Healthy Foods You Should Eat Every Day

While the term ‘healthy’ for food is a little subjective, based on food preferences and 
dietary restrictions, there are some foods that are ideal as long as you are able to eat 
them. As long as none of these foods are a potential food allergy for you, they are 
among the healthiest foods you can put in your body, and recommended on a daily 
basis.


Spinach

Eat your leafy greens! Spinach is one of the healthiest greens you can eat, and goes 
great with many types of meals. It doesn’t have a strong flavor, so most people enjoy 
this green. It goes great in salads, breakfast scrambles and omelets, pasta, and so 
many other foods. Try to add more spinach and other leafy greens to your daily diet in 
order to get more vitamins and minerals including folate and omega-3s. If you aren’t a 
fan of spinach, try other dark leafy greens like collard greens, romaine, or kale.


Nuts

Unless you have a nut allergy, these should definitely be on your list! Nuts are a 
wonderful source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They increase your fiber when you 
don’t get a lot of it from fruits and whole grains, plus are a source of plant-based protein 
if you are a vegetarian or vegan. If you are sensitive to peanuts, which is actually a 
legume, go for healthy nuts like brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, and pecans. There are so 
many to choose from.


Berries

When it comes to fruit, it doesn’t get much better than berries. You will get lots of 
healthy antioxidants by eating more berries like blueberries, strawberries, and 
raspberries. These fruits are delicious and sweet, but don’t have as much sugar and 
carbs as other fruits. You can get a nice boost to your heart health, and have a healthy 
snack without a lot of added calories. 


Avocado

For more healthy fats in your diet, add some avocado. This will increase your fats and 
calories, which are needed for a well-balanced diet. Avocado is great in a green 
smoothie in the morning, on toast, diced up as a side dish or in a salad. You can also 
use it as a healthy dip for whole grain crackers or raw veggies.


Yogurt

Lastly, if you can handle dairy, yogurt is great to have every day. This will help to 
provide probiotics, calcium, and many vitamins and minerals your body needs to grow 
healthy and strong.
