Here at the Clear Essence California

The Vineyard, a restaurant in Lagos,
Nigeria, prepares meals with fresh

Here are some foods and their benefits to
help improve your over-all health
3. Fruits
Most of us know that fruits are delicious but
what some people don’t know is that fruits
are packed with a wide range of nutrients is
very vital to our health. Research has shown
that people who eat fruits and stick to
healthy diets are at lower risks of certain
chronic diseases including: heart disease,
heart attack, and some fruits are even known
to help reduce the risk of certain types of
cancers.
4. Super Fruits
Avocados, which are known for their high fat content,
are a great source of glutathione.
Glutathione is an antioxidant that decreases
inflammation and improves overall hormone function.
Pomegranates are not only delicious; they are also
known to contain high levels of antioxidants which can
help keep the cardiovascular system healthy.
Not only are Blueberries high in antioxidants, they
are also one of the top disease fighting fruits.
5. Vegetables
Vegetables, although not as sweet as
fruits, are very beneficial to our health.
A healthy diet rich in fruits and
vegetables, and when combined with regular
exercise, has been shown to reduce the
risk of heart attack and stroke.
6. Benefits of Vegetables
Most vegetables contain the same great benefits of
fruits. Vegetables, when consumed daily and as a
part of a balanced diet, have been shown to reduce
the risk of certain types of cancers.
Some vegetables are rich in fiber which can help
regulate your digestive systems and reduce the
risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Some vegetables such as asparagus are high in
potassium and vitamin B12, which is important for
cell repair and maintenance.
7. Nuts
Like fruits and vegetables, different
types of nuts contribute to enhancing our
health. Most nuts are beneficial to us
because they are loaded with fiber,
essential fats, and protein to help combat
diseases.
8. Super Nuts
Almonds are high in calcium, so if you are not getting
your recommended dose of calcium from dairy products
consider incorporating almonds into your diet. Almonds
also contain vitamin E which helps improve the skin’s
condition.
Cashews are a great source of zinc and iron, and they
are rich in protein. Cashews also contain mineral
magnesium which is speculated to improve your memory.
Walnuts contain high levels of vitamin E and omega-3
fatty acids, and have been shown to enhance heart
health.
