Avocado

Beautifully green and deliciously creamy: the avocado. This exotic fruit is rich in oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid that helps lower the levels of unhealthy LDL cholesterol in your blood. Avocados provide a lot of energy with 350 calories each. Do you watch the kilos? Eat at most half or quarter avocado at a time. Turkey English swear by turkey roast at Christmas, which is a good habit. Just like chicken, turkey offers a sustainable alternative to red meat, such as steak or pork roulade. Turkey is high in protein and relatively low in energy and saturated fat. This will please both heart and blood vessels and the scales.

Salsify
-
Salsify are sometimes called winter asparagus because of their refined taste. These roots are rich in fiber (inulin) and therefore good for bowel movements.
Blueberries
-
Complement a festive dessert. They owe their color to the substance anthocyanin, which acts as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect our tissues and organs against harmful substances and thus help prevent various diseases. The berries also contain plenty of fiber and vitamin C.
Almonds
-
These are the seeds of a fruit, but are so similar to nuts that they belong to the latter group. Almonds provide iron, vitamins E and B1 and contain unsaturated fat. Eating unsalted almonds and other nuts protects against cardiovascular disease and lowers the levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol in the blood.
Passion fruit
-
This exotic fruit is full of vitamins and minerals. For example, beta carotene, a precursor to vitamin A that is involved in the immune system and may act as an antioxidant. Passion fruit is a fresh seasoning in water ice, mousses and flavored waters. The fruit provides little energy with 8 calories each. Passion fruit is also called maracuja or granadilla.
Pomegranate seeds
-
The pomegranate originally from Iran is actually not an apple, but a berry. The crisp, crunchy seeds are packed with vitamin C and polyphenols, which act as antioxidants. They thus contribute to a strong immune system and offer protection against cardiovascular diseases, among other things.
Fresh figs
-
Many people eat them dried, but fresh they are just as tasty. Figs are rich in fiber and therefore good for bowel movements. The fruits also contain plenty of beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), vitamin B and various minerals. This article was previously published in Plus Magazine December 2018.
