Sure, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (a 3.5-ounce serving is more than your daily recommended value), which is essential for your immune system, eyes, and cellular health. But when it comes to calories and other nutrients like fiber, protein, magnesium, and vitamin B6, there is practically no difference between white and sweet potatoes. The only other difference is that white potatoes offer slightly more potassium, but not enough to claim that they're healthier either.

Tuna is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for the growth, repair, and maintenance of body tissues. A single serving of tuna packs in around 20-25 grams of protein, making it an ideal choice for those looking to build muscle or maintain a healthy weight. Additionally, the protein in tuna is complete, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids your body needs but cannot produce on its own.

Potassium is also a key mineral and a kind of electrolyte, which helps to keep your body working efficiently, particularly when it comes to your nerves and muscles. While bananas are practically synonymous with potassium, you can also look to a fresh and juicy watermelon to help increase your potassium intake.

Dr. Danielle Belardo routinely eats a whopping 90 grams of fiber a day, more than most Americans get in a working week. The general recommendation is for fiber to make up 14 grams of each 1,000 calories consumed, amounting to at least 25 grams a day. However, only 10% of Americans actually achieve this amount.

My favourite, and how it all started, was with Solkiki's excellent date bonbons: almond ganache in a date, surrounded by 66% Bolivian chocolate. When I'm eating chocolate dates for personal pleasure, the cocoa content needs to be high to counterbalance the tooth-jarring sweetness of dates, so these really did it for me.

Fill about half your plate with combinations of bananas, strawberries, blueberries, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots and more of your favorites. To boost variety with each meal, look for fruit and veggie blends or step out of your usual routine and try something new.

"I think there's a lot of comfort that comes from prescriptive approaches like aiming for two cups of beans a day - besides, it's so specific. However, the body will benefit from any increase in bean intake simply because they contain compounds that aid in heart health and digestion."

The study tested 65 different beers, revealing that Bock beer had the highest B6 content, followed by lagers, dark lagers, and wheat beers.

"I didn't understand why I had access to food and other children my age didn't, and that didn't make sense in my head at the time. Injustice was something that always shaped my path and I wanted to do something about that."

One cup of cooked cabbage contains roughly a gram and a half of fiber, whereas the same amount of cooked turnip greens has about 5 grams of fiber.

Some of them were on five or six KFCs a week. It was horrific. I whipped them into shape with a new pie recipe comprised of spinach and beetroot. Pies are traditional in soccer, so it wasn't about ramming it down their throats, but bringing them around to these new ingredients.

Living abroad drastically changed my eating habits. I lost 60 pounds the first year, with the support of an herbalist and other professionals, and have since shed an additional 40 pounds.
