Above about good food.
Many foods get overlooked that should be included in your daily diet. Foods like coconuts, cherries, blueberries and grass-fed beef all have very powerful health properties.
Many Americans are trying to follow food pyramid, which is a pyramid-shaped depiction of nutrition guidelines, updated every five years, that tells Americans what to eat according to food groups. Unfortunately it despises the fat group and explicitly points out how bad it is for your health. The problem with this is, the fat is a an essential building block for many important compounds in the body. There are different types of fat and it should be stated as such. Foods like grass-fed beef, wild salmon, coconuts, should be at the top of your foods to eat list.
Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with heart and brain health as well as bringing down blood pressure and triglycerides, a risk factor for heart disease.
Another food packed with nutritional value that’s is in every grocery store, is kale. A member of the cabbage family, kale contains indoles, a compound found to fight cancer. Kale is also rich in antioxidants, which also help prevent cancer.
Coconuts contain fat that is good for you. It’s called Medium-Chain Triglycerides. The body doesn’t store MCT as fat, but rather uses it as energy.
You should try and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, and lots of olive and nut oils. This might sound too healthy for you, but how about some dark chocolate? It is rich with a phytochemical called flavanol, found by a 2005 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology to improve cardiovascular health. Particularly chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content should be consumed daily 9in moderations of course).
Would you like to have some chocolate and coconut now? No problem, but first you should finish your rice and salmon!
