#55 - The Healthiest Foods For Your Body
Hello steemit! I'm going to share the healthiest foods for your body.
LEMON
Just one lemon has more than 100 percent of your daily intake of vitamin C, which may help increase "good" HDL cholesterol levels and strengthen bones.
Citrus flavonoids found in lemons may help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and act as an anti-inflammatory.
Lemon health benefits include improving vitamin C levels, decreasing blood cholesterol, alkalizing body pH, boosting liver function, boosting metabolism, boosting gallbladder function, helping digestion, treating acne, decreasing digestive irritation, relieving symptoms associated with pathogenic bacteria, helping prevent internal haemorrhage, improving eye health, and improving cancer treatment.
Tip: Add a slice of lemon to your green tea. One study found that citrus increases your body's ability to absorb the antioxidants in the tea by about 80 percent.
BROCCOLI
One medium stalk of broccoli contains more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin K requirement and almost 200 percent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C — two essential bone-building nutrients.
The same serving also helps stave off numerous cancers.
Broccoli health benefits include reducing cholesterol level, supporting eye health, boosting detoxification of waste, boosting immune resistance, treating constipation, controlling blood pressure, facilitating healthy pregnancy, promoting bone health, safeguarding your stomach, reducing progression of arthritis, improving respiratory health, boosting libido and preventing cancer.
Tip: Zap it! Preserve up to 90 percent of broccoli's vitamin C by microwaving. (Steaming or boiling holds on to just 66 percent of the nutrient.)
SALMON
A great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to a reduced risk of depression, heart disease, and cancer.
A 3-ounce serving contains almost 50 percent of your daily dose of niacin, which may protect against Alzheimer's disease and memory loss.
Salmon health benefits include reducing the risk of depression, promoting the health of the circulatory system, improving eyesight, boosting skin health, boosting immunity, promoting muscle building, promoting weight loss, promoting bone health, supporting joint health, promoting longevity and reducing the risk of cancer.
Tip: Opt for wild over farm-raised, which contains 16 times as much toxic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) as wild salmon.
These are the foods that I and my partner take for our daily foods. My partner will drink lemon water everyday. I put 2 slices of lemon into a 500ml water bottles. Broccoli is our main vegetables most of the time and salmon is our meat for dinner too. We both love broccoli and salmon. Low carb and healthy foods.
