Lets face it, most of us want to lose weight because we want to look good, we want to look sexy, we want to look younger and we want to feel great. There are other reasons like health, but for me and I think for most people out there, it is really about looking and feeling great.

That is why we are looking at foods that defy the effects of aging and make one look and feel young. I would much rather eat my way to a better health and a better looking skin than having to do it through medicine or surgery. And the best part of it, it will save me lots of money on doctors medical bills. We all age differently, and yes your genes do play a role. However, your lifestyle and the foods you put into your body play a bigger role, and you can slash your age by 10 years, just by changing your lifestyle habits.

We already know that fruits and vegetables play an extremely important role, as well as grains, minerals, protein and fats, among other things. Let us zoom in on 4 foods that you should get in your nutrition today:

Carrots – contain a lot of beta carotene, which is a strong antioxidant, and it contains more goodness in the form of vitamins A, B1 and B2, C and E, as well as potassium and calcium. Carrots improve the skin, the hair and the nails. They also lower the cholesterol and the blood pressure among other great health benefits.

Cucumber – these have vitamins and minerals that promote cell regeneration, and that is great news for you and me  because they are great for anti-aging. They are not only great for you when you eat them, but they are also wonderful for your skin when used externally, as well as the eyes. Cucumbers soothes and softens the skin, and it is the best help when it comes to removing the dark circles under your eyes.

Apples – Apples really do keep the doctor away. Apples are a great anti-aging food because apples prevent wrinkles and other skin damages. They are packed with vitamins A and C, and they contain a lot of fiber. The health benefits found in apples are numerous and they include lowering the cholesterol, reduce cancers, helps maintain good liver condition, reduce heart disease, improves ones vision among many many more. Need I say more about apples, they are convenient and they make great in between meal snacks.

Strawberries – I love berries, any kind of berries, and strawberries are no exception. They are said to be the only fruit that have their seeds on the outside – talk about being special! They contain fiber, vitamin C, potassium and folic acid. Strawberries are what I call power fruits because they are packed with so much goodness, you’d be sabotaging your health if you didn’t include them in your nutrition. Besides the anti-aging benefits, they also protect you from cancer, cardio vascular disease, lower cholesterol levels, help prevent Rheumatoid arthritis, help prevent skin damage caused by the sun and many more.

Now you know, start improving your health today with these great foods.

To be honest, for years I thought these foods were healthy and good for my body, how wrong and shocked was I when I learned the real truth.

The two foods on the spotlight are wheat products and fruit juice! I can almost see your eyes popping out of their sockets in disbelief! Do not worry, it is the same reaction I had when I first heard this.

Wheat products, which include most breads, cereals, pasta, bagels and so forth, are believed to be healthy by a lot of people. An article that I have read by Mike Geary (Certified Nutrition Specialist) suggests that a lot of people have  some level of intolerance to the gluten that is found in wheat and some grains. Gluten intolerance usually causes an extreme physical reaction when ingesting gluten and can cause one to damage their intestines and can cause a poor absorption of minerals and vitamins.

It is said that people who take out wheat products off their nutrition for a couple of weeks almost always see a faster loss in weight, and their indigestion and headaches get under control. So if you are consuming large amounts of wheat, stay off it for a while and enjoy the benefits of consuming less wheat.

When it comes to fruit, do not get it twisted, fruit is very good for you, it is consuming the juice instead of the actual fruit that will make you fat. Let me try and explain this, it is when you over consume the juice that gets squeezed out of the fruit and this causes the fiber to get left behind  in the fruit. Because the fiber gets left behind, you will not experience the full effect that fiber normally gives you because you are only consuming the juice. Secondly, the blood sugar response will be quick when you drink the fruit juice instead of consuming the actual fruit, because the juice will be lacking in fiber.

So now you know, if you over consume fruit juices instead of eating the actual fruit, it will make you fat. Eating whole fruits is great for a healthy overall nutrition. And you know the effects of eating wheat on your body and your weight.

If you want the REAL truth about using your nutrition for fat loss, learn these tips for losing body fat the fast way.
