You are absolutely what you eat. As a man, do you know that
you can be eating healthy but not eating smart?
Before you get confused, here
are four important foods you must include in your diet in order to eat healthy
and eat smart!
Green tea: Drink 1-3 cups per day. From cancer prevention to weight loss to potentially slowing the development of Alzheimer’s, green tea has been shown to help fight almost every major medical ill. Hot or cold, there’s almost nothing better you can drink.
Eggs: Eat three to seven eggs per week. An egg a day
is okay. Here’s why: Eggs contain a heavy-hitting four grams of pure
muscle-building amino acids inside every shell, in addition to boasting some of
the highest naturally available doses around of a vitamin called choline, which
is thought to help enhance memory. They’re the gold standard in terms of
providing all the right nutrients for muscle growth.
Milk: Get
three servings of dairy per day. You know milk does a body good, but you may
not know that skipping dairy makes your body angry, sort of. When you’re not
getting enough, your body releases hormones that cause your cells to retain
calcium-and fat, says Michael Zemel, Ph.D., director of The Nutrition Institute
at the University of Tennessee. Calories still count, so you should drink your
milk by the glass rather than the gallon. But just make sure you get some.
Water: Drink
eight 8-oz glasses per day. You know you need to be drinking more water, and
for good reason. Water flushes toxins from your system, regulates body temp,
acts as an insulator for joints, prevents kidney stones, and supplies the body
with a raft of crucial minerals. Without water, none of the other super-foods
would matter.
Although water helps in every
way, it may be at its most powerful when it comes to weight loss. Drinking a
glass or two of water a half hour or so before mealtime, for example, can help
take the edge off your hunger.
