My Dad bought me this book.... 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. And I'm trying to pick at least one thing from it each day to have. Every little bit helps right? An extra boost of vitamins and antioxidants never hurt anyone! Also read that a lot of vegetables have cancer fighting benefits. Who wouldn't want to reduce their risk of cancer?
So yesterday I had carrots which were on the list. I also had an apple. I think that may have been everything that made the list. Today was grapes and dark chocolate. Instead of having my usual 100 calorie milk chocolate bar, I decided to buy some 85% cocoa dark chocolate for the added health benefits of my nightly treat :) I'm not going to lie, it's definitely an acquired taste but after a few bites it was totally curbing my craving of having sweets!
I'm always really good with my water, but this week I would also like to work on my fibre intake. 25 - 35 grams per day! Helps curb hunger too :)
