Healthy Food that help Reduce Illness

Eat an apple a day, keep the doctor away. How many times have you herd this saying? I know my mother use to say this all the time. I was never sure if she meant it, or was just trying to scare me a little. There is some truth to this saying though. Along with that apple, there are a number of other foods that can really help you with certain things.

Does your skin look dull during the day? Even with lotion you cant seem to get it glowing the way you would like it to? Try eating berries that are rich with antioxidants. Berries such as blackberries or raspberries. These are both really good choices. Try switching your food to whole grain food. This will help keep your blood sugar normal. When your blood sugar spikes it can damage collagen. Hence, making your skin look not so young and pretty.

Do have a hard time falling asleep? A lot of people in the world suffer from Insomnia. I have one that lives here, my Husband. It’s a horrible thing to suffer from, and something that you never really get use to. Try eating a banana every day. Since bananas are filled with vitamin B6, your more likely to get on a schedule. You should eat one every day though. B6 helps your internal clock. Which is the thing that tells you when you should fall asleep and when you should wake up again.

Cure that headache, or try and prevent it from even coming around. Headaches are one of the worst things you can get. They can prevent you from doing so many things. When your head hurts, seems like everything hurts as well. Black beans are great for headaches. Black beans are high in proteins, fiber and magnesium. All which can help you with your headache. Tuna which is loaded with omega-3s can also help your headache. Eating tuna just once a week, can help prevent them headaches from even showing up.
