If you have ever heard “you are what you eat,” you may be surprised to learn just how true that phrase is. Your diet can determine a huge variety of factors in your life, from your mental alertness and energy level to your body’s ability to ward off disease. Eating a diet of natural, unprocessed foods rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids is critical to your sense of well-being, and is the foundation for a long, healthy life.

So, if you’re looking to add more nutritious food to your diet, what should you be eating to give you the best results? While you should always consult with your physician before making any drastic changes to your diet, here are a few highly nutritious foods that you can keep right in your Alachua apartment at One 51 Place:
