Fiber
Fiber is great at overseeing that your digestive system is running smoothly, helps ease
constipation and keeps everything flowing smoothly. Fiber also helps moderate your weight,
decreasing your chances of obesity. It also controls
blood sugar levels and lowers your risk of diabetes.
Vegetables and whole grains provide a wonderful
supply of dietary fiber, which also monitors your blood
pressure, keeps your cholesterol levels in check, and
lowers risks of inflammation.
Steel cut oats are high in soluble fiber, which reduces
bad LDL cholesterol. Rich in healthier complex
carbohydrates, whole oatmeal is one of the best-known comfort foods that boosts the release of
serotonin, a feel-good hormone in the brain.
Yogurt
Yogurt is of course known for its high levels of calcium, which helps protect bones from
osteoporosis. Yogurt also has the good type of bacteria, which helps the digestive system do its
job, as it should. Yogurt has protein as well, for cell health and support of muscle, which naturally
declines with age.
Choose yogurt that is fortified with vitamin D in order to get the most benefit out of the calcium,
since vitamin D is needed for calcium absorption.
