I found an article on Forbes (of all places) that discusses Healthy Foods. Why do people from other countries eat fatty, heavy carb or heavy protien food and still lilve healthier lives?
The French Paradox suggests that Resveratrol on wine is their answer. The Japanese Paradox questions the importance of Green Tea.
Jonny Bowden in "The Healthiest Foods on Earth" suggests, "Whole, real, unprocessed food is almost always healthy, regardless of how many grams of carbs, protein or fat it contains."
The Inuit have high fat diets while the Southern Africans eat high carb diets. All these people thrive "without the ravages of degenerative diseases that are so epidemic in modern life--heart disease, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporosis and cancer."
So, get your vegetables and eat natural, unprocessed and organic foods.
And when you have to take supplements, make sure they are in food form, rather than pill form. The so-called "Super Foods" are the way to get what you need.
Euforia has some of the best food sources known:
Pomegranate Juice "slows the progression of certain cancers. Other research shows it lowers blood pressure and may even act as a 'natural Viagra'. Studies show it can reduce blood pressure and plaque in the arteries. New research indicates it also slows the progression of tumors. Four to eight ounces a day is highly recommended."
Green Tea is "loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories" and contains "plant chemicals called catechins which have decided anti-cancer activity. It's now fairly established that green tea may help prevent the following types of cancers in humans: bladder, colon, esophagus, pancreas, rectum and stomach. If that's not enough, it also appears to help with weight control."
Blueberries "are phenomenally low in calories, high in fiber and loaded with plant compounds that improve memory and help fight cancer."
