Beneficial Foods for Your Health

If you are a fan of coffee, energy drinks and high-calorie food, let’s change the habit to protect your health from diseases. This article will suggest some kinds of food that are beneficial for you like green tea, fresh fruit, quinoa, Greek yogurt and grass-fed beef.

 

 

Although fresh fruit often contains high percentage of sugar, it is high in water too, which makes the food relatively low in calories within its volume. Bright-colored fruits like strawberries, acai, watermelon and blueberries are among the most nutrient with loads of vitamins, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Besides, you can choose thin and permeable skinned fruits such as peaches and nectarines.

If you are coffee-drinkers, remember that moderating the amount of caffeine helps enhance concentration and increase circulation. Therefore, you should regularly drink some cups of fresh brewed tea to replace two or three cups of coffee per week or choose green tea as your drink in tea-breaks rather than a soda or any energy water.

Whole wheat breads, grains and pasta are good sources of complex carbohydrates, fiber (both soluble and insoluble) and B vitamins. Remember that the whole wheat brain foods are higher in protein than white ones.

Quinoa and soy are only two vegetarian sources that contain full protein including all the essential amino acids. You can use Quinoa as a substitute for rice or pasta in many dishes.

Greek yogurt is able to remove the liquid or whey to create a thick, creamy and tangy yogurt with its nutrition value higher in fat than American-style yogurt. Besides, it provides more protein but less added sugar (usually none). You can enjoy plain Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of honey or use it to replace high-fat foods like mayonnaise and sour cream.

Grass-fed beef, which is lower in saturated fat and omega-6 fats than grain-fed beef, seems to be very healthy because a recent Clinical Nutrition study shows that reducing the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids can provide great health benefits.

Beans and legumes naturally contain not only complex carbohydrates and fiber but also additionally high amounts of potassium and phosphorus, which are beneficial for heart and bone health respectively.
