Three Great Power foods

Have you ever wondered which foods are the best for your heath and body? Well Atlanta Personal Chef Service has done the research for you and we came up with a simple list of some powerful food that you should integrate daily or weekly in your diet.

1. Eggs (over easy): Surprised? Some people think that eggs are bad for you due to high fat (cholesterol) contained in the yolk. They may be right depending on the how the eggs are cooked. The yolk must be running in order to be healthy for you. Eggs contain great vitamin amounts of B12, A, D, E and F. It also has many minerals such as folate, iron, zinc, and phosphorous. All this in one egg that contains 70 calories. Many physiologist recommend eggs for people that suffer from depression and anxiety. Eggs are great source of protein as well. You will feel less hungry eating fewer calories.

2. Spinach: It is basically a multivitamin in a single vegetable. It contains great amounts of vitamins C, K, A. B6, B2, and E. It also has magnesium, manganese, potassium, folate, Iron, Copper and other minerals. No wonder Popeye (the cartoon) eats spinach in order to become strong. This is a great vegetable that you should eat weekly at a minimum.

3. Salmon: It has great amounts of omega 3, vitamins B12 and D. Fish in general are very good for your heath. Some researchers even relate fish to slowing down the ageing process.

The Truth About Multivitamins

Recently articles from the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune warned its readers about taking multivitamins pills. Those articles were based on the trend of people who take their vitamins as a substitute to fruits and vegetables. Some people even believe that taking those vitamins might prevent them from getting a heart attack, cancer, and other diseases. “In the Physicians’ Health Study II, we found no evidence overall that taking a multivitamin for more than a decade prevented heart attacks or strokes or any more than taking a placebo, but it didn’t increase risk, either,” says Howard Sesso, a Harvard epidemiologist who conducted the study.

The problems is that the majority of people who take multivitamins believe they don’t need to eat as many vegetables or fruits, since they are consuming their vitamins through supplements. Also, they believe that the supplements will prevent diseases. These people are obviously wrong. Its common sense that eating healthy, balanced meals with fruits and vegetables and exercising is the best way to be healthy, but people are lazy and always trying to find that magic pill so they don’t need to worry about their heath. It does not exist. There’s plenty of research that has already been proved that eating healthy and exercising is the best way to prevent diseases. There are many health components in fruits and vegetables (many that we still don’t know about it) that a multivitamin pill does not have.  The fact is that taking a multivitamin pill can be good, only if taken as supplement to a healthy diet and not as a substitute for one. Unfortunately for many lazy people out there, eating healthy and exercising is still the best way to be healthy and no amount of supplements can substitute that, at least for now.
