10 Healthy Foods You Can Eat Every Day

• Dark chocolate (≥70% cocoa) isn’t just a treat—it’s loaded with flavonoids and polyphenols that curb inflammation, help lower cholesterol, and even boost blood flow to your brain

• Spinach, kale and their dark-leafy cousins pack vitamins A, C, E and K plus iron, calcium, magnesium and fiber—yet come in at almost zero calories

• Carrots, beets and other root veggies owe their vibrant hues to beta-carotene, a powerhouse antioxidant that your body converts into vitamin A to support vision and immune health

• Mushrooms are one of the rare plant sources of vitamin D and brim with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that aid immunity and gut health

• Avocados are nature’s creamy source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol while dialing down LDL (“bad”) levels

• Lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit deliver a double whammy of vitamin C plus flavonoids that enhance immune defenses and promote collagen synthesis for glowing skin

• The whole list proves healthy eating isn’t bland—crunch, color and deep flavors are all part of the package
