The Best And Worst Foods For This Fall

3. Cauliflower

Like spaghetti squash, cauliflower is an incredibly versatile swap for carb-laden, starchy foods. Grated cauliflower can take the place of rice; mashed cauliflower can stand in for mashed potatoes; tiny florets can sub for noodles in mac-and-cheese. Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower have shown to possibly help reduce the risk of certain cancers, namely prostate cancer, due to their high antioxidant activity. High in fiber, these veggies can also help you stay full longer, leading you to consume few calories and, in turn, lose weight.
