Avoid five foods to get healthy body
Most of us do not eat enough of these foods either although they provide important protective nutrients. We must be what foods are good or bad for our heath.
1. Boost your metabolism
From
Health magazine
It’s true: Certain foods have a very high thermogenic effect, so you literally
scorch calories as you chew. Other eats contain nutrients and compounds
that stoke your metabolic fire. Feed your metabolism with these.
2. Whole grains
Your body burns twice as many calories breaking down whole foods
(especially those rich in fiber such as oatmeal and brown rice) than
processed foods
3. Lean meats
Protein has a high thermogenic effect: You burn about 30% of the
calories the food contains during digestion (so a 300-calorie chicken
breast requires about 90 calories to break it down).
4. Low-fat dairy products
Rich in calcium and vitamin D, these help preserve and build muscle mass—essential for maintaining a robust metabolism.
5. Lentils
One cup packs 35% of your daily iron needs—good news, since up to 20%
of us are iron- deficient. When you lack a nutrient, your metab slows
because the body’s not getting what it needs to work efficiently, says
