Oatmeal

Eating oatmeal can do wonders to your body. It's high in fiber, low in fat, and low in calories. In addition, consuming oatmeal helps prevent heart disease by lowering your bad cholesterol (LDL) and increasing your good cholesterol (HDL). Oatmeal's also great because it's a meal in which you can customize and be as creative as you want. You can top it off with fruit, nuts, or berries for some added flavor and nutrients.

Yogurt

Throughout the years yogurt has been sky-rocketing in popularity. This calcium-rich food keeps your bones staying super strong and helps fight off any infections by increasing your immune system.

Another added benefit is the live bacteria in yogurt. These good bacteria help to keep your intestinal tract functioning at its optimal level. Now you don't need to go out and buy the yogurt with high fat or extra fat content. You'll get the same benefits with the low-fat or non-fat versions. Just like oatmeal you can also add fruits, nuts, berries, or high fiber cereals to give your yogurt an extra kick in nutritional value and flavor.

Spinach

Have you ever watched Popeye? If you have, then you know what happens when he gets his spinach fix. His muscles pop out and he gets this great big burst of energy and ends up beating the crap out of the guy.

My point is not to eat spinach and beat the crap out of people but that spinach holds many nutrients that will give you that extra boost of energy.

Spinach is a vegetable that's packed with vitamins, minerals and super healing powers. On top of that it's a great source for antioxidants, and folic acid that will help protect you from many diseases. Research has also shown that spinach may lower your risk of strokes, colon cancer, cataracts, heart disease, osteoporosis, hip fractures, memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and even birth defects.

Canned Salmon, Tuna, or Sardines

A big thing hitting the media now-a-days is heart health. Salmon, tuna, and sardines are three fishes that are loaded with essential, heart-healing, inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids. Getting these fish into your daily eating plan is pretty easy. You can just add them to a fresh tossed salad; add them into a sandwich or as a snack on some healthy crackers.

It's important that we eat plenty of different fruits and vegetables every day. Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other substances that are important for good health. Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories and are filling.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, a healthy diet as one that Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products; includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars. But just what minerals and nutrients are vital to our health and well-being? Consider these nutrient-dense foods when you're looking to improve your vitamin and mineral intake.
Juice can actually be considered a natural water source and provides the body with protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that can be absorbed quickly and efficiently. Fresh juice also contains necessary enzymes, and pigments such as carotenes, chlorophyll, and flavonoids.
Dr. William Howard Hay introduced food combining in 1911. After 16 yrs medical practice his own health began to deteriorate, and he developed high blood pressure, Brights disease (now more commonly known as acute or chronic nephritis, a kidney disease) and a dilated heart. There being no treatment available for dilated heart at the time, Dr. Hay was inspired to treat his own symptoms. His basic premise is that there is one underlying cause for health problems and that is the wrong chemical condition in the body.
Most milk is mucous forming. When a cold develops or pneumonia sets in, the last thing offered should be a milk product due to the mucous in it. Soy is still milk, even though it is called a "vegetable milk." Children under two years of age are being advised not to drink cow's milk due to the high protein in it. Yet soy milk is high protein also, and is seriously being promoted for children today, especially those who have had milk allergies. The soy milk is curdled and hung in a cheese cloth, this forms a sold curd which is called tofu or soy cheese. Processed soy products is the most mucous forming food on the planet!
A diet is considered a raw food diet if it consists of at least 75 per cent raw, uncooked fruits, vegetables, sprouts, etc. Raw and living foods are believed to contain essential food enzymes (living foods contain a higher enzyme content than cooked foods). The cooking process (i.e., heating foods above 116 degrees F) is thought to destroy food enzymes.
Eating raw foods is a way to give your body some of the nutrition it desperately needs. Many of us are at least slightly overweight, and even the morbidly obese are starving for essential proteins and amino acids. All the processed, cooked foods we eat give us only a small percentage of what we need.
