6. Low-fat dairy products
Dairy products and milk constitute 10 to 12 percent of our total dietary fat. While whole milk is a good source of vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, riboflavin, and phosphorus, it is high in saturated fat and can cause problems with high calories and weight gain. Low-fat milk (1% milk) and eggs have very little fat. The low-fat products help build muscles, prevent obesity, and lower risks of diseases like type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Among the world’s best low-fat dairy products and eggs are:
Cheese, grass-fed, Cow’s milk, grass-fed, Eggs, pasture-raised, Milk, goat, Yogurt, grass-fed
7. Nuts and seeds
Nuts and seeds are a delicious and reliable source of enriching proteins, vitamins, fiber and complex carbohydrates. These foods also provide generous amounts of ‘trace’ or ‘minor’ minerals like selenium, magnesium, copper, and zinc, which are under-consumed in today’s over-processed diets.
Some of the most nutritious nuts and seeds in the world are:
Almonds, Cashews, Flax seeds, Peanuts, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts
8. Natural sweeteners
Whether made from sugar cane or plants like maple, incorporating natural sweeteners in your diet is one of the healthiest ways to lose weight. Generally, the less you process the sugar source the more nutrients you get in your sweetener.
The world’s best sources of natural sweeteners are:
- Blackstrap molasses
- Honey
- Maple syrup
