I don’t know whether you want to call it coincidence but right after watching the inspiring Food Matters documentary I stumbled across two interesting lists of foods that are really good for you.
The first was written by Sara Ost who used to be a Healthbolt blogger until she moved on to become the editor of ecosalon, a place that’s all about living green. Sara wrote this article – Ignite Your Brainpower with the 20 Smartest Foods on Earth – highlighting foods that supercharge your brain.
…advocado, blueberries, wild salmon, nuts, seeds, coffee, oatmeal, beans, pomegranate, brown rice, tea, chocolate, oysters, olive oil, tuna, garlic, eggs, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, cacao nibs…
The second list – 25 Fat Melting Foods – can be found in the Aug/Sept edition of the Australian fitness magazine Oxygen. These are foods that either (1) fill you up with less calories, (2) have a thermogenic effect, or (3) have other properties that contribute to weight loss.
…ginger, hot chills, water, coffee, green tea, fat free milk, carrots, low-fat yoghurt, stock-based soup, oatmeal, brocolli, chilli with lean beef, grapefruit, fish, apples, trail mix, lean turkey or chicken, eggs, whole grain cereal, tofu, fat-melting shake, salad, cheese and crackers, whole grain bread, cinnamon…
Check these articles out if you can as they have lots of information as why these foods are good for not only your brain but also your waist.
And don’t forget…
