Health Foods you eat.
what is in your diet that you choose to eat either exclusively or mainly because you feel it's good for you?

I've started eating cereal again. I didn't check the calories or salt/sugar bumf but i've been trying different cereals with dried fruit, nuts, clusters etc.

Seaweed and celery. I actually hate celery, but have recently started eating it because of the health benefits, and also the fact that it is has something like 2 calories per stick. Not bad!

I generally include a lot more salad and veg into my diet these days.
There is nothing I eat because it's "healthy" that I do not enjoy to eat full stop though!

I thought celery resulted in minus calories because it takes more to digest it than it contains.
I snack on it a lot.

porridge etc!
Great responses so far.
As I get older I try and be more conscious of my diet. So I have porridge for breakfast on every weekday, at work. I also am drinking 2 x 1.5l bottles of water which I really believe is keeping colds at bay. One other habit is eating an apple every day. |

I have to have veg every day. I cannot have a meal without any. I also drink water a few times a day. I just need to replace my fizzy drinks with it! I gave up bread and pasta a year ago. That stuff is evil.

educating palate
there is something to be said though for educating your palate.
My first choice (if I think with my stomach) would be to go for a really tasty brekkie, either a visit to my work canteen or some sweet cereal. So to regularly eat porridge (with soya milk and no sweetner) is boring in comparison but something I've come to enjoy. I have not 'banned' myself from eating any food, but I am making informed choices which has meant I avoid some of the foods I love to eat. |

I make sure that I drink a 2 litre bottle of water a day and I eat salad with 90% of my meals even if the meal itself isn't that healthy!

sounds healthy in the right moderation
I think your right Libertarian.
There is no doubt that the foods you list have important individual nutrients. I eat all of them. But I am interested in what people eat as a conscious addition to their "normal" fare. I do not have an issue with any food but want to be inspired to continue eating well. Cider vineger I have found to be an amazing tonic. I drink it and feel instantly more awake, and somehow brighter. Keep addding to this thread the foods that you eat for your healths sake, as I take it you dont eat that list every day. To coin a phrase, less is more. |

I dont really eat much down to health benefits. Breakfast is a major thing for me, really struggle to eat in the morning but know it has to be done! Always try to eat well for breakfast, weetabix and a banana usually.
I try to drink plenty of water a day, usually try for 2 litres. |

Lots of raw vegetables and fruit. I used to cook my veggies, but now I eat them like nature intended - raw.
I also love avocados. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/b...am-review.html To answer the OP; I probably eat more spinach (in the raw, even ![]() ) than the average person.

I just cannot comprehend that people have to make a conscious decission to eat healthily or add certain 'healthy' foods to their diet.
I have been dragged up by parents who ate healthy and a mother who cooked fresh food every day with a good variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, meat, homemade wholemeal bread. We had a choice of drinks - tea or water. I still eat the same, but drink coffee more often than tea and I drink 1.5 ltr of water. Do I ever eat convenience or junk food or drink soft drinks ? Of course I do, but it is not part of my daily diet. Oh, about the cider vinegar, my dad used to make us drink it when we were little and a spoon of honey, every morning. Talking about 40 odd years ago.
