The Top 5 Fittest Foods To Eat

If you have a choice about what to pick for a healthy food, then my guess is that you will want to start with one of these next five foods. I discovered this list in Men's Fitness. A great magazine that I read monthly. There is no doubt that if you want to start eating healthier, pile these foods on your plate.

1. Salmon - An excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. This means it helps prevent memory loss as you age and improves your heart health. This low-fat option helps burn calories and keep you from packing on unwanted pounds.

2. Blueberries - There was an article recently that said this fruit was an excellent cancer fighter. It has a bunch of antioxidants in it which help you prevent disease and acts as an anti-aging food. It is rich in fiber and also helps prevent memory loss. Throw it in a smoothie, on your cereal, or down your throat, get these berries as often as possible.

3. Oatmeal - When I create meal plans with our Metabolic Nutrition program, this is one of the very few breakfasts the software likes. Try to avoid the packaged oatmeal because it has added sugars in it, but get the instant oats and add your own sweetness to it i.e. blueberries or other fruits. Oatmeal helps get rid of the bad cholesterol and get you very heart healthy.

4. Tomatoes - Tomatoes have a nutrient in it called lycopene. Lycopene gives tomatoes its red color and is a powerful antioxidant that helps to prevent a lot of diseases, for men this includes prostate cancer. Studies have shown that men with a lot of tomato based foods in their diet are less likely to develop prostate problems. NICE!!

5. Broccoli - My mom repeatedly told me this when I was growing up, "Eat your broccoli, it is a cancer fighter." This is probably the best vegetable to choose because it helps your circulatory system, fighting colds, and your bones. Try sneaking it in your salads or some stir fry.

Rounding out the top 10 are spinach, yogurt, almonds, whole-wheat bread, and beef. So, start devouring some of these foods and see your immune system improve, unwanted fat drop off, and just feel overall OUTSTANDING!
