According to the popular Health magazine here are a few of a some must have foods in your home for health and energy.
• Extra virgin olive oil: so prolific and necessary that it's earned its very own acronym, EVOO is the cornerstone of the peerlessly healthy Mediterranean diet.
• Nonfat Greek yogurt: because creamy and rich and healthy and low calorie are four descriptors you hardly ever find in the same sentence. Our desi yoghurt is just fine too.
• Quinoa: Dietician Jenna Braddock says that "For one cup of cooked quinoa, you get 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber for just 222 calories. Plus, the hearty whole grain is a good source of energizing iron and B vitamins." Oh, and it's great in salads and soups or as a side dish. This trend has just started in India too.
• Eggs: three words: healthy, affordable and filling and packed with protein.
• Tomato paste: Packs flavor and richness without calories or fat. Plus, it's cheap and chock full of cancer-fighting lycopene.
• Bananas: cheap, hearty, healthy, flavorful, and diverse and filled with potassium.
• Garlic:Garlic allows you to add flavor to your dishes quickly and easily without unhealthy fats or processed ingredients.
• Frozen shrimp: low in calories, high in flavor, pack a protein punch.
• Mustard: bursting with selenium and turmeric, two immune boosting and cancer-fighting components.
• Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate provides powerful disease-fighting polyphenols and has even been associated with weight loss."
