Just read the average American is not getting nearly enough fiber in their daily diet. Small wonder. It is so easy to stop by a fast food eatery and grab a bunch of fat - neatly disguised as tasty food. And those donuts I so thoroughly enjoyed this morning were hardly what even the most generous nutritionist might call healthy!
Luckily we can easily add healthy fiber to our daily healthy eating habits without too much trouble!
Keep a bowl of apples handy and toss one into your bag before you head out for work or school. Keep some celery ( preferably organic - if you can find some ) in your refrigerator! Add some dried cranberries to your next salad. And a half cup of black beans. The options are nearly endless.
Try this healthy, easy to make salad with your next meal:
what you'll need:
1 bag of washed baby spinach (about 10 cups)
2 medium sliced apples ( we like Jonathon apples in the Fall. )
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 can of dark red kidney beans - or black beans.
3/4 cup vinaigrette dressing
Mix everything in a big salad serving bowl and enjoy!
Try to include a variety of colors in your daily selection of vegetables and fruits. Dark colors - like those found in Concord Grapes, blueberries and cranberries - seem to offer more antioxidants.
Eating healthy superfoods and adding more fiber to your diet will have you feeling better in no time! Health professionals agree - the quickest way to lose weight and keep it off is a daily habit of exercise and eating healthy!
