Aside from vegetables, fruits have also been my best friend when I started on my vegetarian diet. :) I would usually much on mangoes, watermelons, melons, apples, and bananas all throughout the day. But yesterday was different, I got to have berries for lunch and dinner. :)
Berries are good for the body as they are packed with fiber and they contain a range of nutrients, such as Vitamins B and C. They are also a good source of phytonutrients and antioxidants which help the body fight against free radicals.
Strawberries, Blueberries, Cherry Tomatoes, and Lettuce
Tomatoes contain large amounts of Vitamins C and Vitamin A, which are both good for the skin. It also contains lycopene which acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that can damage cells in the body. ~ WHFooods: Tomatoes
Aside from Vitamin C, strawberries are also an excellent source of Vitamin K, potassium, and omega 3. ~ WHFoods: Strawberries
Though very small in size, blueberries are packed with antioxidants. They are also very low in calories. Aside from Vitamin C, they also contain Vitamin E which is good for the skin. ~ WHFoods: Blueberries
I love eating berries straight from the chiller. :) Not only will it make me healthy, it is also a great way to beat the summer heat! :) So next time you're craving for something to munch, be sure to grab a bowl of fresh berries!
