Third, salmon contains an abundance of omega 3s, which can lower the risk of heart disease, aid with arthritis, memory loss, and Alzheimer's. Eating 2-3 servings per week can also help lower cholesterol.

Other Ways to Improve Your Health

Further, eating a variety of snacks isn’t the only thing you can do to improve your health. For instance, you can drink more water, get moving, or plan time to “unplug” during the week.

Unplug from Technology

Not only has technology become intertwined with our daily lives, but also our social relationships. Plan to completely unplug from tech and screens once a week. 

Clear Clutter

"Cluttered spaces reflect a cluttered mind," says Dr. Sanam Hafeez, a physician based out of New York. Thus, she continues, "many of my patients [with anxiety, depression, or stress] report they feel better when they start clearing up their physical space."

Drink More Water

Surely by now you've heard to aim to drink 8 glasses of water a day. Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, promote healthy bowel movements, and can lead to clearer skin.

Exercise More

If you set an achievable exercise goal that you complete daily, you can ward off symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Consider setting a daily goal on your smartphone, so that you will see your accomplishments as you complete them.

In Conclusion

Ultimately, you may need to try a few different things to become more healthy. Consequently, because you are adding superfoods to your diet doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy chocolate once in a while. With this in mind, moderation is key.
