Eleven Energy Boosting & Disease Fighting Foods

The foods that are covered in this article are proven energy boosters as well as effective warriors against various diseases. Including them in your diet may help you find a healthier way of life.

2. Beans

A single serving of legumes, such as beans, peas and lentils, four days a week will reduce your risk for heart disease by as much as 22%.

3.     Spinach

5.     Salmon

A serving as small as 100g’s of salmon has almost 50% of the recommended daily allowance of niacin to fight memory loss memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease.

A lonely lemon contains more than 100% of the RDA of Vitamin C. The citrus Flavonoids present, have been proven to inhibit cancer cell growth and are also an effective anti-inflammatory.

Adding a slice of lemon to your green tea will actually help your body absorb the antioxidants by as much as 80%.

10. Green Chillies

Green Hot Chilli Peppers contain more than 242 mg of Vitamin C per serving, which is amazingly more than 400% of the recommended daily allowance.
