Is any woman interested in health nutrition?
Health & Energy
Feeling hungry and deprived?
Sick and tired of eating tasteless unsatisfying foods?
Constantly craving sugar and savory goodies you find you’re usually indulging?
And sometimes even feeling guilty of binges?
This all adds up to a roller coaster effect of up and down success and failure.
The typical on and off again dieting and guilt trips of constantly cheating.
Worst of all, it can lead to an ever-present obsession with food and a battle between what you should be eating as opposed to what you want to be eating.
Give yourself a break…
While there are certainly foods to avoid that are immediately on the list:
- Fast food
- Fried food
- Cream-laden entrées
There is an entire world of health nutrition to explore.
You can eat delicious foods that are completely within the guidelines of most diets.
Armed with the right grocery shopping list it is well within your reach to fill your pantry with health nutrition options to satisfy your culinary desires.
The Magnificent Nine Diet Foods:
Almonds – Whole, raw almonds contain good fats; that is, unsaturated and unaltered ones that your body both needs and uses.
Consumption of almonds has been shown to actually lower blood cholesterol levels, and they are an excellent source of magnesium.
The benefit for dieters?
Almonds are a quick and easy snack that requires no preparation and give the satisfying crunch that you may be used to getting from chips.
They taste great and can be munched on by themselves, or they can be used to top a salad or other entrée.
They are high in calories, though, so don’t eat the whole bag in one sitting.
Tuna or salmon – This seemingly mundane food is full of protein and fabulous omega-3 fats.
Again, these are good fats associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and improved memory.
Its health benefit is its flexibility.
Tuna or salmon salad can be dressed up with non-fat mayonnaise, veggies, and as many spices as you can imagine.
For women that are carb-conscious, it can be enjoyed on top of a leafy salad or plain.
You can eat tuna or salmon on a slice of whole-grain bread with a slice of low-fat cheese broiled for a delicious grilled cheese alternative.
The adventurous can even try a spiced-up version with hot sauce mixed right into the salad.
Granola – Those looking for a healthy granola will have to seek out a baked variety with no added sugar.
Some of the varieties you will find at your grocery store are packed with added sugar, and therefore, calories.
But the baked sugar-free varieties are filled with whole grains, oats, and sometimes dried fruit.
They provide an excellent source of fiber and vitamins, a sweet crunch that can rarely be found in healthful foods, and are a great portable snack.
Six other health nutrition foods:
- Salsa – Underrated as a salad dressing.
- Avocados – Read more about avocados and four addition diet foods.
- Sushi
- Turkey breast
- Hummus – great for dipping carrot sticks
- Fruit (varieties like mango, pomegranate, acai berries)
Remember two keys to enhancing your health nutrition experience.
First, find ways to not binge on anything that’s unhealthy. For this reason, vary your snacks.
If you’ve already had an avocado-tuna fish salad and still feel hungry, switch to some apple slices or slices of turkey breast.
You’ll get the nutritional and health benefits of a varied diet without going overboard on any one item.
Second, utilize your spices!
Spices usually contain a negligible amount of calories but can add intense and adventurous flavors to something you would usually find bland or boring.
