Thursday Thirteen - 13 healthy foods I like to eat

Thirteen Healthy Foods I Like to Eat
1. Lean red beef
2.pistachios (lots of copper, B6 and they raise the “good”cholesterol)
3.Coffee! (Experts on an American Society for Nutrition panel recently concluded that drinking three to five 8-ounce cups a day lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and colon and liver cancers. “Among other things, the antioxidants in coffee protect your cells and DNA from damage,” Bowden says. “Coffee seems to increase antioxidants in the blood, too.”)
4. Oatmeal
5. Shrimp (Shrimp is also rich in cancer-fighting selenium and bone-building vitamin D.)
6.Dark chocolate (Also, eating up to 3.6 ounces daily can be as effective as beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors at lowering blood pressure, notes a recent Archives of Internal Medicine study.)
7. Fage Total 0% (fat) Greek style yogurt.
8. Pop Secret 100 Calorie microwave popcorn
9.Skinny Cow Low-Fat Ice Cream Sandwich (Vanilla)
10. Progresso Light Vegetable & Noodle Soup (well…any of the Progresso light soups)
11. McDonald’s Egg McMuffin! (surprised? Only 12 g. of fat and under 300 calories. Just right for breakfast on the run)
12. fat-free, sugar-free, sweetened with splenda Bluebunny superfruits yogurt (any flavor)
13. My favorite smoothie: skim milk, a scoop of Slim-fast shake mix and 1/2 cup of fruit. add ice and blend.
