Foods you didn't know were healthy

There are some foods that people mistake for unhealthy and tries to avoid, but not everyone knows that there are some foods that are actually really healthy, I wrote some of them in this post. Enjoy :)

Pop corn

People tend to tag this food as "junk food" because they associate it with fatty things like butter, salt, chocolate and caramel, but plain pop corn is actually really healthy if you don't add oil and other stuff to it because of its big amount of fiber.

Chocolate

If you're finding this out for the first time, today's probably the best day of your life. Not everyone knows that dark chocolate has the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances that are good for your heart's health. Still, you don't have to abuse of it, but one or two squares a day keep the doctor away!

Ketchup

It's rich in lycopene, a substance that can reduce your risk of heart disease. 

Coffee 

We are used to heart people saying that coffee is really bad for your heart, that might be true, but only if you abuse it. If you consume an ordinary amount of it, it can actually improve your health because it's full of antioxidants and believed to decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes and other diseases like dementia.

Tea is one my favorite drinks because it's delicious, light and because it has a lot of heath benefits. There are a lot of different types of tea in the world and having to chose one sometimes can be pretty hard, so I decided to make a list of some of the healthiest tea and tell you why you should drink it.

Green tea is probably the healthiest tea ever because it protects against heart disease, prevents diabetes and it maintains a healthy circulatory system. Plus it's full of antioxidants, it gives healthy skins and it reduces plaque and bacteria in your mouth.

Black tea has the highest caffeine content. It boots your immune system and increases enery.  It's really useful for skin and hair health. 

CHAMOMILE TEA

This one is a must for me because I always drink it before bed. Its antioxidants may help prevent complications from diabetes, like loss of vision and nerve and kidney damage, and stunt the growth of cancer cells.

HIBISCUS TEA

I'd recommend this one for when you're stressed because it improves the ability to manage stress and stimulate detoxification and it lowers blood pressure. Plus it's a high source of vitamin C and it's caffeine free.

OOLONG TEA

I call this one the beauty-tea because it's excellent for tea and complexion.

Plus it increases your metabolism and stimulates fat burning.

ROOIBOS TEA

This tea is very healthy because it has a lot of vitamins and minerals, plus it's effective in treating nervous tension, stress and insomnia. 

GINGER TEA

This one is really healthy because it supports immune system and it's really helpful in case of a cold or flu.
