There
are foods that we think are considered unhealthy if taken in large quantity.
However, based on research studies, they have found out that there are certain
foods that can provide us with health powers even if we ingested it beyond our
limitations. The following foods were approved by selected and qualified
researchers:
1.
PORK
CHOPS
-
Per
gram of protein, pork chops contain almost five times the selenium – an
essential mineral that is linked to lower risk of prostate cancer – or beef,
and twice that of chicken. And Purdue researchers in Indiana found that a
6-ounce serving daily helped people preserve their muscle while losing weight.
2.
ICEBERG
LETTUCE
-
Conventionally
wisdom suggests this salad staple is nutritionally bankrupt. Lettuce as it
turns out; half a head of iceberg lettuce has significantly more
alpha-carotene, a powerful disease-fighting antioxidant, than either romaine
lettuce or spinach.
3.
MUSHROOMS
-
These
fungi’s metabolites – by products created when mushrooms are broken down during
digestion – have been shown to boost immunity and prevent cancer growth, report
researchers in the Netherlands.
4.
VINEGAR
-
Scientists
in Sweden discovered that when people consumed two tablespoons of vinegar with
a high-carb meal, their blood sugar was 23 percent lower than when they skipped
the antioxidant-loaded liquid. They also felt fuller.
5.
RED-PEPPER
FLAKES
-
A
Dutch study found that consuming a gram of red-pepper flakes – about half a
teaspoon – 30 minutes prior to meal reduced calorie intake by 16 percent. Plus,
new research suggests its active ingredient, capsaicin, may help kill cancer
cells.
6.
FULL-EAT
CHEESE
-
This
dairy product is an excellent source of casein protein – one of best
muscle-building nutrients you can eat. What is more, Danish researchers found
that even when men ate 10 ounces of full-fat cheese daily for three weeks,
their LDL (“bad”) cholesterol did not budge.
