10 BEST FOODS FOR EASY WEIGHT LOSS
With the right choice of foods you can speed up your weight loss efforts dramatically. Rev up your calorie burn and curb your cravings with these super foods.

1. Broccoli: Broccoli (cooked or raw) is well known for its cancer preventing properties and is high in vitamin C which helps to absorb the calcium we eat. Studies show that calcium aids in weight loss. Not only that, broccoli is also rich in phytochemicals that significantly improve our immune system, and helps to protect against disease – all while being very low in calories!

2. Apples: Apples are low in calories and fat, low in sodium, and contain vitamins and minerals as well as fiber. A Penn State University conducted a study, which revealed, that people, who ate an apple before a meal, ate fewer calories overall than those, who ate a different kind of snack. The reason for this is in apple’s very high-fiber status, which fills you up (each apple has about 4 to 5 grams of fiber). The fiber helps you feel full longer because it expands in your stomach so it takes less food to satisfy your hunger.

3. Black beans: Black beans contain a lot of protein (15 grams per cup) and don’t contain saturated fat, which is present in red meat, for example. Beans are extremely good fat fighters because they contain optimal combination of »fat melting« nutrient (protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and a type of fat-burning carb called resistant starch).

4. Coffee: Coffee raises your resting metabolism rate by about 15%. This can last up to four hours and it can burn between 35 and 55 extra calories per day! That’s about 245 to 385 additional calories burned per week. The chlorogenic acids (certain types of antioxidants) are the main compound which slows down the production of new fat cells after a meal.

5. Low-fat Dairy: Low-fat daily is rich in nutrients, it has the essential calcium for fat burning and weight loss and it help to keep the digestive tract in good health. Research shows that those who have deficiencies in calcium hold a greater fat mass and experience less control of their appetite. What’s more, studies have found that dairy sources of calcium — like yogurt, low- or nonfat cheese, and milk — are markedly more effective in accelerating fat loss than other sources.In one study out of the University of Tennessee, researchers showed that eating three servings of dairy daily significantly reduced body fat in obese subjects. If they restricted calories a bit while continuing with the same dairy servings, it accelerated fat and weight loss.

6. Eggs: According to a research done by Rochester Center for Obesity in America consuming eggs for breakfast could help you limit the calorie intake by more than 400 calories throughout the day. One egg contains about 85 calories, but it makes you feel fuller for longer, so you’re next meal will likely be smaller. Eggs are also full of good nutrients like protein, zinc, iron and vitamins A, D, E and B12.

7. Grapefruit: This fruit alone, without changing anything in your diet, can help you lose up to a pound a week! You should try eating half a grapefruit before each meal. It will help you lower the insulin, which is a far-storage hormone, and that will lead to weight loss.

8. Cinnamon: Like grapefruit, cinnamon also helps to control your blood sugar and prevents a post-meal insulin spike, which triggers your body to store fat rather than burn it. Use ½ teaspoon each day to flavor your food, which will bring out the natural sweetness, rather than adding “empty-calorie” filled sugar.

9. Wine: Grape skin contains resveratrol which is a well-known antioxidant that stops fat storage. A glass of wine can also increase your metabolic rate for up to 90 minutes. A new Spanish study suggests that drinking about 9 ounces of Merlot or a low-alcohol red wine changed the mix of good and bad bacteria typically found in the colon in ways that can benefit your health. A balanced combination of these bacteria helps to digest food better and more efficiently.

10. Green Tea: Green tea is a great metabolism booster and is rich in antioxidants which are good fighting cancer and heart disease. A study showed that people who drank at least a two cups of green tea per day, for three months, lost more body fat than those, who drank regular tea (5.3 pounds vs. 2.9 pounds). They also experienced a considerably greater decrease in BMI (Body Mass Index), waist size, and total body fat.

10 BEST FOODS FOR FLAT ABS
Try these ab-flattening foods to boost your abs routine’s effectiveness, control belly bloat, and maintain a healthy metabolism.
1. Soy: Soybeans are rich in antioxidants, fiber and protein. Besides the very high protein content (36.5 g per 100 g or 3.5 oz), soybeans contain a lot of fiber and are rich in calcium and magnesium. When used as a substitute for meat, which it does well because of its protein profile, a serving of soybeans can save you fat, especially saturated fat. Snack on dry-roasted soybeans, toss shelled edamame into soups, and slip a spoonful of silken tofu into your morning smoothie. Liquid soy also makes a good meal replacement: A study from the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that overweight subjects who drank a soy milk-based meal replacement lost more weight than those who consumed a traditional dairy-based diet drink.
2. Salmon: Salmon is a protein source that also provides a good dose of healthy omega-3 fatty acids (this type of fat helps make your metabolism more efficient, according to “Fitness” magazine). Salmon may help boost your metabolism and keep you feeling full. An Australian study showed that overweight people who ate fish daily improved their glucose-insulin response. Translated, this means that seafood may help slow digestion and prevent cravings. If that doesn’t hook you, consider this: Seafood is an excellent source of abs-friendly protein. Eat about 4 oz. of salmon, twice a week, recommends “Fitness” magazine. If you don’t like fish, another option for getting omega-3 fatty acid is eating flaxseed and walnuts. Several recent studies have found that salmon contains small bioactive protein molecules (called bioactive peptides) that may provide special support for joint cartilage, insulin effectiveness, and control of inflammation in the digestive tract.
3. Quinoa: Pronounced KEEN-wah, this whole grain contains 5 grams of fiber and 11 grams of protein per half cup. Penn State researchers found that dieters who ate whole-grains lost twice as much belly fat as those who stuck to white-flour products—even though they’d consumed the same number of calories. Quinoa’s nutty flavor and crunchy-yet-chewy texture are like a cross between whole wheat couscous and short-grain brown rice. Quinoa is gluten-free, easy to prepare and extremely versatile. You can use quinoa anywhere you’d typically use rice. It’s great used in casseroles and stir fry, mixed with beans, or simply topped with tofu and vegetables. The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has officially declared that the year 2013 be recognized as “The International Year of the Quinoa.” It has now been singled out by the FAO as a food with “high nutritive value,” and impressive biodiversity.
4. Avocado: Blood sugar spikes signal your body to store fat around your midsection, while monounsaturated fats, found heavily in avocados, stop this. Salty food, like potato chips and fast foods, may cause bloating of your tummy, because your body will retain water in your midsection and accumulate it outside of cells. Avocado contains potassium, which helps bring the water back into the cells. Dieters who consumed monounsaturated fats lost more stomach bulge than those eating the same number of calories but less of the fats, a study in the journal Diabetes Care finds. And a study in the journal Obesity reveals that when monkeys ate trans fats, their waists were 30 percent bigger than those of simians eating monounsaturated fats.
5. Blueberries: Blueberries are a great source of antioxidants and fiber, plus, they also help to reduce inflammation and promote a healthier digestive tract. They’re a low GI (glycaemic index) food, which means they keep your blood-sugar (and energy) levels nice and steady. A 2009 study at the University of Michigan fed rats a blueberry-enriched powder for 90 days. After the 90 days, the rats who received the powder, which accounted for 2 percent of their diet, had less abdominal fat and improved fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity, which measures how your body uses glucose for energy. The more fiber you eat — experts say that it’s best to get between 25 and 35 grams every day — the fewer calories you absorb from all the other stuff you put in your mouth. That’s because fiber traps food particles and shuttles them out of your system before they’re fully digested.
6. Eggs: Eggs are a perfect protein source. They contain a perfect balance of essential amino acids which are protein building blocks responsible for building everything in your body – from muscle fibers to brain chemicals. In a randomized controlled trial, 160 overweight or obese men and women were divided into 2 groups, one of which ate a breakfast including 2 eggs, while the other consumed a bagel breakfast supplying the same amount of calories and weight mass (an important control factor in satiety and weight loss studies). Participants ate their assigned breakfast at least 5 days a week for 8 weeks as part of a low-fat diet with a 1,000 calorie deficit. Compared to those on the bagel breakfast, egg eaters had an 83% greater decrease in waist circumference.
7. Yogurt: A study published by International Journal of Obesity suggests that people who get their calcium mostly from yogurts lose more weight around their midsection. The probiotic bacteria found in yogurts keep your digestive system healthy, which translates to less bloating and constipation, which in turn makes you belly flatter. Eat 18 ounces a day and you can drop a jeans size. People who ate that much — in conjunction with cutting their total calories — lost 22 percent more weight and 81 percent more belly fat than dieters who skipped the snack, according to research from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
8. Almonds: Almonds are a true super-food. They build muscle, reduce cravings, and fight obesity. Start your mornings with a handful of small almonds (at least 6). They will help your body to burn fat and help you on your way to a flat stomach. These delicious and versatile nuts contain filling protein and fiber, not to mention vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. They’re also a good source of magnesium, a mineral your body must have in order to produce energy, build and maintain muscle tissue, and regulate blood sugar. “A stable blood-sugar level helps prevent cravings that can lead to overeating and weight gain,” says David Katz, MD, a professor at the Yale University School of Medicine.
9. Spinach: Spinach is a great source of vitamins and minerals (calcium, beta-carotene, vitamin C and magnesium) and with only 7 calories per cup it is a very low-calorie food. Calcium is known to help muscles to contact so it’s a great pre-workout food. You could eat a whole bag and mot even put a dent in your daily calories. So put it in whatever. Omelets, salads, smoothies, wraps, if you can put spinach in it (and not have it be disgusting) do it.
10. Water: Water is actually not a food; however, it is very important to drink lots of water. It will help your body to increase its metabolism and it will reduce your daily caloric intake. By drinking eight cups of chilled water per day your body will spend 70 calories more than it would otherwise. Also, by drinking water instead of high-sugar drinks, you will cut hundreds of extra calories per day!

10 BEST FOODS FOR HEALTHY SKIN
Turns out it’s most likely what’s on your plate that dictates how healthy your skin is, how young you look, and whether or not you have acne.
Sure genetics and other lifestyle and environmental factors play a part, but you’d be hard-pressed to find any esthetician, nutritionist or dermatologist that wouldn’t consider food a major factor in deciding whether you have a clear, youthful-looking complexion.

So, let’s look at the best foods to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
1. Blueberries: Blueberries are, like green tea and red wine, extremely rich in anti-oxidants, which target the free radical that are destroying the skin cells. The skin will look younger for longer if DNA-damaging free radicals are neutralized by the anti-oxidants and phytochemicals found in blueberries. They are also an excellent source of fiber, vitamins C/E, manganese, and riboflavin.
2. Oysters: Oysters are your skins best friend. They are loaded with zinc which is known for preventing many skin ailments such as acne, scalp conditions, boils, ulcers and diaper rashes. Zinc is a mineral with big “beauty” benefits because it renews and repairs the skin. It also helps to create collagen, which provides the structural support in skin. It helps in enhancing immunity as well.
3. Tomatoes: Tomato has an antioxidant called lycopene which helps to protect your skin from UV damage from sunburn. In western diet, about 85% of lycopene is obtained only from tomatoes, and the best place to find them in the tomato paste. A study was made on 23 women, who were asked to eat 55g of tomato every day, for 12 weeks (giving them 16mg of lycopene). After getting them back to lab, it was revealed, that a 30% increase in natural skin protection was detected.
4. Kiwis: Kiwis contain large amounts of water-soluble vitamin C, which is needed to produce collagen. This is a “connective” type of protein which helps to firm your skin. With aging, production of collagen decreases and the skin loses its elasticity. Kiwis are also full of vitamins C and E, which not only fight free radicals, but also help to repair and heal the skin. That’s why you can see many skin care products with kiwi extracts in them.
5. Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate is full of flavonoids which protect the skin from UV rays. German researchers gave 24 women a half-cup of special extra-flavonoid-enriched cocoa every day, and after 3 months, the women’s skin was moister, smoother and less scaly, when exposed to UV light.
6. Sweet Potatoes: Snacking on sweet potatoes can keep your skin clear, smooth and young-looking. Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that coverts to vitamin A in your body, which is in charge at producing new skin cells and shedding old ones. A regular influx of new cells keeps the surface of your skin smooth, fresh-looking and resistant to irritants and damage. It’s no coincidence that some of the best topical healthy-skin ingredients in beauty products, retinoic acid and retinol, are derivatives of vitamin A.
7. Strawberries: Strawberries are one of the World’s healthiest foods. Just one cup has over 100 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C, 20 percent RDA for manganese and nearly 15 percent RDA for fiber. In other words, strawberries are rich in nutrients that our skin loves to dine on. With a high content of alpha-hydroxy acids, strawberries help slough off dead skin cells, increasing natural skin renewal by revealing the new youthful skin underneath. Strawberries also contain ellagic acid, which helps protect the skin from UV rays.
8. Sunflower seeds: Sunflower seeds will make your skin glow. Eating raw sunflower seeds can give you a powerful punch of many vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals found in these amazing little seeds are; magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, iron, calcium, copper, vitamins B1, B2, B6, A, E, K, C and fiber. Vitamin E, in particular, is a very powerful vitamin, needed to help fight the aging process. They are also rich in omega-6 essential fatty acids.
9. Spinach: Spinach contains various nutrients that are good for your skin. The most useful vitamins of spinach are vitamin A, C, E, and K. The high amount of vitamin A in spinach also promotes healthy skin by allowing for proper moisture retention in the epidermis, thus fighting psoriasis, keratinization, acne and even wrinkles. A study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that folks who ate the most spinach developed half as many skin tumors over 11 years as those who ate the smallest amount. That’s likely because the folate in spinach helps maintain and repair DNA, reducing the likelihood of cancer-cell growth.
10. Olive oil: Olive oil is rich in oleic acid, one of the fatty acids that keep cell membranes fluid and therefore make skin supple. Olive oil also has small amounts of other essential fatty acids that fight inflammation. Yet another benefit comes in the form of vitamin E and polyphenols, a class of antioxidants that protect skin from free radical damage. When you prepare dishes, that require oil, aim for olive oil.

10 BEST FOODS FOR PREGNANCY
Now that you’re expecting, it’s more important than ever to eat right. So what tops our list of eat-smart tips for expectant mamas? Read on to find out what to eat while pregnant.
1. Eggs: In addition to more than 12 vitamins and minerals, eggs contain lots of quality protein, which is essential for pregnancy. Baby’s cells are growing at an exponential rate, and every cell is made of protein, plus, a pregnant woman has her own protein needs.Eggs are also rich in choline, which promotes your baby’s overall growth and brain health, while helping prevent neural tube defects. Some even contain omega-3 fats, important for both brain and vision development. (Brands that have omega-3 fats will probably state so on the label.)As for eggs’ bad rap for cholesterol? Not warranted. It turns out that eating saturated fat does much more damage to your cholesterol level than eating the cholesterol naturally found in food. And while eggs are high in cholesterol, they’re also relatively low in saturated fat, with about one and a half grams per egg.Healthy women with normal blood cholesterol can consume one to two eggs a day as part of a balanced diet low in saturated fat.
2. Avocados: Loaded with folic acid (vital to forming your baby’s brain and nervous system), potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 (which not only helps baby’s tissue and brain growth, but may also help with your morning sickness), avocados are a delicious way to get your vitamins. Spread some ripe avocado on your whole grain roll as a healthy substitute for mayo. Keep in mind that avocados are high in fat (though the very good kind) and calories, so heap them on your plate only if you’re having trouble gaining weight.
3. Carrots: Carrots are tops when it comes to vitamin A, so important for the development of your baby’s bones, teeth, and eyes. They’re perfect for munching on the go, but they also shred neatly into almost anything (from salads to meatloaf to cakes to muffins). Carrots are also a good source of vitamins B6 and C, and fiber to keep things moving.
4. Salmon: Omega-3 fatty acids are good for your baby’s brain and eyes, and salmon is a great source. Plus it provides protein and B vitamins. Salmon is also relatively low in mercury compared to other fish. Try it grilled, broiled, or on a salad. You can safely eat up to 12 ounces of low-mercury fish, such as salmon, per week.
5. Legumes: Legumes are high in folic acid (folate), which is vital to the development of the baby’s neural tube. The neural tube forms during the first month of pregnancy and later develops into the baby’s brain and spinal cord. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a daily consumption of at least .4 milligrams of folic acid (a B vitamin) to decreases the risk of neural tube defects, such a spina bifida.Legumes are also filled with a high content of iron. Iron is necessary to the development of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. Without enough oxygen, the body’s organs and tissues cannot operate well. Iron also helps fight pregnancy symptoms of tiredness, irritability, and depression. During pregnancy, iron is absorbed at a quicker rate so a higher intake is required to ensure both mother and baby get the adequate amount. The recommended daily intake (RDI) of iron during pregnancy is 27mg per day.Another added benefit of legumes is they are loaded with fiber. This helps combat the discomfort of constipation, a common problem among pregnant women.
6. Sweet Potatoes: Although sweet potatoes would be a nutritious addition to anyone’s diet, pregnant women might find them particularly beneficial. Sweet potatoes naturally contain several of the nutrients women need during pregnancy, including protein, fiber, folate, vitamin A and vitamin C. Sweet potatoes also are low in calories and fat and do not contain any cholesterol.When you are pregnant, you require about 75 to 100 g of protein, which helps your unborn baby grow properly and plays a role in increasing your blood supply. You also need to get more vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, vitamin B-12, copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc than women who are not pregnant. Iron intake should increase from 18 g to 27 g a day during pregnancy. Although higher iron consumption could lead to constipation, getting at least 25 g to 30 g of fiber each day should help prevent this. Sweet potatoes are a good source of almost all of these nutrients.
7. Walnuts: Naturopathic physician Heather Manley points out that walnuts resemble little brains, so it just makes sense that they’re good for your mind. And the science backs it up; walnuts boost memory because they’re rich in antioxidants as well as Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. An added benefit is that walnuts boost the body’s melatonin levels, which can help cure the restless nights that pregnant women often endure.
8. Lean Meats: Women need extra iron when they’re pregnant, and the best natural source is red meat. Iron carries oxygen to your brain and to your baby’s brain; furthermore, there’s a link between low iron and poor brain function in babies, so it’s essential to consume a healthy amount of the vitamin during pregnancy. If you’re a red meat lover, the leanest cuts of beef include round and sirloin. Bison meat is an even leaner option and has considerably more iron than beef.
9. Figs: There’s a whopping 5 grams of fiber in just 1 cup of dried figs. Plus, figs are a great nondairy source of calcium; one serving contains about a quarter of your daily needs (1,000 milligrams). And while your teeth may not appreciate the high sugar content, they will benefit from the potassium, phosphorus and magnesium in figs. These tooth-supporting nutrients aren’t just great for your own mouth; they are essential to the 32 teeth forming below the gums in your growing baby’s mouth.Figs are also a good source of iron. Iron deficiency can cause anemia, especially during pregnancy, thanks to the increase in your blood volume and growing demands by the baby for iron to produce millions of red blood cells. Stewed figs contain about 3 milligrams of iron (about 10 percent of your daily recommended intake) in 1 cup. The same number of figs will also provide your body with 23 micrograms of vitamin K, which is needed for proper blood clotting and bone formation.
10. Basil: Basil is a pregnancy superfood. This fresh herb is a good source of protein, vitamin E, riboflavin, and niacin; plus, it’s a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese.
