Cinnamon—Can help prevent diabetes! According to the Human Nutrition Research Center, patients that were given 1/2 teaspoon per day for 40 days had fewer signs of free radicals (molecules that damage cells and have been linked to Type 2 diabetes).
Walnuts—Good for your arteries! Walnuts contain an amino acid that preserves elasticity in arteries, which help blood vessels expand. Still, don’t overdo it if you are trying to lose weight since nuts are high in fat. A handful a day should be plenty to reap the health benefits.
Berries—Excellent brain food! Berries are a wonderful source of antioxidants. Try some on your morning bowl of cereal!
