I'm talking about food, of course!
Can I eat this? Can I eat that? What should I eat? How much should I eat? People are obsessed with food.
Today I offer up a list of foods
that have been proven to help the body in a variety of ways. These foods can help to
shrink your waistline and keep you healthier throughout your life. They will help your body
increase lean muscle mass and will help prevent fat storage.
Additionally, different foods offer proven benefits including building muscle, promoting weight loss, strengthening the
bones, lowering blood pressure, fighting cancer, improving your immune system and
also fighting heart disease.
This is a list from SimplyShredded.com. Try to add two or three of the foods from this list to your breakfast, lunch and dinner and
throw one of them into each of your snacks.
• Almonds
• Whole
Grain Breads and Cereals
• Peanut,
Cashew or Almond Butter
• Turkey and Other Lean Meats
• Beans/Legumes
– chickpeas, pintos, soybeans
• Spinach and Green Veggies
• Dairy
Products - fat free milk, yogurt,
cottage cheese
• Instant
Oatmeal or Quick Oats
• Whey
Protein Powder (watch for sodium and sugar content)
• Eggs
• Olive
Oil
• Raspberries,
Apples, Grapefruit
This is
a very basic list of ideas for you to play with. Again, there are many health benefits from eating these types of
foods – they can fight against obesity, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis—the
list goes on and on. And it's important to remember that, as you vary
your workouts, you should also vary what and how you eat your foods. You don't have to settle for simple or
plain. It’s YOUR body – make what
you put into it and what you do for it exciting! In an effort to keep from getting bored eating the same
foods - boiled, steamed, lightly sautéed - try to vary the types you eat.
Put out
good energy into the world (and good food into your body) and you get it back!
