  • Water helps remove waste from your body – a boon when consuming high-fiber foods.
  • Apple skins pack insoluble fiber, the kind that passes through your digestive system largely unchanged, promoting bowel regularity and, in essence, keeping your waistline trim.
  • Prunes deliver high amounts of soluble fiber, which has been shown to control blood sugar levels to provide a sense of fullness, which can help prevent you from overeating.
  • Natural peanut butter is a cholesterol-free and inexpensive protein source.
  • Just a tablespoon of ground cinnamon has the same amount of antioxidants as four ounces of grape juice.
  • Fresh ginger helps to relieve body aches.
  • Cardamom contains cineole, which lends its potent antiseptic properties to kill bad-breath bacteria in your mouth.
