I ran across this list of the world’s healthiest foods. Of course, every list is subjective, but I like how this list is organized.Â
If you look carefully, the categories are actually in order. For instance, vegetables is the first category, whereas natural sweeteners are at the bottom.
And if you click on any of the 129 healthy foods, you get a very detailed explanation of why and how it is healthy. I was surprised to see spices on the list, thinking they were just flavoring eaten in too small a quantity to really provide much health at all. But I learned better. I now know that I need just two teaspoons of cinnamon in my cake to get 10% of my daily intake of iron. Of course, I would have to eat the whole cake. But even a little cinnamon added to one’s diet helps with several minerals.
Of course, the healthier we eat, the happier we feel, so get cooking with fresh, natural, home-made ingredients.
