Beans

There aren’t many surprises in the health food world but we might just get one by showing off how beans can help keep your healthy while also getting your individual health insurance rates down. Remember that a healthy body has plenty of individual financial benefits! Beans are often used as a meat substitute for vegetarians but they should also be consumed regularly for people who simply want to adopt a healthier diet for their lifestyle. Taking up to three cups of beans per week is the suggested amount of servings and you should get right on it. Beans have been shown to find cancer, diabetes and even heart disease thanks to their ability to fill you up while avoiding an excess of calories that could lead to being overweight — which exacerbates all of the above health conditions we mentioned. Beans are a great source of both protein and fiber as well as a host of vitamins and minerals. You can incorporate beans into so many different recipes that you’d be remiss to not try and add them to your home cooking menu.

Eggs

We’ve seen eggs flip flop between healthy and unhealthy more times than lead actors in a romantic sitcom. The truth is that eggs are a bonafide superfood and unless you have a congenial heart or cholesterol issue, you need to incorporate them into your diet. Eggs are considered one of the most nutritious foods on the planet as well as one of the most affordable. An individual large egg will house Vitamins A, B2, B5, B12, Selenium, Folate, Phosphorous and more. You’ll also get a nice serving of protein and healthy fats with a minimum amount of calories. There is really no good reason to avoid having eggs on hand. Eggs also help manipulate your cholesterol, reducing your risk of heart disease and potential for stroke in the long run.
