Eating well doesn't have to be a chore! There's so many flavors and foods in the world and you should make a point to try to experience as many of them as you can. Sure, these five are common, but they're often overlooked. Each makes a wonderful addition to a healthy diet!

Broccoli
Aside from being exceptionally high in vitamins K and C, broccoli has been proven to help in the prevention of a number of cancers. It's also a great detoxifier, and can lower cholesterol.

Salmon
This delicious fish is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for heart health. Salmon is also high in niacin, which studies have shown can help against memory loss and Alzheimer's. Wild salmon is a healther choice than farm-raised, so it's important to know the provenance of your fish.

Pumpkin Seeds
The seeds are easily the most nutritious part of the pumpkin, loaded with magnesium. They are also beneficial to prostate and bone health, and can also lower your cholesterol. Whether snacking on roasted pumpkins seeds or adding a few to a salad, they make a great addition to your diet.

Garlic
There's a reason why garlic has been a medicinal ingredient for thousands of years. It has proven antimicrobial effects, and helps lower the risk of heart disease. It also contains a high number of antioxidants, and can strengthen your immune system when included in your diet.

Avocados
This rich and delicious veggie is great for helping cholesterol and also works to regulate blood sugar. Make sure to peel it carefully, as a greater concentration of nutrients is in the dark flesh just beneath the skin.
