Amid the high prices of many food commodities, some people need useful low-priced foods to get the important nutrients that the body needs daily at the same time, and may resort to eating carbohydrates and starches to get full only without paying attention to the necessary vitamins and minerals available in cheap foods.
“Consulto” reviews some foods whose price does not exceed 10 pounds, and they contain a lot of minerals and vitamins, according to the “Health line” website.
1- green leafy vegetables
Leafy vegetables contain a large amount of nutrients such as iron, vitamin C and vitamin B12, and include watercress, lettuce, spinach, parsley, etc., and contribute to the prevention of anemia and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular problems.
2- legumes
Legumes of all kinds, such as corn, lentils, beans, wheat and chickpeas, contain an abundant amount of vitamins, minerals and natural fibers that give a feeling of satiety for as long as possible, in addition to complex carbohydrates that help reduce the feeling of hunger and the need to gain more calories and gain weight.
3- Yogurt
Yogurt is a dairy product that is useful in promoting a healthy stomach and nourishing beneficial gut bacteria. It is also high in calcium, healthy fats, magnesium, protein, vitamin B12, and others.
4- Pieces of cottage cheese
Just one 200g serving has the right amount of protein, phosphorous, selenium, calcium, vitamin B12 and folic acid, and is a healthy meal for all ages and groups, especially for those looking to lose weight.
5- eggs
You can eat only one egg per day, as eggs are a rich source of natural multivitamins and minerals, as they contain iron, phosphorous, zinc, selenium, antioxidants and proteins.
6- Citrus
Citrus foods such as lemons, tomatoes, and peppers contain vitamin C, which boosts the immune system and helps treat iron deficiency anemia, along with many important minerals.
