The Toronto Star put together their food section's top eight ways to improve your diet.
Here they are:
Blueberries - They're a low-calorie source of fibre and antioxidants. If eaten regularly, may improve short-term memory and reduce the cellular damage associated with aging.
Almonds - Delicious. Plus, they contain magnesium, iron, calcium, fibre, riboflavin and vitamin E, an antioxidant. Most fat in almonds is monounsaturated, which can help lower cholesterol levels when substituted for other fats.
Broccoli - Provides vitamin C, beta-carotene (an antioxidant) fibre, calcium, potassium, and phytonutrients - compounds that may help prevent diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
Salmon - An excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to help the heart. Salmon is also low in saturated fat and cholesterol and is a good source of protein.
