The Five BEST Fruits and Vegetables

Now, if you have looked around your local supermarket, there are many different choices that may meet your eye.

From apples to oranges and everything in between, there are a lot of choices that will not only stimulate your appetite, but will improve everything from general health to weight loss.

Now, these foods aren’t your common everyday “superfoods,” but they should be!

The facts: these five fruits and veggies are necessary if you’re looking for better health and wellness.

So what are they?

1. Kale

Now, we have talked about kale in the past as being a food that is brimming with healthy nutrition.

That is the MAIN reason why it is, once again, on this list!

Kale contains high levels of vitamin K (one cooked cup contains MORE than your daily recommended intake – which is great) and is necessary for clot formation, fighting off certain diseases, and may even help you avoid osteoporosis.

And, kale contains other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that are necessary for better overall health.

One very important nutrient found in kale happens to be fiber, which fills you up, leaves you feeling satisfied, and may even lower cholesterol and overall heart disease risk.

2. Blackberries

Now, berries are full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals that have been shown to appease your stubborn appetite AND improve brain health.

But they have another secret!

Blackberries contain a potent antioxidant called rutin which is important for better overall heart health.

It has been linked to a reduction in the enzyme activity that may cause clots, which could lead to strokes!

All this in one power-packed tiny berry!

3. Eggplant

It’s purple.

It’s controversial (due to reactions, nutrient profile, and other things).

And, it’s full of healthy nutrition!

Eggplant, however, does contain a powerful nutrient that has been linked to the prevention of cancer and also Alzheimer’s disease.

Nasunin is a potent antioxidant that has been shown to find and destroy free radicals (cause damage and inflammation) – especially in your brain cells.

Eggplant has also been associated with a reduction in cholesterol and may even be linked to a relaxation of your artery wall, therefore improving blood flow to the rest of your body.

Result: better heart and vascular health!

4. Basil

This tiny leaf is commonly used for making pesto, many Italian dishes, and many other applications.

However, for health purpose, it’s a diamond in the rough – due to some of the volatile oils that are contained in the leaves!

Basil contains a potent compound in its oil – called eugenol – which has been linked to a reduction in the COX enzyme.

Now, to put this in perspective, many common over-the-counter pain relievers are designed to ALSO reduce the COX enzyme, therefore reducing inflammation and, in some cases, pain.

Basil has also been linked to cancer prevention, improved cardiovascular health, and may even act as an anti-bacterial agent!

All this powerful nutrition in one TINY bunch of leaves!

5. Red Bell Peppers

Want a secret to fighting wrinkles and aging of your skin?  Look no further than the red bell pepper!

This pepper contains loads of Vitamin C, which according to some studies, may enhance the production of collagen in your skin.

And this may equal less wrinkles in the long RUN!

Plus, vitamin C has been shown to boost helpful cells in your body that fight off infections that could make you sick!
