Better Your Health
Take a look at the 12
foods listed below. How many do you eat regularly?
There are 12 foods that, if eaten on a
regular basis, do wonders for your health. Do you know what
they are?
If you're reading this than you already have some knowledge
of how important good nutrition is. I'm a big advocate of
"you are what you eat." Meaning, what you put in your body
largely determines what you look like on the outside.
And if you make a serious effort to improve your eating
habits, you will notice a positive change in how you look
and feel. It's not about perfection though. Thrive to make
small changes to your diet over time and you'll eventually
be amazed at the will power you develop.
There are 12 foods that you should be eating on a regular
basis. All have their own unique health benefits and if you
mold your diet around the majority of these foods, you'll
notice an improvement in your health.
The list is as follows:
1. Almonds and other nuts - a great source of good
fat.
2. Beans and legumes- a great source of fiber and
protein.
3. Spinach and other green vegetables- a great source
of phytonutrients and antioxidants.
4. Low-fat dairy- a great source of calcium and
protein.
5. Oatmeal- a great source of fiber and protein.
6. Eggs- a great source of vitamin E and protein.
7. Turkey and other lean meats- a great source of
protein.
8. Natural peanut butter- yes, this can be included
under #1, but natural peanut butter makes eating
nuts easier because you can spread it on wheat bread,
bananas, celery, etc.
9. Olive oil- a great source of good fat.
10. Whole-grain breads and cereals- a great source of fiber.
11. Extra protein- a great source of protein!
12. Raspberries and other berries- a great source of
antioxidants.
All 12 foods above have a high nutritional value and should
be incorporated into your daily snacks and meals.
I personally bring the list with me food shopping and you
might want to consider doing the same.
