Bananas
These yellow super fruit heroes are a great smoothie base or breakfast topper and are packed with protein, fiber and potassium. This means bananas can help muscles contract and nerve cells to respond. Though they have a reputation for being a dieter’s nemesis, bananas actually contain fiber and resistant starch and are low-energy dense food, which can help weight loss. The nutritious fruit can also help you maintain a regular heart beat and lower blood pressure and boost your overall heart health.
Olive Oil
There’s a reason that the Mediterranean diet has been hailed as one of the healthiest in the world. If you’re from that region, then you’ll know that extra-virgin olive oil is one of the essential ingredients to any Mediterranean dish. As well as adding a distinctive flavor, olive oil is also rich in monounsaturated fat. This means extra virgin olive oil can help lower harmful LDL cholesterol, discourage blood clots and regulating blood sugar levels.
