Health Febs: What is the healthiest food we can eat?

Are you one of the millions of people who need to make some changes to your daily diet? So many of us rush through out days, busy with careers, families and other demands and grab food to fight off hunger pangs without taking time to think through smarter, healthier food choices. Instead, we run to garages or grab something from a coffee shop without a second thought to whether we are nourishing our bodies or just filling up on calories. If you've realized it's time to make some serious changes in your diet, good for you! As you revise your food choices, keep in mind the following foods - they are some of the healthiest food choices you can make.

Fruits and Vegetables - the more we learn about fruits and vegetables, the more we realize the important nutritional benefits they provide to our bodies. Filled with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and antibiotic properties, certain fruits and vegetables pack such a nutritional wallop they are considered by experts to be the healthiest foods available. Make a daily habit of including these in your diet:

* Bananas - Bananas release their energy slowly into our bodies, helping us stay satisfied longer. They are loaded with potassium to help regulate blood pressure and prevent and relieve cramping muscles. What you may not realize about bananas is they also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which relaxes us. Bananas also provide fibre, which helps regulate our digestive system and keeps things moving smoothly through our intestines.

* Kiwi Fruit - another great source of potassium. These tiny fruits with the fuzzy peel are also filled with antioxidants and high in vitamin C. The Kiwi fruit is one of the most nutritious fruits we can eat.

* Broccoli - Your mother was right- eat your broccoli! Broccoli is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibre. It is associated with strong anti-cancer properties and improves our mood and our skin.

* Tomatoes - Tomatoes are rich in lycopene -which is a powerful antioxidant, blasting away the free radicals that damage our health and skin. While most vegetables lose some of their nutrients when they are cooked, the lycopene in tomatoes is actually increased during the cooking process.

Proteins - proteins are important for our bodies energy supply and many people get their protein supply from meat. There are non-meat protein sources, which can help avoid the cholesterol associated with red meat protein sources and these include:

* Almonds- In addition to being a great protein source, almonds are filled with bone-builders like calcium, magnesium, manganese and phosphorus. Fibre and Vitamin E contribute to the nutritional punch of these powerful little nuts.

* Beans - Beans are rich in complex carbohydrates, which provide long lasting energy to the body. They are protein rich and loaded with folic acid, copper, zinc, potassium and manganese. Adding beans to your daily diet can help lower your cholesterol by over 25 percent.

These food choices, when added to your daily diet plan, can help to raise nutrient levels in your body and as a result help keep you healthy, energetic and filled with vitality.
