If your New Year's resolution was about health, this is for YOU.
"U.S. News & World Report"just put out its annual ranking of the healthiest diets to try this year. And the same one sits at the top of the list for the eighth year running. Can you name it?
Here are the five they say are the healthiest diets overall.
1. The Mediterranean Diet: Limit sweets, processed foods, and red meat. Eat lots of fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, and healthy fats like chicken and fish.
2. The DASH Diet: It's designed to lower blood pressure. "DASH" stands for "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension."
3. The Flexitarian Diet: You're mostly a vegetarian, but sometimes eat meat.
4. The MIND Diet: It's a mash-up of Mediterranean and DASH, with a focus on brain health.
("MIND" stands for "Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.")
5. The Mayo Clinic Diet: A three-month program for weight loss. You eat balanced meals with smaller portions, and can't eat while watching TV.
The rest of their Top 10 are:
*TLC Diet
*The Menopause Diet
*Dr. Weil's Anti-Inflammatory Diet
*Volumetrics
*Cleveland Clinic Diet.
