Cooking Light Magazine has announced its list of the ‘Top 8 foods to Love in 2008.’ I particularly like 1 and 6.
Cooking Light, the world’s largest food and healthy lifestyle title, has named the top 8 must-eat foods as well as 8 super tips to help you live well.
1. Coffee: Caffeine consumption not only increases alertness and improves performance but may also protect memory.
2. Farmed Atlantic Salmon: Salmon ranks highest in omega-3 fatty acids, shown to lower the risk of fatal heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, depression and cognitive decline.
3. Milk: Dairy products offer a package deal of phosphorous and calcium to benefit hair and skin.
4. Edamame: Soy protein has been shown to boost collagen levels and improve skin elasticity.
5. Kale: Those leafy greens deliver plenty of vitamin K in addition to vitamins E, C, and folate for bone strength.
6. Chocolate: Crave-worthy cocoa and dark chocolate are both good sources of beneficial antioxidants.
7. Flaxseed: Adding a tablespoon of flaxseed instantaneously adds omega-3 fats, lignans and fiber to any food, such as muffins, salads or yogurt.
8. Eggs: Eggs are not only high in calcium and quality protein, but also provide biotin, a structural component of both bone and hair.
