Five healthy foods you should eat :
1.Olive oil: The main benefit of olive oil is it lowers the BAD cholesterol and raises GOOD cholesterol it is also packed with antioxidants called phenols,which may protect artery from cholesterol build up .
Researchers even discovered recently that olive oil acts an anti-inflammatory,which further protects your heart,and rest of ur body too.
2.Green beans : Researchers found that women who increases their fiber intake generally lost weight while woman who decreased the fiber in their diets gain.The scientists boiled the findings into a single weight-loss formula :boosting fiber by 8gm for every 1000 calories consumed resulted in loosing about 4 and half pounds over the course of the study
3.Salmons:
The omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish—such as salmon
and tuna—can boost your skin’s defenses against UV damage. In a study published
earlier this year in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers found that those
who ate a little more than 5 ounces of omega-3-rich fish each week decreased
the development of precancerous skin lesions by almost 30 percent. Scientists
think the omega-3s act as a shield, protecting cell walls from free-radical
damage.
4. Blueberries:
Eating just under a cup of mixed berries (such as red
raspberries, strawberries, blueberries) daily for 8 weeks was associated with
increased levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and lowered blood pressure—two
positives when it comes to heart health—according to a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The
diverse range of polyphenols—health-promoting plant compounds that include
anthocyanins and ellagic acid—provided by the mix of berries is likely
responsible for the observed benefits.
5.
Watermelon:
Research
shows that eating foods that are full of water, such as watermelon, helps keep
you satisfied on fewer calories. (Interestingly enough, drinking water
alongside foods doesn’t have the safe effect.) At 92 percent water, watermelon
is a good source of vitamin C. When it’s the red variety (some are orange or
yellow), it also has lycopene, an antioxidant that may help protect against
heart disease and some types of cancer. Other foods that are made mostly of
water include cucumbers (95 percent), salad greens (90 percent) and
strawberries (91 percent).
