Healthiest Foods in the World: Lentils

Lentils: India

A great source of protein, lentils pack in cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber, and twice the amount of iron of other legumes. They’re also higher in B vitamins and folate, and the pigment in Beluga black lentils acts as an antioxidant and helps to protect against heart disease, cancer and the aging process in general.

Healthiest Foods in the World: Yogurt

Yogurt: Greece

Yogurt improves lactose intolerance, builds stronger bones, lowers high blood pressure, enhances immunity, aids in some gastrointestinal conditions and may even have anti-cancer and weight loss benefits.

It’s important to eat only all-natural, plain yogurt to get the most benefit. A drizzle of honey with nuts or mixed fresh fruit provides a sweet and healthy snack.
