Blueberries, water and red wine!

Eating a balanced and healthy diet can be fun. As we get older our diet becomes even more important. Some medical disorders such as high blood pressure or diabetes have do’s and don’ts so please listen to your doctor. Here are 10 foods to keep you healthy per Webb MD.

  1. Water – our bodies are mostly made of water and need more everyday.
  2. Blueberries– are packed with various antioxidants. (antioxidants — things like vitamin C and vitamin E — keep your cells healthy)
  3. Fiber– helps with your digestive health and ease constipation.
  4. Fatty fish– heart healthy
  5. Olive oil– can use instead of butter and is way healthier
  6. Yogurt– helps with bone health
  7. Tomatoes– foods high in lycopene, a natural chemical, can help protect you against prostate cancer and may help prevent lung cancer
  8. Red Wine – Alcohol may help lower “bad” cholesterol, prevent blood clots, and ease your blood pressure. Of course you have to drink responsible.
  9. Broccoli– high in fiber with plenty of vitamins and antioxidants.
  10. Nuts– full of omega-3s, fiber and protein.
