5. Nuts
Make room on the cheese board for a mixed assortment, because nuts of all varieties are known to rid body fat and lengthen your life. A prospective trial published in the British Journal of Nutrition even associated nut consumption with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and overall mortality.
6. Ghee
Of course, you’ve heard a drizzle of olive oil has major health benefits, but there are plenty of other oil options out there you can use, too. You don’t want to heat an oil you’re cooking with beyond its smoke point, so next time you’re in the kitchen whipping up a stir-fry, consider using ghee as your oil of choice. Basically just clarified butter, it has a much higher smoke point—making it a great choice for hot dishes.
