Top 5 Foods You Should Eat Daily

Everyone has heard which foods to avoid, but what foods should we eat?

Oranges – Eating an orange is like taking a wonderful tasting vitamin. Oranges have folic acid, fiber, antioxidants beta-carotene, and vitamin C. On top of all this they also have anticancer effects.

Sweet Potatoes or Yams – The sweet potato ranked the highest in a nutrition study in 1992. The next highest vegetable was the regular potato with 84 points, while yams and sweet potatoes had 184 points. Impressive! Yams and sweet potatoes (no, they are not the same thing) have fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. Sweet potatoes can be eaten baked, or raw.

Cottage Cheese – Are you trying to lose weight? Do you have a stomach ache/bowel problem/digestion difficulty? Try cottage cheese! Casein, the slowest digested protein, is the protein found in cottage cheese. Cottage cheese has good bacteria which will keep your intestines healthy and smooth out digestion problems.

Chili Peppers – Chili peppers are full of capsaicin, an anti-inflammatory which improves circulation. Chili peppers purify your blood, fight ulcers, and prevent prostate cancer. This hot veggie will keep you in shape for a long time.

Carrots – Carrots improve your vision. This is because the beta-carotene in your body is converted to vitamin A with the help of carrots, and your eyes absorb this new vitamin A and make it into a night vision pigment. Carrots contain beta-carotene which improves your cells communication and can ultimately help prevent cancer cells from forming; beta-carotene also helps prevent skin diseases . Alpha-carotene is also found in abundance in carrots. Alpha-carotene helps prevent tumors.

Helping America Get Healthy

If you've ever looked at the food pyramid to get an idea of what to eat then you may have noticed how it may be difficult to really determine what to eat and how much. What about looking at the food pyramid and not knowing what you should eat that fits into these categories? Well thankfully there is a program that solves both of these problems. A program called MyPyramid can help you figure out how many calories you should be eating, how much of each food group you should be eating, and what types of meals fit into each food group.

This program will help you watch what you eat. You can even use the program to plan out a weeks worth of meals. You can definitely see if you're overeating in any food group or even under eating (vegetables). If the majority of people knew and used this type of program on a regular basis then maybe America wouldn't be suffering from such a large obesity problem.

With things like McDonald's it is really easy to give in to the temptation, especially when fast food restaurants are so convenient. However, people need to take things in moderation. I'm not going to say never have McDonald's (though it would probably help a lot), but don't eat McDonald's all the time. Maybe once a month, twice if you really crave it. This goes for all junk food not just fast food.

Next time you get a craving for a snack eat an apple instead of the chocolate bar. Apples still have sugars in them, but they're healthier then a chocolate bar. Use your will power to stay away from all the crap that is very available and heavily advertised. If you have any sort of sports hero, perhaps a fighter, a hockey player, or a basketball player, then try to remember this. These guys don't eat unhealthy foods. These are top athletes, many of them measure each meal or snack that they eat. Very rarely do you see a professional athlete eating at McDonald's Even when they do have the occasional Big Mac (Anderson Silva) they work their butt off to burn the calories. Most of us have desk jobs or a job that requires no to minimal physical endurance or strength when compared to some athletes.

Just try and be healthier, all America needs is some will power and a little helpful motivation to become healthy again.

5 Foods for your Brain

1. Water - Hydrate your brain by having sufficient water intake. Your brain is about 80% water and proper hydration will improve your ability to function and prevent headaches due to dehydration

2. Fish Oil - Fish contains high levels of Omega 3 which make up a lot of the gray matter in the brain. The fat in the brain plays a huge role in how our brains function, and the healthier the gray matter, the healthier the brain. Omega 3 is also said to affect your emotional balances making you feel happier.

3. Red Wine and Blueberries - You don't have to eat them together, but try to include one of them regularly in your diet. Red Wine and Blueberries contain antioxidants which rule out free-radicals from the body keeping it healthy. Research has also found that a regular intake of antioxidant rich foods can reduce the risk of developing cognitive impairment.

4. Munchies - Plan to eat healthy snacks throughout the day. This keeps the brain nourished and alert. But be careful and don't over-indulge. Small light snacks like veggies and dip or crackers and cheese are ideal.

5. Chocolate - This one is questionable, but it's true. Dark chocolate contains high levels of iron and is healthier for you than milk chocolate or white chocolate. It has even been known to improve memory!
