Click Here!Research, The Anchor Of Any Plan
Author: John
My last post talked about changing your life using some research , some planning and some determination. This post is just a list of healthy foods that you can use to move toward that goal of holistic wellness and some reasons why you might want to choose them.
Whole Grains
- Whole wheat bread, wheat bran cereals, and whole wheat pasta contain high levels of insoluble fiber for gastrointestinal health.
- Oatmeal is rich in soluble fiber to help lower cholesterol levels.
Nuts
- High in monounsaturated fat to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Tomatoes – fresh, canned, juice or sauce
- Lycopene is an antioxidant found in tomatoes that may decrease the risk of cancers — particularly prostate cancer and, more recently, breast cancer.
- Lycopene is most able to be used by your body when it has been cooked.
Salmon and Tuna – fresh or canned
- Rich in omega-3 fatty acids that may decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Olive Oil
- Rich in monounsaturated fats to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Green Leafy Vegetables – fresh or frozen (spinach, kale, chard, green leafy lettuce)
- Contain flavonoids to help prevent memory loss.
- Rich in carotenoids which help to ward off macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.
- Eat these greens with avocado to help your body absorb these nutrients better.
Garlic
- Can help decrease cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and perhaps prevent cancer.
- Acts as an antibiotic.
Dried Beans and Peas – dry, canned or frozen
- Loaded with soluble fiber to lower cholesterol, and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Broccoli — fresh or frozen
- May decrease the risk of breast cancer.
- Extremely rich in antioxidants to help protect body cells from disease and aging.
- Excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps maintain a strong immune system and may reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
- Good source of potassium, an important mineral for healthy blood pressure.
- Steam your broccoli lightly to help your body absorb these nutrients
Fruits of various colors – fresh or frozen
- Loaded with vitamin C, an antioxidant that may reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Loaded with soluble fiber to lower cholesterol, and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
- Extremely rich in antioxidants to help protect body cells from disease and aging. Each color is indicative of the different kinds of antioxidants.
- Good source of potassium, an important mineral for healthy blood pressure.
- Eat the whole fruit not just the juice. The solid part of the fruit has fiber that helps regulate your blood sugar and many of the nutrients are in the pulp.
Hopefully this will give you some starting information for your research toward better health.
Be well.

OMG! Has anyone heard of this woman Rose Cole? She’s a Holistic Nutrition Coach. I LOVE her free videos on this blog about weight loss! They are so rad! http://www.rosecole.com/special-event-video-blog
Definitely agree with everything you stated. Your explanation was certainly easy and simple to comprehend. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss problems that they plainly are not aware of about. You managed to kick the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people normally takes a sign. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks.
Thank you for another fantastic blog. Where else could I get this kind of information written in such an incite full way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been looking for such information… Regards…
Just looking at your site on my new Pure phone, and I wanted to see if it would let me reply or if it made me go to a desktop to do that. Ill check back later to see if it worked.
Thanks for an idea, you sparked at thought from a concept I hadn’t thought of before . Now lets see if I can do something productive with it.
@Marco I know what your saying there . In the current economy its difficult to find a company to work for that pays good enough to live on and is stable . I have found that if you just work hard and are consistent you can succeed. Look at the poster of this article, they are clearly hard working and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.
cool site we need more updates bookmark it for later
With all the doggone snow we have gotten as of late I am stuck indoors, fortunately there is the internet, thanks for giving me something to do.
Thanks for some quality points there. I am kind of new to web surfing, so I printed this off to put in my file, any better way to go about keeping track of it then printing?
