Super fitness foods are packed with nutrients, are low in calories and easy to include in any diet.

Working out and eating healthy are important in any fitness program – proper nutrition and exercise go hand in hand, but adding a few key foods can help you to feel better and perform optimally.

Avocados

Some nutritionists recommend eating an avocado every day. High in oleic acid, avocados guard against breast and oral cancers while maintaining healthy eyesight. According to some studies, avocados can lower cholesterol by up to 17%. Best of all, the high antioxidant levels protect against free radicals that cause aging. If 322 calories per avocado is unmanageable, try eating one-half fruit instead.
