Almonds
Super powers : Building muscle, fighting food cravings.
An ounce and a half of Almonds has nearly 8 grams of protein. Not bad for something that is all ready to eat. Studies have shown that people who eat Almonds in moderation have a decreased appetite.
Secret weapons :: Protein, monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, folate , fiber, magnesium, phosphorus.
All of which Fight against Obesity, heart disease, muscle loss, wrinkles, cancer, high blood pressure. They can help keep the arteries and veins clean so blood, oxygen, and nutrients can move throughout your body without a problem.
Sidekicks :: Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds.
Impostors :: Salted or smoked nuts. High sodium spikes blood pressure.
I always take a some with me to work so I have something to eat as a snack. My favorite snack to eat between meals is Almonds, blueberries and low fat cottage cheese.
