Ten "POWER FOODS"
By Cathryn Majorossy
Salmon - Salmon is an excellent source of protein and high
in Omega 3 fatty acids which help you body function optimally!
Spinach - Spinach is high in vitamins A and C as well as
folate. It's a good source of fiber and it may also help reduce the
risk of several diseases such as cancer and age-related macular
degeneration of the eye!
Almonds - You may already enjoy them in your cereal or as a
snack but you probably don't know just how good almonds are. Each
ounce of almonds contains a good amount of the antioxidant vitamin
E, 6 grams of protein and no cholesterol. Almonds are also an
excellent source of magnesium and offer calcium, fiber, the B
vitamin folate and phosphorus. Almonds also supply you with
monounsaturated fat- the "good" fat associated with decreased heart
disease risk.
Cranberries - Cranberries are high in cancer fighting
anti-oxidants, and have been used to treat bacterial infections
including kidney and urinary tract.
Wheat Germ - Wheat Germ is the “heart” of the
wheat kernel - a concentrated source of several essential nutrients
including Vitamin E, folate (folic acid), phosphorous, thiamin,
zinc and magnesium.
Beans - Beans give your body a boost providing a good source
of fiber, complex carbohydrates, and protein! Toss them in a salad
or with your favorite veggies!
Extra Lean Ground Beef - Lean beef is full of power packed
nutrients especially iron, protein & creatine.. all the muscle
building components you need!
Eggs - Eggs contains a wide array of necessary nutrients.
Egg protein is of such high quality that it is often used as the
standard by which other protein is measured. Egg protein contains
all the essential amino acids (building blocks of protein which the
body needs but cannot make) in a pattern that matches very closely
the pattern the body needs. An egg contains varying amounts of 13
vitamins plus many minerals. An egg yolk is one of the few foods
which contain vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin.
Tomatoes - Researchers have found that tomatoes and
tomato-based products can reduce your risk of cancer,
cardiovascular disease and several other chronic illnesses. The
lycopene contained in these products can be a useful tool for
people trying to stay healthy.
Oatmeal - Oatmeal is a good source of complex carbohydrates
providing your body with sustained energy and good fiber!
