Who said nutrition and delicious food could not go together? Here are some simple and easy foods that will build your nutrition reserve for a healthy life.

Antioxidants and vitamins

These anti-aging, immune-boosting buddies are very important for healthy blood and tissue. Antioxidants help fight off the free radicals which cause aging and damage to your health.

SOURCE – Start your morning with a hot cup of non-caffeinated green tea. Add a pinch of black pepper and turmeric with honey and lime to it. Stir and drink. Follow this with a bowl of fruit or steamed colored vegetables like carrots, beetroots, eggplant, lettuce.

Fiber and probiotics/prebiotics

The words “gut health” is the most important. Your gut is the deciding factor for all diseases. Fiber and probiotics/prebiotics will help you clean out years of junk that’s been there. Elimination regularly will allow for proper removal of waste from your body.

SOURCE – For biotics, there is Sauerkraut, buttermilk, prescription pills, and solutions. For fiber, eat your veggies and granola.

Omega 3

This is a healthy fat needed by each cell in our bodies to function optimally. As we age, the amount of this reduces leading to tissue degeneration.

SOURCE: spirulina supplements, delicious pink salmon.

Carbohydrates

You will mentally and emotionally feel so much better with daily carb-loading.

SOURCE- Brown rice, whole wheat bread. You need these energy blocks daily for the work you need to perform. Low carb diets are only for those who sit around all day.

Protein

This is the building block of your muscles that lose strength over time due to depleted protein reserve. As you get older, you have to increase your daily protein intake.

SOURCE- Meat, Soy, nuts.

Things to avoid at all costs.

Deep-fried, processed foods, sugar, and caffeine.

The occasional treat is ok. You got to live a little!
