Top 10 "Healthy" Foods That Will Amaze you

Broccoli

The "King" of health vegetables. Loaded with vitamins such as
B-6,A, folic acid, and K also full of minerals like potassium
and calcium. Broccoli also has unique cancer-fighting
properties, activated by phytochemicals indole-3-carbinol and
sulforaphane.

Flaxseeds

Combine the warm nutty flavor of flaxseeds with a generous amount
of omega-3 fatty acids and you have a health food superstar.
Sprinkle them on cereal in the morning and enjoy the healthy
benefits they provide as shown in many studies including:

* Lowering total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the Bad
cholesterol) levels.
* May also help lower blood triglyceride and blood pressure.
* Keep platelets from becoming sticky therefore reducing the risk
of a heart attack.
* Lignan metabolites can bind to estrogen receptors, this may help
the onset of estrogen-stimulated breast cancer.

Green Tea

Many studies support the benefits of adding green tea to your diet.
Some studies show it has cancer risk reducing properties, and a
potential in also decreasing incidence of stroke and heart disease.
Make it habit to switch from regular black tea to green tea.

Walnuts

Walnuts are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, walnuts are
the first food that the FDA allowed to make this claim
"Supportive but not conclusive research shows that
eating 1.5 oz of walnuts per day, as part of a low saturated fat
and low cholesterol diet, and not resulting in increased caloric
intake may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."

Salmon

Salmon is another healthy food superstar because it is low in
calories, saturated fat, and is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids
and protien. Research studies have shown anti-inflammatory and
cancer prevention properties and a key role in diabetes and
Alzheimer's prevention plus cardiovascular benefits.

Blueberries

If you are looking for an antioxidant punch look no further
then the blueberry. This fruit has the highest level of antioxidants
among fruits. Studies have shown that blueberries can help in
lowering cholesterol, reducing diabetes risk, and even slowing down
the aging process. Combine that with improving motor skills and
urinary and vision health and you have another
top 10 pick for 2010.

Spices

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce cancer
risk and slow the progression of Alzheimer's. Studies have shown
that cinnamon can help lower cholesterol and also stabilize blood
sugar. Ginger looks promising for cancer prevention and is
anti-inflammatory.

Pomegranate

Research on pomegranate has shown amazing health benefits including
reducing heart disease risk, lowering cholesterol and blood
pressure, and reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.

Dark Chocolate

Believe it or not dark chocolate actually makes our top 10 list
because of recent studies which show benefits to our cardiovascular
system as well as cancer-protective properties and mood-enhancing
benefits. Just remember to consume in moderation.

5 Ways To Win

There are 5 ways for you to win...


1: You win when you’re comfortable. This person’s primary goal is to just go through life as comfortably as possible. They don’t want stress. They don’t want to be pushed or challenged. They don’t like conflict. The just want to go through life on cruise control, hanging out with their friends, and having a good time. Everything they do is designed to support their pursuit of comfort.

This is your average, life-long employee who’s more than happy to have a safe, stable, comfortable job.

If you push this person away from that goal, and challenge them or their routine lifestyle, watch out.

2: You win by being liked. This person’s primary goal in life is to be liked by others. They want acceptance from everyone, and will do just about anything to reach that goal. They’d rather be liked, than be right or wrong.

When you put someone like this in a leadership role, the business will usually fail because they won’t be willing to make hard decisions that would anger someone. They would try to please everyone all the time because their ultimate motivation is to be liked by others.

3: You win by being right. This person is usually an expert in a specific field like a professor, lawyer, or a wife. (Just kidding ladies! ?). People who win by being right, don’t accept criticism and aren’t open to new ideas.

They tend to reach a glass ceiling when it comes to money, their career, and relationships, because they can’t accept their short-comings in order to move past them and achieve personal growth. Arguing with this person never works because they’ll always find a way to prove you wrong, even if it means sabotaging your company in the process.

In order to win, this person must be right.

4: You win by winning. This person is an achiever. Their primary motivation is to win. They are very competitive, and will do whatever it takes to win. They won’t quit, and they’ll constantly push themselves to gain the edge they need.

This category describes all successful entrepreneurs and athletes. Winning is their reward, and on the dark side, some of them will go too far and compromise their integrity in order to do so. Key Lay of Enron is a great example.

This type of person doesn’t care if others don’t like them, and they welcome discomfort because it provides them with new opportunities to win.

This is how Robert wins, and looking at my past, this is how I win... Two State Championships in cycling. The #1 marketing system in the industry. Millionaire before 30. I win, by winning. I am constantly evaluating and improving myself, and will do whatever it takes, (with integrity), to be the best. Period.

5: You win by losing. This person wins by being a victim. They want sympathy from others or their spouse. Just when things start to get better, they will sabotage themselves, and say, “I knew it wouldn’t work”, giving them their victory once again.

There lives are always filled with problems because they don’t win unless they lose, so they create circumstances and excuses that help them fulfill that destiny like, “Your book won’t teach me anything new. I don’t have the money. This is just another scam. I’ll give it a try…”

Now if you’re like me when I was exposed to this, you’re taking a long hard look at your life right now.

There are people who are not wealthy because they want to be comfortable. There are people who are not healthy because they want to be comfortable. There are people who are stuck in the same job without a promotion for 10 years because they want to be liked. There are people who are addicted to struggle because they win by losing.

And most likely, you see a little of yourself in each of these categories.
I know I do, but what’s important to remember, is that winning is a continuous process that is brought to an end once you’ve won, which is an event.

As soon as you’ve “won”, the process starts all over again.

Hope you enjoy reading !

Top 55 Lean-Body Foods For The Holidays

By Dan Robey, author of Power of Positive Habits

Did you know that there are many foods that actually help you develop a trim and fit
body during the Holiday Season?

This is also a great way to start off 2010.

You will love this article by Mike Geary an Author, Certified Nutrition Specialist and friend of mine.

In many of my previous articles, I like to provide a healthy snack or meal recipe that not only is delicious and healthy, but also helps to get you closer to that hard-body
appearance that everyone is looking for, while also more importantly, improving your health for life.

In this article, I'd like to give you healthy food ideas in a
different way. This time,I figured I'd just give you some ideas of what I stock my fridge and cabinets with.

Remember, if you don't have junk around the house, you're less likely to eat junk. If all you have is healthy food around the house, you're forced to make smart choices. Basically, it all starts with making smart choices and avoiding temptations when you
make your grocery store trip. Now these are just some of my personal preferences, but perhaps they will give you some good ideas that you'll enjoy.

Alright, so let's start with the fridge.

Each week, I try to make sure I'm loaded up with lots of varieties of fresh vegetables.During the growing season, I only get local produce, but obviously in winter, I have to resort to the produce at the grocery store.

Most of the time, I make sure I have plenty of vegetables like onions, zucchini, spinach, fresh mushrooms, red peppers, broccoli, etc. to use in my morning eggs. I also like to dice up some lean chicken or turkey sausage into the eggs, along with some swiss, jack, or goat cheeses (preferably raw grass-fed cheeses when I can find them).

By the way I'm talking about whole eggs, NOT egg whites. Always remember that the yolk is the most nutritious and nutrient dense part of the egg, so only eating egg whites is like throwing away the best part... and no, it's NOT bad for you because of the cholesterol... eggs actually raise your GOOD cholesterol. Try to get free range organic eggs for the best quality.

Coconut milk is another staple in my fridge. I like to use it to mix in with smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt for a rich, creamy taste.

Not only does coconut milk add a rich, creamy taste to lots of dishes, but it's also full of healthy saturated fats. Yeah, you heard me...I said healthy saturated fats! Healthy saturated fats like medium chain triglycerides, specifically an MCT called lauric
acid. If the idea of healthy saturated fats is foreign to you, check out my healthy fats article.

Back to the fridge, some other staples:

* Chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds - delicious and great sources of healthy fats.

* Cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and yogurt - I like to mix cottage or ricotta cheese and yogurt together with chopped nuts and berries for a great mid-morning or mid-
afternoon meal.

* Whole flax seeds or chia seeds - I grind these in a mini coffee grinder and add to yogurt or salads. Always grind them fresh because the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats
are highly unstable and prone to oxidation, creating high levels of free radicals in
pre-ground flax.

* Whole eggs - one of natures richest sources of nutrients (and remember, they increase your GOOD cholesterol so stop fearing them).

* Salsa - I try to get creative and try some of the exotic varieties of salsas.

* Avocados - love them...plus a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and other nutrients. Try adding them to wraps, salads, or sandwiches.

* Butter - don't believe the naysayers; butter adds great flavor to anything and can be part of a healthy diet (just keep the quantity small because it is calorie dense...and NEVER use margarine, unless you want to assure yourself a heart attack).

* Nut butters - Plain old peanut butter has gotten a little old for me, so I get creative and mix together almond butter with sesame seed butter, or even cashew butter with macadamia butter...delicious and unbeatable nutrition!

* Leaf lettuce and spinach along with shredded carrots - for salads with dinner.

* Home-made salad dressing - using balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and Udo's Choice oil blend. This is much better than store bought salad dressing which mostly use highly refined soybean oil (full of inflammation-causing free radicals).

* Whole grain wraps and whole grain bread (look for wraps and bread with at least 3-4 grams of fiber per 20 grams of total carbs).

* Rice bran and wheat germ - these may sound way too healthy for some, but they actually add a nice little nutty, crunchy taste to yogurt or smoothies, or can be added when baking muffins or breads to add nutrients and fiber.

Some of the staples in the freezer:

* Frozen berries - during the local growing season, I only get fresh berries, but during the other 10 months of the year, I always keep a supply of frozen blueberries,
raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries, etc. to add to high fiber cereal, oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, or smoothies

* Frozen fish - I like to try a couple different kinds of fish each week. There are so many varieties out there, you never have to get bored.

* Frozen chicken breasts - very convenient for a quick addition to wraps or chicken sandwiches for quick meals.
* Grass-fed steaks, burgers, and ground beef - Grassfed meats have been shown to have as high as, or even higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids than salmon (without the mercury). Also, grass-fed meats have much higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid
(CLA) compared to typical grain-fed beef. I recently found an excellent on-line store where I buy all of my grass-fed meats now (they even deliver right to your door in a sealed cooler) - http://www.healthygrassfed.2ya.com/

* Frozen buffalo, ostrich, venison, and other "exotic" lean meats - Yeah, I know...I'm weird, but I can tell you that these are some of the healthiest meats around, and if you're serious about a lean healthy body, these types of meats are much better for you than the mass produced, hormone-pumped beef and pork that's sold at most grocery stores.

* Frozen veggies - again, when the growing season is over and I can no longer get local fresh produce, frozen veggies are the best option, since they often have higher nutrient contents compared to the fresh produce that has been shipped thousands of miles, sitting around for weeks before making it to your dinner table.

Alright, now the staples in my cabinets:

* Various antioxidant rich teas - green, oolong, white, rooibos are some of the best.

* Whole wheat or whole grain spelt pasta - much higher fiber than normal pastas

* Oat bran and steel cut oats - higher fiber than those little packs of instant oats.

* Cans of coconut milk - to be transferred to a container in the fridge after opening.

* Brown rice and other higher fiber rice - NEVER white rice

* Tomato sauces - delicious, and as I'm sure you've heard a million times, they are a great source of lycopene. Just watch out for the brands that are loaded with nasty
high fructose corn syrup.

* Stevia - a natural non-caloric sweetener, which is an excellent alternative to the nasty chemical-laden artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharine, and sucralose.

* Raw honey - better than processed honey... higher quantities of beneficial nutrients and enzymes. Honey has even been proven in studies to improve glucose metabolism (how you process carbs). I use a teaspoon or so every morning in my teas. Yes, it is pure sugar, but at least it has some nutritional benefits... and let's be real, a teaspoon of healthier raw honey is only 5 grams of carbs... certainly nothing to worry about.

* Organic maple syrup - none of that high fructose corn syrup Aunt Jemima crap...only real maple syrup can be considered real food. The only time I really use this (because of the high sugar load) is added to my post-workout smoothies to sweeten things up and also elicit an insulin surge to push nutrients into your
muscles.

* Organic unsweetened cocoa powder - I like to mix this into my smoothies for an extra jolt of antioxidants or make my own low-sugar hot cocoa by mixing cocoa powder into hot milk with stevia and a couple melted dark chocolate chunks.

* Cans of black or kidney beans - I like to add a couple scoops to my Mexican wraps for the fiber and high nutrition content. Also, beans are surprisingly one of the best sources of youth promoting antioxidants!

* Dark chocolate (as dark as possible) - This is one of my treats that satisfies my sweet tooth, plus provides loads of antioxidants at the same time. It's still calorie dense, so I keep it to just a couple squares; but that is enough to do the trick, so I don't feel like I need to go out and get cake and ice cream to satisfy my dessert urges.

Lastly, another thing that's hard to go wrong with is a good variety of fresh fruits and berries. The staples such as bananas, apples, oranges, pears, peaches are good, but I like to also be a little more adventurous and include things like yellow (aka -
mexican or champagne) mangoes, pomegranates, kumquats, papaya, star
fruit, pineapples, and others. Also, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries are some of the most nutrient and antioxidant-dense fruits
you can eat.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this special look into my favorite lean body meals and how I stock my cabinets and fridge. Your tastes are probably quite different than mine, but hopefully this gave you some good ideas you can use next time you're at the grocery store looking to stock up a healthy and delicious pile of groceries.

Be sure to pick up a copy of Mike's book The Truth about Six Pack Abs, which introduces you to the entire comprehensive training and nutritional program that will turn your body into a lean, sexy specimen that others will envy!
