Knowing what foods to choose and how to prepare them   doesn&#8217;t have to be hard. There are many nourishing foods you can simply   add to your diet, without a lot of preparation time to keep you in good  shape.   Below are just ten foods,  including their health benefits,  that my family and I enjoy frequently.  Combining   groups of whole foods containing antioxidants, healthy fats, proteins,   complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fiber will give you the   most nutritional value and help you maintain energy, regulate your metabolism and work together to fight diseases.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPqINul8FI\/AAAAAAAAAAc\/Mkqd-ihUmjs\/s1600\/blueberries.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504500596421816402\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPqINul8FI\/AAAAAAAAAAc\/Mkqd-ihUmjs\/s320\/blueberries.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPrch-tSpI\/AAAAAAAAAAk\/oUkYS5LVlwc\/s1600\/tomatoes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504502044967127698\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPrch-tSpI\/AAAAAAAAAAk\/oUkYS5LVlwc\/s320\/tomatoes.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPsv0mdDsI\/AAAAAAAAAAs\/p7EK8QQlLeg\/s1600\/nuts.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504503475894816450\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPsv0mdDsI\/AAAAAAAAAAs\/p7EK8QQlLeg\/s320\/nuts.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPtFmPDKkI\/AAAAAAAAAA0\/vjzpn_vTrKM\/s1600\/spinach.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504503849995676226\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_ToIr6iH70fg\/TGPtFmPDKkI\/AAAAAAAAAA0\/vjzpn_vTrKM\/s320\/spinach.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"115\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Egg whites<\/strong>: lean   and easily absorbed,  low fat protein that is inexpensive and easy to   prepare in a variety of ways. The yolk contains saturated fat and   cholesterol, so eat the yolk in moderation. Combine them with some   veggies and cheese for a tasty omlette.  Add some whole grain toast and   orange juice for a delicious well balanced meal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oatmeal:<\/strong> lowers   cholesterol and good source of whole grain.  Quick Oats, Old Fashioned   Oats, or steel cut are the best choices with no sugar added. To get   protein with your oatmeal, you could use a <a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/WheyProtein?referringRepId=46500\">vanilla whey protein powder<\/a>(18   g of protein), mix it with milk and pour it on top of your oatmeal.    Add some fresh fruit and you have a complete meal with your grain,   dairy, fruit, and protein.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinoa<\/strong>: healthiest   whole grain complex carbohydrate with all nine essential amino acids,   high in fiber, protein, magnesium and iron . It is gluten free, digests   easily and tastes great with some seasoning.  Use as a side dish or  add  some to your salads. Provides variety to a meal instead of whole  grain  pasta, couscous or brown rice which are also great nutritious  options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Salmon<\/strong>: high  in  Omega 3 fatty acids which helps reduce heart disease, blood  pressure,  arthritis, some types of cancer, and risk for diabetes.   Salmon can  improve circulation and slow down cognitive problems such as   Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. With its vitamin D content, it can improve your   mood which leads to less depression and aggression. For a quick and   simple recipe, put some extra virgin olive oil on salmon fillets with   lemon\/pepper, garlic, onion and dill seasonings and grill or marinate in   low sodium Teriyaki sauce with some garlic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nuts<\/strong>(almonds, walnuts, pecans, brazil nuts): high   levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and  healthy  Omega 3 fats which reduce risk of heart disease and Type 2  diabetes.   They are great for your heart and brain and keep you  satisfied longer  which means you are less prone to overeat. Great for a  quick snack or  mixed in with some whole grain cereals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blueberries:<\/strong> powerful   antioxidant high in vitamin C which promotes a healthy immune system.   Blueberries are low in fat and sugar, high in fiber, and help lower   blood pressure, protect nervous systems, and prevent cancer and memory   loss. Eat them plain or add them to your cereal, yogurt or smoothies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broccoli:<\/strong> valuable   source of most essential nutrients. Contains vitamins A, C and many B   vitamins, folic acid, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and some Omega 3.   With so many nutrients, broccoli has strong anti-cancer properties,   prevents common cold symptoms, and helps prevent stomach problems. Steam   it in some chicken broth for extra flavor and season with some garlic   powder and a little butter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomatoes:<\/strong> most   well known benefit is its high level of lycopene. Lycopene is an   antioxidant that reduces the risk for several types of cancers, heart   disease, high cholesterol and other health complications and diseases.   My sons eat the grape tomatoes like candy right out of the package! Toss   them in your salads, roast them with some extra virgin olive oil, salt   and pepper, sautee them with other veggies and seasonings to put over   your pasta, drink a V8, use them for your homemade pasta or pizza   sauce&#8230;the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spinach<\/strong>: one   of the most beneficial and healthy vegetables. It is best to eat fresh   which contains the most nutrients.  Contains vitamin A which helps   promote healthy eye strength, vitamin K helps prevent blood clotting,    and flavanoid is a powerful antioxidant preventing many diseases.    Spinach stabilizes blood sugar and reduces risk for osteoporosis. Mix it   with romaine in  salads, sautee with some garlic, olive oil, and   nutmeg, use instead of lettuce on your sandwiches,  add to your pasta   dishes and homemade pizza.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yogurt<\/strong>:  offers   best health benefits if it contains live, active bacteria (probiotic).   Helps improve  digestion, immune function, high blood pressure and   prevents osteoporosis. Since yogurt contains milk, it provides calcium,   protein, potassium, vitamin D, B and several other nutrients. Greek   yogurt is best because its ingredients are all natural. Many yogurts   have added sugar. When reading the ingredient label, stay clear if you   see sugar, sucrose or high fructose corn syrup in the first three   ingredients. Beware of the yogurts containing fruit, because that adds   more sugar.  It&#8217;s easily portable and can be enjoyed in smoothies, like <a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/Shakeology?referringRepId=46500\">Shakeology<\/a> with fresh fruit for breakfast, a quick snack or lunch.  Try it frozen for a cool delicious treat.<\/p>\n<p>These   are just some food choices our family consumes often for our  wellbeing.  You may already be eating some. Try adding new ones to your  daily  regimen, add them in gradually and see how you feel. To ensure  you are  getting your daily nutrient requirements, try the<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/teambeachbody.com\/shop\/-\/shopping\/CoreNutritionPk?referringRepId=46500\">Core Nutrition Pack <\/a>vitamins   containing Omega-3s, calcium, magnesium and a multivitamin in a  body   toning or metabolism boosting variety. Remember to drink water   regularly, and find a way to stay active. You should be drinking 64 oz   (8 glasses) of water each day to eliminate impurities naturally, keep   you feeling fuller between meals, and prevent headaches caused from   dehydration.
