Two Healthy Foods

Canned pumpkin: Not to be confused with pumpkin pie mix, canned pumpkin is a great source of fiber, low in calories, high in carotenoids - plant nutrients that help protect your health. Mix a tablespoon or two into tomato or bean-based soups for a creamier consistency or use it to punch up some plain, low-fat yogurt.

Honey: This natural sweetener contains powerful antioxidants and has antibacterial properties. Spread honey instead of butter on your morning toast or use it in meat marinades.
