Add These Foods to Your Diet This Spring

Spring is the perfect time of year to start incorporating fresh produce in your diet. With a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs to choose from, you can switch up a tried-and-true recipe, or perhaps try something new. They are full of powerful vitamins and antioxidants that will help you feel your best as you continue your weight loss journey.

Arugula

You should be adding arugula to all your salads this spring. This leafy green has a unique, peppery quality that instantly adds flavor to any dish– but on top of that, it is great for you. It is rich in vitamins A and K, fiber, and water, which helps detoxify your body, reduce inflammation, and keep you hydrated.

Asparagus

Asparagus is another vegetable that is jam-packed with vitamin K, which has been shown to help with blood clotting, heart, and bone health, as well as B vitamins, which are great for your cell health. It is also a great source of copper and selenium. Asparagus has an excellent crunch that makes it a perfect side dish to any meal.

Carrots

Beta-carotene converts to vitamin A in the body, which not only helps with eye health (we’ve all heard the saying that carrots are good for your eyes, after all!), but hair, skin, and nail health.  If that isn’t enough, the antioxidants in carrots are said to be cancer-fighting. Enjoy them as a snack or in a delicious medley of root vegetables.
