Why you'll love this
Eating chillies can have a very positive impact on people that are overweight or suffer from diabetes. The study carried out yielded that the normal eating of chillies can help significantly control insulin levels after eating a meal.
Black-eyed peas provide a good amount of iron per serving, which helps the body revive its red blood cell count and negate anemia.
Cilantro benefits your sleep cycle naturally and calms nerves, and can improve sleep quality through its natural sedative effects.
Carrots are such a good diet food because they are low in calories. A cup of raw carrot has only 50 calories. On the other hand, boiled carrots are slightly higher, with 54 calories per cup. Carrots can promote satiety and decrease calorie intake in subsequent meals.
Brown rice also contains protein. “Unlike refined grains, which are missing about 25 percent of the grain’s protein, and are greatly reduced in at least 17 key nutrients, whole grains like brown rice are much healthier,” said Kelly Toups, a registered dietician with the Whole Grains Council.
Mint is a great appetizer or palate cleanser. It also promotes digestion and soothes the stomach in case of indigestion or inflammation. When your stomach feels sick, drinking a cup of mint tea can give you relief.
