3. Chili Peppers
Say what? Yes, chili peppers have health benefits and no, eating cups of salsa is not the same. This magic food kick starts your metabolism, has been proven to help you stick with your diet and prevents weight gain! If you can take the heat, add these to your diet!
4. Ginger

5. Dark Chocolate
Cacao is good for you! Chocolate is healthy?! Well some is.
