Healthy Ways to Make Food Taste Better

Several chefs and even the American Diabetes Association recommend adding acidity to your food for boosted flavor. The organization Eat Right notes acids elevate and balance flavors in food. Add some vinegar or experiment with citrus juices like lemon or lime to give your meal some zest. Acids can be a low-calorie alternative to salad dressings, or they can be squeezed onto proteins for flavor with a heavy sauce, such as pairing lemon juice and salmon. An added benefit: one study found balsamic vinegar may help manage cholesterol.
