1) Anti-Inflammatory Cherry-Spinach Smoothie This healthy smoothie is not only delicious—it also boosts your daily dose of anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds to the body, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals.

The Best No-Sugar-Added Apple Pie
This no-sugar-added apple pie gets its natural sweetness from antioxidant- and fiber-rich dates. Cider vinegar helps to enhance the flavor. We like Gala apples for their sweetness and crisp texture, but any sweet, firm apple will work well. If you like your apple pie on the tart side, add a Granny Smith to the mix. We use frozen pie crusts for the bottom and top of the pie. The dough should release easily from the tin for the top crust within about 10 minutes out of the freezer. If not, let it sit out a bit longer until it releases easily.

The 5 Best Fats to Help Lower Your Cholesterol, Approved by a Dietitian

This type of cholesterol could accumulate in arteries, increasing your risk for heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association. It’s important to note that, in the past, added trans fats were mainly found in processed foods, but the Food and Drug Administration has banned them. However, trans fats can still naturally be found in a few foods.
