You can add a little flavor to it by adding fresh or frozen blueberries, make nutritious additions to your dish of cold cereal.

Protein makes you feel fuller for longer and is also essential for repairing and building muscles.

3. Yogurt and Fruit:

Considering the benefits of eating yogurt, from regulating bowel movements and promoting a healthy gut to fighting infections, incorporate this super food into your diet each day,

People who regularly eat yogurt help their body to produce vitamin B studies says.

It is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with a yogurt culture.

It provides protein and calcium, and it may enhance healthy gut bacteria.

Yogurts contain calcium, vitamins B6 and B12, riboflavin, potassium, and magnesium. The amounts depend on the type.

Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients  & are under-consumed, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).

Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure.

Some healthy fruits include; Grapefruit. Grapefruit is one of the healthiest citrus fruits.

Pineapple; Among the tropical fruits, a pineapple is a nutrition superstar.

Avocado; Avocado differs from most other fruits.

Just to name a few; Blueberries, Apples, Pomegranate, Mango and Strawberries.

They are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and disease-fighting phytochemical.

Because of this, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables every day can help reduce your risk of Heart disease.

So in a short notch joining these two gives you a chance of healthy life and days.

4. Popcorn:

Air-popped popcorn is naturally high in dietary fiber and antioxidants, low in calories and fat, and free of sugar and sodium.

This can make it an attractive snack to people with dietary restrictions on the intake of calories, fat or sodium. For the sake of flavor, however, large amounts of fat, sugar, and sodium are often added to prepared popcorn, which can quickly convert it to a very poor choice for those on restricted diets.

A cup of plain pop only contains around 31 calories (compared to a cup of regular potato chips which holds around 139 calories not exactly great) study says.

Popcorn also contains fiber and is the only snack that’s 100% whole grain. And whole grains are superb for you because they contain those antioxidants.

Fiber promotes healthy digestion, so increasing the amount of popcorn you eat can help you deal with digestive problems, such as constipation and diarrhea. 

The University of Scranton reported a study in 2012 that found the antioxidant concentration of popcorn to be much higher than expected.

In fact, the study found the concentration of polyphenols in popcorn surpassed that of most fruit. Popcorn is only 4 percent water, compared to the 90 percent water content of most fruits and vegetables.

Don’t ditch your fruit just yet, however; popcorn doesn’t have all the vitamins and minerals offered in many fruits.

These four snacks will help you live a healthy life. If you have something to add, please comment below.
