Which Healthy Food Fads Should You Follow?

Americans are obsessed with keeping their weight in check, and yet the national obesity rate is rising rapidly, the number of type 2 diabetics and pre diabetics has soared, and junk food flies off the grocery store shelves.

How can it be that we are spending so much time and energy trying to figure out how to eat more healthfully, but are failing?

Part of the problem is the wide array of fad diets that promise the moon, the stars and the ability to wear jeans that are a couple sizes smaller. On the other hand, some food fads can be really good for you, as long as you know what to look for and how to incorporate them into your daily routine. It is wise to vary your daily intake including foods from all of the food groups. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables along with whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein will provide an array of nutrients your body needs.

Here are some food fads that are more than just fads; they are actually good for you.

Leafy Greens

People tend to turn their nose up at kale, spinach, Swiss chard and beet greens. However, these leafy green vegetables are versatile and pack significant nutritional benefit, helping to give you more energy, maintain healthy vision and improve cholesterol levels.

If you do decide to make leafy greens a bigger part of your diet, be imaginative. Add them in with your scrambled eggs in the morning, make a sandwich using romaine lettuce in place of bread, add greens to your smoothie or add them to your favorite soup recipe.

Pulses

You may have never heard of are the seeds of dry crops: dry peas, beans, chickpeas and lentils. The United Nations declared 2016. The International Year of the  versatile, flavorful, affordable and sustainable. They can also be ground into gluten-free flour and used for healthy alternatives to breads and baked goods. Try hummus in a salad or on a sandwich or try lentil soup to incorporate pulses into your daily routine.
