Health care

1. FATTY FISH

Good to Know

• Watch out for fresh, cold-water ocean fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines and whitefish.
• Take care not to buy farm-raised fish. Farmed fish are generally fed a mixture of corn and soy. And that’s why they contain only less of the heart-friendly omega-3 fatty acids.
• Fresh fish is an excellent source of protein. It’s a healthier alternative source of protein than many meats.

Benefit

• Omega-3 fatty acids display especially beneficial effects on the immune system, cardiovascular system and brain health.
• Protein is a must for anyone looking to get in shape. After a workout the body needs access to the amino acids in protein in order to build healthy muscle mass.
• Strands of protein in keratin make nails strong. Without it, nails become weak and brittle.
• Healthy hair is dependant on protein intake, too. Hair is composed primarily of keratin.

2. TEA

Good to Know

• Black, green and white tea contains thousands of natural chemical compounds that help the body in nearly as many ways.
• According to latest studies black and green tea consumption is an equally good health supporting beverage.

• The caffeine in tea provides a boost of energy, of course.

3. AVOCADOS

Good to Know

• Avocados are high in fat. However, most of the fat is monounsaturated, which is the good fat capable of helping lower “bad” cholesterol while raising “good” cholesterol.

Benefit

• Avocados are high in fiber, potassium, vitamin K and several other essential vitamins that contribute to healthy strong and shining hair.
• Heart disease is caused by cholesterol buildup on the walls of arteries. The fat in avocados can help reduce the amount of that bad cholesterol in the body.

4. LOW-FAT YOGURT
