Top 4 Foods Guaranteed To Give You a Burst of Energy

Top 4 Foods Guaranteed To Give You a Burst of Energy
Oatmeal

Eating oatmeal can do wonders to your body. It's high in
fiber, low in fat, and low in calories. In addition,
consuming oatmeal helps prevent heart disease by lowering
your bad cholesterol (LDL) and increasing your good
cholesterol (HDL). Oatmeal's also great because it's a
meal in which you can customize and be as creative as you
want. You can top it off with fruit, nuts, or berries for
some added flavor and nutrients.

Yogurt

Throughout the years yogurt has been sky-rocketing in
popularity. This calcium-rich food keeps your bones
staying super strong and helps fight off any infections by
increasing your immune system.

Another added benefit is the live bacteria in yogurt.
These good bacteria help to keep your intestinal tract
functioning at its optimal level. Now you don't need to go
out and buy the yogurt with high fat or extra fat content.
You'll get the same benefits with the low-fat or non-fat
versions. Just like oatmeal you can also add fruits, nuts,
berries, or high fiber cereals to give your yogurt an extra
kick in nutritional value and flavor.

Spinach

Have you ever watched Popeye? If you have, then you know
what happens when he gets his spinach fix. His muscles pop
out and he gets this great big burst of energy and ends up
beating the crap out of the guy.

My point is not to eat spinach and beat the crap out of
people but that spinach holds many nutrients that will give
you that extra boost of energy.

Spinach is a vegetable that's packed with vitamins,
minerals and super healing powers. On top of that it's a
great source for antioxidants, and folic acid that will
help protect you from many diseases. Research has also
shown that spinach may lower your risk of strokes, colon
cancer, cataracts, heart disease, osteoporosis, hip
fractures, memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, depression,
and even birth defects.

Canned Salmon, Tuna, or Sardines

A big thing hitting the media now-a-days is heart health.
Salmon, tuna, and sardines are three fishes that are loaded
with essential, heart-healing, inflammation-fighting
omega-3 fatty acids. Getting these fish into your daily
eating plan is pretty easy. You can just add them to a
fresh tossed salad; add them into a sandwich or as a snack
on some healthy crackers.
