Foods You Thought Were Bad For You But Aren't

There is always a perception with certain foods that they are bad for you. 

In some cases, it is what you put on or mix the food with, is that is bad for you. Think about that healthy salad. The contents of the salad itself is good for you, but that fatty ranch dressing is not. Another example is black coffee. Coffee straight is really good for your metabolism. But what do you put in coffee? Can you say Cream and Sugar? Yikes. 

 Here are some foods you thought were bad for you but aren't: 

- Macadamia Nuts - A great source of trace minerals that are important for many functions including thyroid health and bone health including zinc, magnesium, calcium, chromium, and iron. 

- Egg Yolks - Contain nutrients like lutein that can help prevent macular degeneration, and also contains others like vitamins A, E, D and some brain-healthy fat too amongst other things. 

- White Potatoes - Contain about twice as much heart-healthy potassium, which helps to balance blood sugar and supple electrolytes to muscle, than sweet potatoes do, and they actually contain more fiber too. 

- Dark Chocolate - Contains heart-healthy flavonoids that may also help to prevent age-related memory loss. 

- Popcorn - Made from scratch! 

 There are also some honorable mention foods such as coconut oil and red meat that are good for you.
