If you’ve ever been near a training gym or fitness expert, you are going to hear about how important healthy food and nutrition is to your life. The right food can help you gain traction towards your fitness goals, while the wrong food can stall progress.
While everyone has their list of healthy foods they enjoying eating, here are 4 we think you should try (if you not already).
Green Beans Baby
Green beans are a high-fiber food and can help in weight loss. Studies showed that those who increased their fiber intake lost weight quicker than those who deceased fiber intake. So maybe add green beans to your list. Others include raspberries, strawberries, and chickpeas.
Salmon
Salmon is known for its omega-3 fatty acids and can boost your skin’s defenses against UV damage. It’s also a great source of protein.
Blueberries
Blueberries have been proven to lower blood pressure and increase levels of good HDL cholesterol, which contribute to overall heart health (a big deal).
Watermelon
Do you know what watermelon is full of? You guessed it, water! Research shows that eating foods that are filled with water can keep you satisfied with fewer calories. Watermelon is 92% water, a good source of vitamin C, and also has lycopene, an antioxidant that can help protect against health disease.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a great source of Vitam-C, which has proven to lower the risk of wrinkled skin, age-related drying, and provide overall smoother skin.
Maybe these foods are already in your diet or maybe not. Either way, these are just a few of the benefits of these healthy foods. Now, not every reason was related back to fitness, but in truth we want every member to focus on the whole body, not just the weight loss and muscle gain. From your heart to your skin to your muscles, we want to see you healthy in every aspect of your body.
