These super foods are proven to keep your energy boosted & help fight diseases. For a healthy balanced nutrition add them in you daily meals.
Oranges
Just one Orange has more than 100 percent of your daily intake of vitamin C, which may help increase “good” HDL cholesterol levels and strengthen bones.
Citrus falconoid found in Oranges help inhibit the growth of cancer cells and act as an anti-inflammatory.
Broccoli
One medium stalk of broccoli contains more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin K requirement and almost 200 percent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C –two essential bone-building nutrients.
Dark Chocolate
Just one-fourth of an ounce daily can reduce blood pressure in otherwise healthy individuals.
Cocoa powder is rich in falconoid, antioxidants shown to reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol and increase “good” HDL levels.
Potatoes
One red potato contains 66 micrograms of cell-building foliate – about the same amount found in one cup of spinach or broccoli.
One sweet potato has almost eight times the amount of cancer-fighting and immune boosting vitamin A you need daily.
Salmon
A great source of omega- 3 fatty acids, which have been linked to reduced risk of depression, heart disease, and cancer.
A 3-ounce serving contains almost 50 percent of your daily dose of niacin, which may protect against Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss.
Walnuts
Contain the most omega 3-fatty acids, which may help reduce cholesterol, of all nuts.
Omega- 3s have been shown to improve mood and fight cancer; they may protect against sun damage, too (but don’t skip the SPF!).

Rich and healthy, satisfying fats proven in one study to lower cholesterol by about 22 percent.
One has more than half the fiber and 40 percent of the foliate you need daily, which may reduce your risk of heart disease.

Garlic is a powerful disease fighter that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, including E. coil.
Allicin, a compound found in garlic, works as a potent anti-inflammatory and has been shown help lower cholesterol and blood-pressure levels.
