13. Mangoes

Sweet, juicy, and with unmatched flavor, mangoes are so full of vitamins A and C that just half of a medium mango will give you your daily recommended allowance of both! Mangoes also have B vitamins, iron, potassium, and calcium, as well as zinc and selenium. It also has 17 of the 20 amino acids that are in the human body. No food manufacturer can offer all this and that delicious taste, no matter how hard they try.

14. Nut Butters

No matter which nut butter you like best, it’s a healthy, protein filled food that Big Food cannot match. Depending on the nut you choose, you can get plenty of vitamin E, protein, magnesium, B vitamins, manganese, and copper. In fact, the only problem with nut butters is not sitting down and eating the whole jar! Make your own from scratch for the best health, but if you would rather buy it, look for brands that don’t have added oils or sugar.

15. Yogurt

Yogurt is so good that it’s almost like eating ice cream! Studies have shown that people who eat yogurt regularly have improved blood pressure levels and denser bones. The best types of yogurt are the ones with active, live cultures. This will improve your gut bacteria and strengthen your immune system. Eating these types of yogurt has been linked to improved digestion, improved absorption of vitamins, and lower cholesterol levels. Avoid yogurts that are filled with added sugars. If you like flavored yogurt, buy the plain, natural type of yogurt and add your own fresh berries, fruit, or wheat germ for a bit of flavor and crunch.

It’s time to break the myth that healthy foods lack flavor! Foods that are grown in healthy soils and allowed to ripen naturally, in their own good time, are the best tasting foods that can keep your body free from disease and working its best 24/7. Now that is something Big Food can never claim!
