1. Blueberries: ‘Antioxidant’ seems to be the new buzzword of this decade. Everyone needs more antioxidants. Everyone wants more antioxidants. Everyone buys foods with antioxidants; but do we know what they are?

Oxidation is a chemical process within your body whereby electrons are taken off a substance via a chemical reaction. When your body undergoes oxidative stress, such as when you’re sick, have a disease or after a workout, the product from this oxidation is known as a ‘free radical’. Good thing we have antioxidants like blueberries.

When free radicals start to build up in your body because they’re not cleared, they start to damage cells which can lead to inhibited muscle growth, fat loss or even cause disease. Good thing we have antioxidants like blueberries! Antioxidants help prevent this oxidation from taking place, and thus prevents the build up of free radicals.

2. Almonds: These are known as a miracle food. They can provide you with the most healthy calories and nutrition from just one small serving size. A handful of almonds are an amazing source of vitamin – E, and a great source of fiber. Fiber will keep you feeling full longer. Almonds also offer you monounsaturated fat that will keep your heart healthy.

3. Whey Protein: Whey protein (the highest quality and best form of protein) is incredible stuff. It provides the body with the necessary building blocks to produce amino acids that are used for building muscle tissue. Whey protein also plays a role as an antioxidant and helps support a healthy immune system. Most importantly, consistent whey protein intake coupled with exercise will result in consistent muscle building and potential fat loss.

4. Salmon: Although it’s higher in calories than most whitefish, salmon is low in saturated fat, yet high in protein, and a unique type of health-promoting fat, the omega-3 essential fatty acid. The omega-3 fats found in salmon have a broad array of beneficial cardiovascular effects. Omega-3s help prevent erratic heart rhythms, make blood less likely to clot inside arteries, improve the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol, and can help prevent the clogging of arteries.

5. Spinach: A leafy jade green in-color vegetable that provides more nutrients than any other food. If you eat Spinach you can protect yourself against colon cancer osteoporosis, heart disease, and so many other diseases’, even arthritis. Physical benefits may not be a good enough reason to eat spinach, but the mental improvements are incredible.

6. Water: Water makes up nearly 2/3rd of our body weight. Most people don’t realize that blood is 84% water. Muscles are made up of about 75% in just water alone. Even our brains are made up of 75% of water. People would never believe that 22%of our bones are also made up of water. Knowing these facts, you can imagine what happens when we don’t keep our body well hydrated. Our bodies function optimally when we are fully hydrated, so it’s important not to deprive ourselves of water.

Eating all of these foods in your daily eating plan will help you to feel more energized and keep you living longer. There aren’t many foods that we can eat that will keep you as fit and healthy as these six foods.
