Top 10 foods for health that you should consume

These are the top 10 foods for your health that you should consume.

First, chocolate

As long as you don't develop a comfort eating habit, there is nothing wrong with the occasional culinary reward. This is why chocolate is frequently referred to as a "health food." -Peter Yellowlees, general psychiatry professor and UC Davis Health's director of wellbeing.

Two. Quinoa

You can prepare this wonderful grain in both savory and sweet recipes. In comparison to certain other carbs, it has a low glycemic index and is abundant in protein and fibre. -- Brandee Waite, fellowship director for sports pill at UC Davis

3. Legumes

"Legumes, such as chickpeas (garbanzo beans), are a fantastic, healthful snack that, depending on how you prepare them, may also add a lot of flavor." I enjoy roasting peppers that are in season and adding them to hummus, as well as preparing jalapeo-cilantro hummus.

A nutritious, delicious meal can be made by using hummus as a simple, healthy dip or to add flavour to any wrap or sandwich in place of a mayonnaise-based spread. -Santana Diaz, executive chef at UC Davis Health

4. Pickled vegetables

Pickling veggies like cucumbers is quite customary, but trying something new like pickling carrots can be interesting and delicious! Another approach to giving a vegetable that occasionally gets monotonous a tasty profile is to spice up your snack game with some chipotle-pickled carrots. -Santana Diaz, executive chef at UC Davis Health

5. milk with chocolate flavouring

It's the best beverage for recovering. — Brian Davis, clinical professor at the Physical pill and Rehabilitation Department at UC Davis,

6. Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables

These foods are nutrient-rich, especially in glucosinolates, which are essential to the detoxification process. The two best preparations are either raw or rapid steaming for five to 10 minutes. -Alex Nella, a registered dietician in paediatrics

7. Beets

"They contain a remarkable array of protecting carotenoids, regardless of color—red, yellow, or golden—or part—root, or green. There is evidence that their dietary nitrates can make nitric oxide and improve endurance training. -Alex Nella, a registered dietician in paediatrics

8. Leafy green vegetables like spinach, 

Lutein and zeaxanthin, nutrients that can help prevent macular degeneration, are abundant in them. Professor of ophthalmology at the UC Davis Eye Center, Jeffrey Caspar

9th. peanubutter

The food I enjoy most is peanut butter. It contains sugar, carbohydrates, and protein. My kids adore it, and it's a terrific recovery food. -- Brian Davis, clinical professor at the Physical and Rehabilitation Department at UC Davis,

No other brand is associated with UC Davis Health.

10. Almonds

Almonds contain a lot of vitamin E, which guards against cataracts and macular degeneration. I advise consuming just a few handfuls each day. Professor of ophthalmology at the UC Davis Eye Center, Jeffrey Caspar
