Beans

As much as we have a love/hate relationship with beans, it is no secret that they are extremely good for your body. Beans are loaded with vitamins, fibres, and plant polyphenols that have protective benefits.  These plant polyphenols are extremely good for your heart. Also, beans are the excellent choice for soluble fiber which helps to lower the levels of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) also called the bad cholesterol.

Nuts

Studies shows that people who consumed various types of nuts had lower chances of being vulnerable to cancer, health issues or respiratory problems. Nuts are high in mono-saturated fat, which again are excellent to lower the LDL levels. But make sure that you are not allergic to any of them before you start including them in your diet.

Chocolates

Yes, you can start your dance party. Studies have found that chocolate are actually good for your health.
