One of the hardest parts of being an adult is deciding what to eat each day.
And while you may be tempted to eat a ready-made pizza every night, health experts want to make sure you're including healthy food in your diet.
One way to do this is including some key and beneficial foods every day.
Fortunately, most of the foods that nutritionists recommend are common and are most likely already on your shopping list.
However, some experts warn against consuming the same foods every day, especially when it comes to full meals.
Dietitian and nutritionist Shelley Balls said about DailyMail.com:
“This limits variety, which is essential for overall health, especially gut health.”
But that doesn't mean you can't include some essential foods in your daily diet.
In fact, there are some foods that nutritionists themselves recommend consuming every day.
1. Oats
"Oats are an excellent source of whole grains and contain fiber and nutrients that make them a healthy meal or snack," said the dietitian Trisha Best FOR DailyMail.com – reports GazetaExpress.
She pointed out that the benefits of oats can be reduced if you add too much sugar or high-calorie ingredients.
However, when combined with ingredients like nuts, cinnamon, blueberries, strawberries and bananas, oats become an excellent choice.
"The fiber in oats keeps you fuller longer, preventing overeating during breakfast. Also, whole grains help stabilize blood sugar, preventing the sudden spikes and drops associated with weight gain."
2. Basil seeds
You might think that this list would include chia seeds, but dietetics Stacy Roberts Davis says that basil seeds are a better alternative.
"They are rich in fiber, protein, iron and potassium. They are a better choice than chia seeds," she said.
She also added that only Two tablespoons of basil seeds contain 15 grams of fiber., more than half of the recommended daily amount.
3. Spinach
We all know that we should consume green leafy vegetables, but did you know that spinach is one of the best for daily consumption?
"Spinach is rich in magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, helping to reduce inflammation, support muscle recovery, and promote relaxation — all of which help with better sleep," – said the registered nutritionist and dietitian Amy Shapiro.
Furthermore, spinach is a easy-to-digest vegetable, which means it does not cause stomach upset.
4. Yogurt
dietician Reda Elmardi emphasized the importance of healthy foods for the digestive system.
"Most people don't realize that digestion affects everything – mood, immunity, weight."
That's why kosi is on his list of essential foods for every day.
Yogurt is rich in probiotics, calcium and protein.
“Trust me, your gut will thank you,” he said.
5. Berries
If you prefer strawberries, blueberries or raspberries, it doesn't matter.
"Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries – they fight inflammation, improve brain function, and help keep blood sugar levels under control. Plus, they taste great!" – said Elmardi.
He explained that adding berries to your daily diet will help you age better and keep your heart healthy. /Express newspaper/
