Green tea: Drink 1-3 cups per day. From cancer
prevention to weight loss to potentially slowing the development of Alzheimer's, green tea has been shown to help fight almost every major
medical ill. Hot or cold, there's almost nothing better you can drink.
Eggs: Eat three to seven eggs per week. An egg a day is okay. Here's why: Eggs contain a
heavy-hitting four grams of pure muscle-building amino acids inside every shell, in addition to
boasting some of the highest naturally available doses around of a vitamin called choline, which is thought to help enhance memory. They're the
gold standard in terms of providing all the right nutrients for muscle growth.
Milk: Get three servings of dairy per day. You know milk does a body good, but you may not
know that skipping dairy makes your body angry, sort of. When you're not getting enough, your
body releases hormones that cause your cells to retain calcium-and fat, says Michael Zemel, Ph.D., director of The Nutrition Institute at the
University of Tennessee. Calories still count, so you should drink your milk by the glass rather than the gallon. But just make sure you get some.
Water: Drink eight 8-oz glasses per day. You know you need to be drinking more water, and
for good reason. Water flushes toxins from your system, regulates body temp, acts as an
insulator for joints, prevents kidney stones, and supplies the body with a raft of crucial minerals. Without water, none of the other super-foods would matter.
Although water helps in every way, it may be at its most powerful when it comes to weight loss. Drinking a glass or two of water a half hour or
so before mealtime, for example, can help take the edge off your hunger.
