As most know I am a cancer fighter, and extremely into fitness and health, so I am going to share some
new information with you all.
This some may already know, but what do you really know about the foods that you eat and love???
1. Almonds and other nuts (eat them with skins in tact)
Superpowers: building muscles, and fighting food cravings
Fight against: Obesity, heart disease, muscle loss, cancer
eat as much as 2 handfuls a day. If you eat about 2 ounces (bout 24) almonds each day, it suppresses your appetite
especially if you wash them down with water....
For a quick popcorn alternative, spray a handful of almonds with a nonstick cooking spray and bake them at 400 degrees F for 5 to 10 minutes...
take them out of the oven and sprinkle them with either a brown sugar and cinnamon mix or cayenne pepper and thyme.
2. Beans and other Legumes (including soybeans, chickenpeas, pinto beans, navy beans, kidney beans, lima beans)
