Nutritional Value of Foods
Apples: One fresh, crisp large apple provides about 5 grams of dietary fiber and is packed with antioxidants like quercetin that keep your whole body healthy.
Eat the peel to get the biggest nutritional bang.
I eat part of an apple or entire one for lunch.
Canned tomatoes: (not salt added) Canned tomato products are naturally richer than fresh ones in lycopene, a potent antioxidant that plays a key role in heart health, cancer prevention and more.
Oats: Oat bran and whole-oat products (like oatmeal) contain high levels of beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that can help stabilize blood sugar levels, lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
The Mayo Clinic Family Heath Book states Oatmeal is a food that lowers cholesterol.
Beans: Cooked dried beans are high in protein and fiber but low in fat, and they may protect against breast cancer and heart disease.
Dark Chocolate: Thanks to powerful antioxidants, eating a little bit each day may improve circulation and reduce blood pressure.
OTHER FOOD THAT CONTAIN ANTIOXIDANTS Broccoli: It's packed with vitamins A, C, K and beta-carotene, as well as possible cancer-fighting compounds like sulforaphane.
Broccoli is listed on the breast-examination information that you are given from the hospital when you have a mammogram.
I have been eating it regularly.
Avocados: Fat in avocados may be high, but it's mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind.
They're a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and lutein, which is beneficial for eye health.
Avocados contain a plant sterol (beta-sitosterol) that may help lower cholesterol levels.
Kale: Though this leafy green looks a little like spinach, it's actually more closely related to cabbage, and provides more nutritional value per calorie than nearly any other food.
It's rich in vitamin K (important for bone health and normal blood clotting) and beta-carotene(which protects your sight).
It also contains compounds that may reduce your risk of ovarian, breast and other types of cancers.
Raspberries: Loaded with potassium, vitamin C, fiber and protective antioxidants.
Rich in a compound called ellagic acid, which research suggests may play an important role in cancer prevention.
Iron: Also, with hair thinning per a beauty supply store, try taking a multivitamin that includes Iron.
I was told to use a product-shampoo and conditioner that helps clean hair follicles due to be clogged from shampoo and conditioners.
Thus allowing regrow of hair and saving of your hair.
Eating the above foods on a regular basis will provide protective antioxidants for your body to absorb during the course of a year.
Adding a variety of these foods in your diet will add to your health.
Also, you will not tire of any one food when eating a variety.
