Always keep this in your kitchen!

What you eat on a daily basis has a high impact on your health. Good nutrition is essential for leading a healthy lifestyle. When paired with exercise, a nutritious diet may help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, lower your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and boost your overall health and well-being. On the other hand, a diet heavy in calories, salt, sugars, saturated fat, and low in fruits, vegetables, calcium, fiber, and whole grains can severely affect your weight loss plans, and contributes to some of the major causes of death and raises the risk of multiple diseases, including: diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, obesity, cancer, and osteoporosis.

But, guess what? Simply looking around your kitchen cupboard will reveal that all of these junk items may be readily replaced with healthier alternatives. One of the simplest and most successful methods to stick to a healthy eating plan is to stock your kitchen with nutritional food basics. Having healthful items on hand might make it simpler to prepare a nutritious and quick dinner rather than ordering takeout or opting for processed snacks. Here’s a list of some important foods that every person should keep in their kitchen:

1. Extra-virgin olive oil. Works as an anti-inflammatory, and much more!

2. Low-fat Greek yogurt. Rich in calcium, protein, and much more!

3. Honey. A good source of antioxidants, and much more!

4. Beans. A good source of protein, folate, and much more!

5. Quinoa. A tiny seed with a lot of protein & fiber.

6. Eggs. A great source of inexpensive, high-quality protein.

7. Fresh tomato & tomato paste. Rich in antioxidants.

8. Fresh herbs. Packed with vitamins, minerals & fiber.

9. Oatmeal. Rich in antioxidants, magnesium, iron, and much more!
