5 Healthy Fall Foods to Add to Your Diet

Eating a healthy diet is one of the best ways to stay fit and to keep your body working properly. Eating a well-rounded diet high in protein, vegetables, and healthy fats while avoiding processed foods and sugar, can help boost your metabolism and regulate your immune system. Here are 5 foods to add into your diet this fall - they're nutritious and delicious!

  1. Sweet Potatoes
    Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins including vitamin C, B2, B6 D, E, and Biotin. They can be prepared sweet or savory, so they are great for everyone.
  2. Kale
    This superfood is low in calories and is full of fiber to help regulate digestion and lower blood sugar. Change up your morning smoothie by adding some fresh kale into the mix, or cook it up and serve it as a vegetable side to any meal.
  3. Almonds
    Almonds contain both protein and fat (the good kind,) and can help lower cholesterol, build strong bones, and boost brainpower. Throw some almonds into a salad for a crunchy element, or snack on them when you need a pick me up.
  4. Butternut Squash
    Butternut squash is packed with vitamins and nutrients like beta carotene and vitamin C and is also known to improve heart health. Add this healthy ingredient to soups, smoothies, salads, or just eat it by itself - you can't go wrong.
  5. Beets
    Beets are sweet in more ways than one. They are full of vitamins and can help boost your immune system, help with nerve and muscle function, and keep your bones, livers, and kidneys healthy. Don't forget to mix it up and try golden beets too!
