1. Blueberries: 'Antioxidant' seems to be the new buzzword of this decade. Everyone needs more antioxidants. Everyone wants more antioxidants. Everyone buys foods with antioxidants; but do we know what they are?
Oxidation is a chemical process within your body whereby electrons are taken off a substance via a chemical reaction. When your body undergoes oxidative stress, such as when you're sick, have a disease or after a workout, the product from this oxidation is known as a 'free radical'. Good thing we have antioxidants like blueberries.
Free radicals will build up in your body if you don't remove them and they begin to damage cells that you need. This will lead to inhibited muscle growth, disease and sometimes fat loss. Blueberries can stop this oxidation process and build up free radicals.
2. Almonds: Almonds are truly one of nature's miracle foods. They provide the most healthy calories and nutrition for the smallest serving size. You get the most nutrition possible out of the calories you eat. One serving of almonds, or about a handful, is an excellent source of vitamin E and a good source of fiber (which helps keep you full) and offer heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
3. Whey Protein: Whey protein (the highest quality and best form of protein) is incredible stuff. It provides the body with the necessary building blocks to produce amino acids that are used for building muscle tissue. Whey protein also plays a role as an antioxidant and helps support a healthy immune system. Most importantly, consistent whey protein intake coupled with exercise will result in consistent muscle building and potential fat loss.
4. Salmon: Everyone feels that Salmon is high in calories, which is true but its low in saturated fat. It is an excellent source of protein and a unique type of "good" fat called omega-3. It's an essential fatty acid that is found in salmon which is extremely beneficial to your cardiovascular system. Omega-3 is a health-promoting fat that will help to prevent erratic heart rhythms. This will assist to avoid blood clots within the arteries and improve the ratio of good cholesterol to offset the bad cholesterol that is known to clog the arteries. This will help to prevent any clog to your arteries.
5. Spinach: A jade green in color, leafy vegetable such as spinach can provide more nutrients than most other foods. Protect yourself against osteoporosis, colon cancer, arthritis, and other diseases by eating lots of spinach. Spinach is also known for benefiting your mental state too.
6. Water: Almost 2/3rds of our body weight is "water weight". Blood is 83% water. Muscles are 75% water, the brain is 74% water, and bone is 22% water. So what do you think happens when we aren't adequately hydrated? Our bodily processes can't function optimally. We're depriving them of an essential nutrient.
Eating all of these foods in your daily eating plan will help you to feel more energized and keep you living longer. There aren't many foods that we can eat that will keep you as fit and healthy as these six foods. - 17268
