5 Foods That Will Transform You From Pizza Fanatic To Whole Food's Enthusiast
Mac Veh

Everyone likes to eat healthy, but sometimes, it isn't the easiest thing to do. Here are five foods that can be incorporated into many different meals and make anyone a healthier person.

1. Kale

While it may be seen as a food solely eaten by vegans, kale actually brings a lot of benefits for your body. A single serving of kale is full of protein and fiber, which can help monitor blood sugar and fill you up fast. Simply adding kale into any meal that uses lettuce can make a big difference with your normal eating routine.

2. Oranges

Everyone knows that oranges are full of Vitamin C, but what some people don't know are the major benefits oranges have. Simply eating an orange regularly can help fight against the risk of strokes, cancer, and many other serious diseases. You can add slices of oranges to your water bottle, eat one every morning, or even try one of the countless orange-inspired meals.

3. Quinoa

While there are benefits of eating grains, quinoa has one of the highest amounts of fiber compared to other grains. Quinoa is also full of protein and amino acids, which can help you lose weight and better your body altogether. It is also very easy to incorporate quinoa into your everyday meals, and so many meals that use quinoa.

4. Dark Chocolate

Normally considered unhealthy and associated with dessert foods, dark chocolate actually has many benefits for the body. Rich in cocoa flavonoids, dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as fighting diabetes. Mixing a couple ounces of dark chocolate and fruit chucks can be a healthy alternative to other desserts.

5. Salmon

Full of B vitamins and potassium, salmon can be a healthy alternative to other meals. Benefiting weight control and lowering the risk of heart of disease, salmon can help in so many different ways. This fish can be an easy way to help your body lose weight and improve overall health.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
