- Tomatoes | Tomatoes are great for incorporating into your diet. They have many health benefits from being loaded with vitamin C and vitamin K, as well as potassium and folate. Tomatoes have a good amount of lycopene antioxidants which are great to help reduce some cancers and heart disease.
- Northern Beans | Gain some added iron and fiber into your diet with Northern beans. They are also a great source of potassium and even protein. I find they are a great bean to use as they are cholesterol-free and low in fat and calories.
- Chicken Stock | Chicken broth is great for giving your immunity a boost, helping with digestion, protecting your joints, and even helping you sleep more peacefully at night.
