Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are

“Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are...” - 80% of our health (and even personality) can be determined by how well we eat. However, we must admit: for people living in the modern rhythm, a balanced and proper diet is a very difficult task. But if from time to time we include at least seven of the foods below in our diet, our body will be less tired, get sick less often, and therefore we will feel better. So, miracle products are...

...Brown rice
This product contains carbohydrates. People on diets deliberately avoid them, and in vain. They are very important for maintaining energy levels. Don't forget about other whole grain products: breads and cereals, which contain a lot of fiber. This will help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease, colorectal cancer, gallstones, diabetes and obesity. These foods are also vital for gut health.

...Chicken eggs
Eggs are a source of protein and lutein, which protects the eyes from cataracts. Research suggests they prevent blood clots, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. According to a recent study, consuming 6 eggs per week reduces the risk of breast cancer by 44%. Today, nutritionists say that 1-2 eggs a day does not raise cholesterol levels, since the body itself produces cholesterol from saturated fats, and does not get it from cholesterol-rich foods, which include eggs.

...Milk
Milk contains such an essential element as calcium, which is necessary for bones. Skimmed cow's milk is especially beneficial. Drink two glasses of skim milk daily or include low-fat yogurt and calcium-rich fruits in your diet.

...Spinach
Spinach is a source of iron, vitamins C, A and K, and antioxidants that help protect us from heart attack and stroke. Spinach protects against colon cancer, osteoporosis and arthritis. Like eggs, it is rich in lutein, which is good for the eyes.

...Bananas
These yellow fruits contain large amounts of potassium, which is necessary for muscle tissue, including the heart. Bananas also help lower blood pressure, are a source of fiber, which prevents cardiovascular diseases, and neutralize acid, so they are useful for treating heartburn. Lentils, sardines and dried apricots are also sources of potassium.

...Salmon
It is rich in omega-3 fats, which lower cholesterol, protect against certain types of cancer, and prevent blood clots. Research shows that salmon relieves depression and prevents memory loss. It contains niacin, which has been shown to protect against Alzheimer's disease.

Blueberry
Blueberries contain antioxidants that help prevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, heart disease and cancer. Blueberries help reduce brain dysfunction after a stroke and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, helping to cope with stomach upsets.
