3- Chocolate (Seriously...we know....this is perhaps the best news of 2020)
Yep...you've probably heard that chocolate is a superfood...and thank goodness, it is! (in reasonable portions of course) Chocolate is an anti-aging superfood that is rich in flavanols and can help maintain healthy blood vessels and keep blood pressure in check. The benefits come directly from the cocoa powder used to make the chocolate. Dark chocolate is a better choice than milk chocolate in this regard, so grab it at the store today!
4- Nuts
Nuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats and make a great healthy snack, especially when paired with grapes and other healthy goodies. Nuts are also a great source of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, as well as antioxidants. Pair your faves with a glass of red wine, which also helps with heart-health, memory and more. Wine also contains resveratrol that can activate genes that help to keep you youthful! (how's that for good news...chocolate, nuts and wine...wow!)
- Olive Oil
Olive oil is packed with healthy monounsaturated fats that help to manage heart health and healthy cells. Of course, while olive oil has great bennies, please be sure to consume in moderation. And, keep in mind, olive oil is fairly high in calories, so just a couple of tablespoons per day is plenty!
6- Eggs
Eggs are a fantastic source of protein and great for bone health! Eggs contain lots of vitamin B which is shown to help with brain function and brain health. The yolk is also packed with nutrients that assist with healthy eyes. Plus eggs are super-versatile and can be enjoyed so many ways and are easy to prepare! Fire them up with avocado, rice or quinoa, add a bit of salsa, cilantro or basil, and poof, you'll be feeling egg-cellent all day.
