Healthy foods for the body

We all know that to have a healthy body we must eat fruit, fish, vegetables and meat, but there are many other foods that are good to eat that not all of us know are beneficial for us and with which we can have a healthy life, more than nothing because we don't know them well or because a few have given them a “bad name”.

So now we leave you 5 foods that are good to eat to give our body energy and keep it healthy.

Tea (Camellia sinensis plant leaves, black, green, white and oolong tea)
Anyone that comes from the camellia sinensis plant leaves, including black, green, white and oolong teas.

There are many studies that have conducted research focusing on the benefits of tea, yet some potential benefits are not yet proven, there is complete evidence that tea reduces the risk of many heart diseases.

Many studies have conducted research with results that there is a possibility that tea may prevent cancer , reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and improve halitosis, still speculative research.

Among the ingredients in tea is catechins, a type of flavonoid that comes from the family of biochemical antioxidants found in many fruits, vegetables, and red wine.

How much tea should I drink a day? Research has been conducted that drinking 3 cups of tea a day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Dark chocolate)

Believe it or not, dark chocolate contains flavonoids similar to those found in tea, fruits, vegetables, and red wine.

Dark chocolate can improve blood flow , especially in adults and older people, and can also improve blood sugar level and help diabetes patients with insulin sensitivity.

Studies have published in various health magazines that the antioxidants found in dark chocolate can help reduce blood pressure and also reduce cholesterol levels, in which it is suggested to consume a small daily portion of dark chocolate and cut calories with other foods so as not to gain weight.

Fish (Fat)

The fatty fish from cold waters like salmon, trout, tuna, sardines among others, are rich in fatty acids and omega - 3, a type of unsaturated fat that promotes health in many different ways and the ability to lower cholesterol and triglycerides, preventing blood clots and heart attacks.

Avocados
Avocados are a fruit full of fat, much of that fat is mono-saturated and with which we can reduce cholesterol.

Avocados contain carotenoids, are also rich in vitamin E and potassium, contain fiber to aid your digestion and are rich in beta sitosterol, a natural substance that reduces cholesterol levels that contain antioxidant chemicals that contribute to good healthy health.

Coffee
The caffeine in coffee stimulates a central nervous system thus lowering the risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease and character problems, headaches and cavities.

Coffee contains beneficial substances, such as gene-colored acid, a component of the antioxidant family that improves glucose metabolism, and coffee also contains magnesium, a mineral that improves insulin sensitivity and increases glucose tolerance.
Still, expert studies are not ready to recommend consuming a large amount of coffee daily, as this habit is associated with a less healthy lifestyle.
