There is an extremely useful division of food into three categories:
- Highly beneficial foods – foods which can be used as medicine
- Foods that are allowed – foods that do not harm your blood type
- Foods that are not allowed – foods which can act as poison
If you follow a diet which is specific to your blood type, you will significantly improve your wellbeing, and you can even prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, the following food will be of great benefit for your health, and in the struggle to lose excess weight as well:
Avocados
Avocados are rich in healthy fats, primarily monounsaturated, which do not support inflammation in the body like certain omega 6- rich polyunsaturated fats.
These fruits are abundant in essential nutrients and effectively regulate blood pressure and cleanse the arteries. You can add some avocados to your salad and they will keep you full longer, so you can avoid the afternoon snack.
Turmeric
This bright yellow spice is undoubtedly one of the healthiest spices you can consume. It has a mild flavor and it is responsible for the color of curry powder. Add this spice to all kinds of dishes, stews, curries, vegetable juices, and enjoy its benefits.
They are mostly due to its active ingredient, curcumin, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties and soothes the pain. Moreover, it helps in the case of indigestion, bloating, and various digestive issues.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is extremely beneficial for the digestive and the immune system, as well as for the general wellbeing. It is a heat stable fat, so it is stable if cooked and does not get damaged or oxidized as other vegetable oils.
It contains medium chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, which is easily digestible and the liver uses it for energy. Its fats have powerful antimicrobial properties and promote a healthy balance of good microbes in the digestive tract.
Therefore, include it into your diet in order to avoid carbohydrate and sugar cravings and support weight loss.
Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate can be good for your health as well, especially the good-quality ones, which have more than 80% cocoa content. This chocolate does not contain dairy products, are low in sugar, and some types do not even include soy lecithin, which is often genetically modified.
Dark chocolate will prevent food cravings as well, and it is rich in antioxidants polyphenols which neutralize free radicals in the body and in fact boost the healthy HDL cholesterol levels.
Namely, numerous people suffering from the syndrome X, or insulin resistance, have extremely reduced levels of beneficial cholesterol in their blood.
Fish oil
Some anti-inflammatory foods are rich in fat, but most natural fats are highly anti-inflammatory. This indicates that processed vegetable oils which are rich in omega 6 fats can often be inflammatory.
On the other hand, oily fish includes omega 3 fats which support the pain relieving prostaglandins (a type of hormone) in the body, so fish oil can alleviate painful issues like menstrual cramps, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Moreover, it also relieves atherosclerosis and reduces blood clots in the arteries.
This oil is also high in selenium, which stimulates the production of auto-antibodies, and thus helps in the case of autoimmune diseases. This mineral is also essential for the production of glutathione, the body’s powerful antioxidant.
Selenium also effectively fights viral infections, which if chronic, lead to constant fatigue and increased inflammation.
Omega 3 fats-rich fish include trout, herrings, mullet, wild salmon, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies. In case you do not consume them regularly, you can also take fish oil supplements, as well as selenium, and enjoy their health benefits.
The incorporation of right food into your diet can make a bigger change in your life than you can imagine. Namely, healthy foods can restore your wellbeing, strengthen your health and help you lose weight.
