A nutritionist named 5 important foods for proper nutrition

American dietitian Barbara Quinn talks about 5 healthy products that she always advises patients to include in their diet.
Apples
Foods high in soluble fiber are known for their ability to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Berries
“I’m a big fan of blueberries, but all berries are packed with what scientists call bioactive compounds that help protect the heart and brain.”
They may even help ease gut issues. Enjoy them fresh, frozen, or dried to get your daily dose of nutrients.
All types of cabbage
Cauliflower, along with other cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, contain compounds that have been widely studied for their ability to neutralize cancer-causing toxins. They are considered non-starchy vegetables that are high in nutrients and fiber, while being low in carbs and calories.
Eggs
In addition to being the most digestible, high-quality protein on the planet, whole eggs are rich in choline, a nutrient that our bodies need for brain development, as well as mood, memory, and muscle control.
Grapes
“I can’t tell you how many of my clients have mistakenly thought grapes were off-limits because they were “high in sugar.” Not necessarily. For example, half a cup of red grapes contains about the same amount of natural sugar as a small apple.”
Red grapes have additional antioxidant properties due to their red pigment.
