient-dense with copper and Manganese, Calcium, Potassium, Fiber, B Vitamins, Vitamin E, Iron, Protein, Magnesium, Omega-3, phosphorus, and folates. <\/p>\n

One cup of kale is only 33 calories, and it is very filling. For a tasty, healthy snack, kale chips are a delicious, inexpensive, and guilt-free option that you can make at home. You might also consider sauteeing kale with your favorite seasonings as an energy-giving side dish. <\/p>\n

2. Non-Dairy Milk<\/h2>\n

These days, non-dairy milk is an option for people who are lactose intolerant or are making efforts to reduce the amount of dairy they consume or are already following a vegan or vegetarian diet. <\/p>\n

There are several types of non-dairy milk to choose from, including Almond milk, Coconut milk, Cashew Milk, Soy Milk, and blends that feature two types of milk combined. To maintain their vegan or vegetarian status, they use carrageenan<\/a>, a plant product that helps in preserving the consistency of these products.<\/p>\n

Consumers can choose from flavors including unsweetened vanilla, vanilla, chocolate, original, dark chocolate, unsweetened vanilla, light vanilla, and light original. Calorie counts start as low as 30 calories per serving, making it ideal for shakes and smoothies or enjoyed with a light meal. <\/p>\n

\"Non-Dairy<\/p>\n

3. Nutritional Yeast<\/h2>\n

According to reports, nearly 40% of adults are B12 deficient<\/a>. Nutritional Yeast is an excellent addition to your kitchen in 2018 because it supplies an abundance of B Vitamins in a delicate, flaky format. <\/p>\n

Sometimes called ‘nooch’ Nutritional Yeast is available in a shaker, similar to the shakers used for grated parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

Nutritional yeast is ideal for sprinkling on top of popcorn, homemade kale chips, on top of potatoes, or as a building block for vegan cheese sauces. It has a nutty, buttery flavor that is pleasant to taste.<\/p>\n

The nutritional values of ‘nooch’ may vary, depending on the manufacturer. Generally, two tablespoons of nutritional yeast contain 60 calories. Further, a single serving packs 9 grams of protein in a complete form, including nine essential amino acids that the body is unable to produce naturally.<\/p>\n

\"Tomatoes\"<\/p>\n

4. Tomatoes<\/h2>\n

Are they a fruit? Are they a vegetable? Regardless, adding more tomatoes to your diet in 2018 helps keep you supercharged for the new year. Red tomatoes offer the most nutritional punch because they contain copious amounts of the antioxidant lycopene<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Another remarkable thing about red tomatoes is that processed tomatoes are just as beneficial as those consumed fresh. Studies have found that a diet rich in lycopene may decrease the chance of cancers such as lung, prostate, bladder, prostate, skin, and stomach. Additionally, the properties found in tomatoes may minimize the risk of coronary artery disease.<\/p>\n

If possible, try to source fresh tomatoes locally to support farmers in and around your community or consider growing your own for fun and savings this spring and summer season. <\/p>\n

\"Oats\"<\/p>\n

5. Oats<\/h2>\n

Nothing hits the spot on a cold winter morning quite like a warm bowl of oats or oatmeal. Oats contain<\/a> high levels of soluble fiber, which is known for lowering heart disease<\/a> risks.<\/p>\n

While they provide a lot of carbohydrates, the fiber slows the release of these carbs and sugar, so your body can process them efficiently. With ten grams of protein half-cup serving, they fill you up and supply the energy you need for the day. <\/p>\n

We hope you decide to follow these suggestions and make 2018 the healthiest year ever!<\/p>\n
