Carbs have gotten a bad rap the past decade. You need good carbohydrates to help your body preform everyday activities. (No, the donut is not a "good" carb. Don't even think about eating one.) I want to supply you with healthy carbohydrates that you should be eating on a regular basis. Give this a read and try to take from it a few of the foods listed and try to incorporate them into your diet.
1) APPLES:- My favorite dessert! Apples are tasty and come in a wide variety of flavors. They are also small and portable. They can be eaten anytime. So no excuses! On top of this apples are rich in a number of healthy nutrients including fiber, vitamin C and various antioxidants.
Fiber has a number of benefits which include improved blood sugar control and improved bowel health. Vitamin C also performs a number of important functions including helping your wounds heal and strengthing your immune system. Which means your less likely to catch a cold or flu from your co worker!
2) BANANAS:- Bananas are another fruit that is small and easy to carry making them perfect for snacking. Oh, and they lower your blood pressure too! I find that they are particularly good as a pre workout snack as they give you energy for the workout and eliminate any hunger pangs that may occur as you exercise. Bananas are also nutrient rich containing high levels of fiber, manganese, potassium, vitamin b-6 and vitamin C.
3) MUSHROOMS:- Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods! Why? Well, they are extremely versatile and can be added to casseroles, stews and more. These puppes are not only a tasty addition to most meals, mushrooms are also one of the most nutrient rich food choices around. They help you have healthy skin and vision. They also help you sleep and improve your mood! AWESOME!!!!
4) ONIONS:- Onions are another versatile food that can be put into almost any meal. Another one of my favs. Although not everyone is a huge fan of the taste I think that onions add a perfect crunchy texture to meals. They also provide your body with various nutrients including chromium, fiber, manganese, vitamin C and various flavonoids. Onions can help with the prevention of breast cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer to name a few, because of the flavonoids.
5) ORANGES:- Oranges have a nice, sweet but tangy flavor. Who doesn’t love an Orange? Like the other fruits listed, oranges are very portable making them a perfect snack food. Once again, no excuses! Want healthy vision, to break food down to be used for energy and boost your mood? Eat Oranges!
