Buying these seven items weekly is my secret to staying healthy.

Im not trying to brag, but I am one of the healthiest people I know.

Well, my diet is a big part of it.

These are my favorites.

Garlic

I use fresh garlic in everything, so Im stocking up weekly.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

This Mediterranean Diet staple is my go-to healthy fat for cooking and finishing dishes.

I love the tins of spicy smoked salmon by Fishwife so much that I just eat them plain.

Oats

Whole grains like oats contain phenolic compounds, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
