TURBO CHARGE YOUR BODY WITH THESE TOP 10 SUPER FOODS:
Keep yourself in tiptop shape and fight off Father Time with 10
superfoods
recommended by leading experts.
Sports nutritionists and physicians have their
lists of favorite
foods for keeping the body active and in top condition.
These are the miracle foods found most often on
those lists, in
order of importance:
1. WATER - Lots of water allows your body to operate at its peak,
especially during exercise. "It's extremely important for you to
replace fluid lost during vigorous exercise." says
Dr Isadore Rosenfeld, author of Doctor, What Should I Eat?
(Warner Publisher).In addition, when your body gets enough water,
it can make the best use of the nutrients found in the other
superfoods.
2. WHOLE GRAINS - They're high in B vitamins and vitamin E, and
also help control blood sugar.
3. SWEET POTATOES - Naturally high in carbohydrates, they're
loaded with beta carotene and other cancer-fighting substances
called antioxidants.
4. BEANS - High in protein and carbohydrates but low in fat,
beans are also great sources of fiber and iron.
5. TOMATOES - They're high in vitamin A, but the big news is
their high lycopene content. Researchers are discovering that
LYCOPENE, and antioxidant, may fight cancer, particularly prostate
cancer.
6. SKIM MILK AND YOGURT - Milk is a great source of calcium, which
helps keep bones strong. Yogurt is an alternative for anyone
who can't tolerate the lactose in milk. Drinking skim milk and
yogurt made from it also eliminates the fat found in whole,
2 percent and 1 percent milk.
7. ORANGES - Loaded with vitamin C and folic acid, oranges also help
build healthy bones because they make it easier for the body to absorb
calcium.
Eating whole oranges, not just drinking the juice,
adds fiber to your diet.
8. LEAN RED MEATS AND DARK-MEAT POULTRY - Although many athletes
opt for fish because of its high protein content, both lean
red meats - anything labeled "loin" or "round" and dark-meat
poultry are excellent sources of protein. They're also full of iron
and zinc, yet don't add too much fat to your diet.
9. BROCCOLI - Just one cup provides 90 percent of the recommended
daily allowance of vitamin A and twice the RDA of vitamin C. Plus,
broccoli is rich in fiber and potassium.
10. BANANAS - With only about 105 calories each, bananas pack a
wallop of a nutrition punch. They contain carbohydrates and potassium,
which enhance a regular heartbeat and muscle contraction. Loss of
potassium during exercise "can cause muscle weakness and potentially
fatal cardiac rhythms", explains Dr. Rosenfeld, "so anyone performing
vigorous exercise should have extra potassium".
