Healthy Nutrition for a Longer Life

Living longer is about exercising and only eating healthy foods. The healthier the foods that you eat, the more likely you are to live for a very long time. Obviously there are thousands of healthy foods. But what are the healthiest foods that if eaten regularly guarantee you to get the most nutrients from your meals? What are the foods that everyone should be eating in order to live a long and healthy life?

Top 5 Healthiest Foods

The top 5 Healthiest Foods are:

1. Salmon

Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, protein and other beneficial nutrients. It has almost everything that you need all in one grilled piece of fish. It is also low in fat and cholesterol (high in good cholesterol), and is a great addition to anyone’s diet.

2. Soy

Soy is simply a fantastically healthy food. It has fibre, vitamins, omega-3, protein and calcium – almost everything that you need from a meal. It can also be found in almost every different type of food. Vegetarians can find soy meats, soy cheeses, tofu and other food types that can all be used to get soy in every meal. Obviously you must ensure that it is not genetically modified.

3. Spinach (Greens)

Greens are a great source of protein, fibre, calcium and other important nutrients. Spinach is actually not as good for you as kale and collard greens, but it is more versatile and can be eaten in far more ways than just salad. It can therefore easily become a staple in your cuisine even when you want to mix it up.

4. Cranberries (Berries)

Berries are another extremely healthy food. They have a number of antioxidants that are vital for healthy living. Cranberries are just one of several berries that are extremely high in antioxidants, but all berries have their benefits and should be eaten regularly.

5. Quinoa (Wholegrains)

Wholegrains are vital for healthy living, and quinoa is one of the healthiest of those wholegrains. A rather bland food overall, quinoa is very easy to flavour with things such as lemon, garlic, oils, salt, and other flavours that make it taste significantly better. It is extremely high in both protein and fibre, and is also a good source of iron and magnesium.

All five of those foods are considered some of the healthiest foods in the world – but beyond that, they are all also incredibly versatile. They are not too difficult to regularly incorporate them into your daily diet. For anyone who wants to improve their overall health and wellness, and planning on regularly eating a significantly healthier diet, these foods are the first that they should consider. They are simply loaded with all of the necessary ingredients that you need in order to improve your health.
