Sometimes it feels like the only foods that are good for you are the ones with no colour, no texture and no taste. The balance between eating healthy and keeping your appetite and taste buds satisfied isn't always easy. The foods we eat don't just impact our weight, but also provide minerals, vitamins and nutrients to keep our whole body healthy, inside and out. Every part of the way we look is improved by a well balanced diet. Shiny hair, glowing skin and fabulous fingernails all need good eating habits to keep in top shape. That doesn't mean you have to give up eating any foods with flavour! There are some foods that you will have no trouble adding to your diet, sheerly because of taste. The added bonus is that they are also good for your health and appearance. Anti-oxidant rich blueberries make a wonderful snack all on their own, or can add some flavour to yogurt, cereals and salads. A fabulous and great tasting enhancement for both skin and hair, they are also good for your heart health. Looking for a food loaded with protein, iron, omega-3's and Vitamin B-12? Salmon is the premier choice. It's quite tasty and full of texture as well as being one of the super foods you should have as part of your diet anyway. Add to that it can help slow down the look of aging, and it's easy to see why it gets such rave reviews. Carrots have a natural sweetness and are a very versatile vegetable. A great source of Vitamin A, which is good for your complexion and for your eyesight, carrots also contain anti-oxidants and fibre. You don't have to eat raw carrot sticks to add them to your diet. They are a natural sweetener for things such as breads, cakes, muffins and also make a great salad addition or side dish. If you're feeling thirsty and want a little something with kick to wet your whistle, try some pink or red wine. Taken in moderation (one or two glasses per day) it's not only great for stalling the aging process, but the anti-oxidants are great for your heart and is reported to reduce the likelihood of cancer.
