Nutrition is not only 80% of accomplishing a fat loss goal, but helps maintain and improve overall health and fitness.
Other than genetics, nutrition can either increase your quality of life or make you more prone to disease, sickness, tiredness, and poor performance in life and in the gym. It’s really true when they say “you are what you eat” or eating bad food is comparable to putting bad quality gas in to your car. In the fitness world you always hear “you can’t out-train a bad diet.” This is so true whatever your goal might be.
Take a look at the list below for some foods that should be in included in your diet.
1. Almonds- Great snack substitute for chips, pretzels, candy, cookies. Almonds are a good source of potassium and like other nuts are low in saturated fat and high in unsaturated fat.
2. Blueberries- Should always include when eating fruit. Blueberries are an antioxidant that helps fight disease and also a great source of vitamin K Research has shown blueberries can help prevent osteoporosis and hardening of the arteries.
3. Broccoli- Broccoli is a classic good-for-you vegetable. No convincing anyone on this super food.
4. Kidney Beans- Rich in fiber, iron and protein, they can be a key ingredient to a meatless meal.
5. Salmon- The classic example of fish with heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids, salmon can be broiled, baked or grilled to make a main dish.
