10 Mega Foods To Help You Heal

Life can get pretty hectic.

And sometimes it feels like a second doesn’t pass where we’re not juggling several tasks at once as we desperately try to strike off our to-do list, even though we know that we should Focus On One Thing At A Time.

So it’s no surprise that most people don’t even give a second thought to what they put inside their bodies – even when they know it may not be the healthiest option.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a similar position, then you definitely want to check out Dr. Fabrizio Mancini‘s incredible guide on 10 mega foods to help you heal and that you want to incorporate into your diet right now.

Here they are:

1. Apples

They are high in fiber for a healthy digestive system.  They also reduce the risk of stroke and chances of dying of a heart attack.

2. Artichokes

They protect the liver against toxic build-up. They also reduce levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, because they are rich in antioxidants.

3. Avocados

They are loaded with powerful antioxidants that help the body get rid of cancer-causing substances .
 They also help reduce total cholesterol.

4. Beets

They are loaded with folic acid, an important B vitamin that protects against heart disease and cancer. It also appears to help prevent the formation of LDL cholesterol.

5. Blueberries

They help your brain to produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, coordination, and feelings of well- being. They also may prevent the growth of breast cancer cells.

6. Broccoli

They help fight cancer and are loaded with vitamin C to boost the immune system. They also help normalize blood pressure and are rich in fiber for a healthy digestive system.

7. Cherries

They help kill cancer cells that shrink the pancreas, breast, and liver.  They are also high in melatonin, a hormone that helps normalize sleep cycles. Melatonin also acts like an antioxidant that protects cell membranes from damage.

8. Chicory

Toss some chicory in your salads. This cousin of endive and escarole has more vitamin A than any other salad green. Just a quarter cup of raw chicory greens provides all you need daily. Vitamin A is another potent self-healer, vital for a healthy immune system and protecting your vision. Most of the vitamin A in chicory comes from beta-carotene. This is a cancer-fighting carotenoid that your body converts to vitamin A.

9. Coconut Oil

For years, we’ve been cautioned to avoid tropical oils because they’re high in artery-clogging saturated fats. But often yesterday’s nutritional bad guy is today’s nutritional hero, and that’s the case with coconut oil. It has immune-stimulating properties, thanks to lauric acid, a fatty acid in the oil. Lauric acid fights viruses and bacteria in the body. Like most oils, coconut oil is high in calories, so don’t overdo it. A teaspoon or two a day is all you need.

10. Cranberries

This Thanksgiving dinner staple doubles as a natural remedy for many ailments. One of the most common is urinary infections. Cranberries work by keeping harmful bacteria from sticking to the lining of the urinary tract. The active ingredient in cranberries is a group of phytochemicals called proanthocyanins. If you suffer from recurrent bladder infections, try drinking about eight ounces of cranberry juice that contains at least 27 percent juice. This recommendation is based on a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). [Read More…]
