Most Effective Foods That Can Save Your Life

The foods that we often feel guilty about eating can help to save your life. ‘What the health! Food can save your life?’ It certainly can, and it gets even better; when we talk of life-saving foods, we aren’t limited to the obvious healthy foods: fruit and veg. Here’s the refreshing approach to healthy eating.

Your eating habits can have a profound effect on your overall health and well-being. Filling your diet with junk foods can rob of you certain nutrients and make you feel rundown and fatigued. Nutritious foods, however, supply you with nutrients and energy you need for good health. In fact, adding certain foods, such as fruits and vegetables, to your daily eating plan might also help save your life.  
 
Cranberries

It would take a long time to list the many health benefits of cranberries but, in short, this tiny fruit is a life-saver (literally) when it comes to the health. Indeed, the little cranberry is full of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and immune-boosting properties, as well as being jam-packed full of phytonutrients.

Fibrinogen

Fibrinogen is a protein in your blood that helps blood clot. But too much fibrinogen can cause a clot to form in an artery, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Having too much fibrinogen may also mean that you have atherosclerosis. It may also worsen existing injury to artery walls.

Chia Chia

Chia Chia contains essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6. These fatty acids can not be synthesized by the bodies, and we need them to maintain a sufficient amount of immune, cardiovascular, nervous and reproductive system.

Kale

Kale is arguably among the most nutritious vegetables you can eat, calorie for calorie.A 100 gram serving of Kale contains only 50 calories and 10 gram carbs (2 of which are fiber).It contains 10 times the RDA of Vitamin K1, 2 times the RDA for Vitamin C and 3 times the RDA for Vitamin A (from beta-Carotene).

Watercress

This tasty green always ranks high on the super foods lists and it’s really no surprise. A single cup of watercress give you more than your daily recommended intake of vitamin K, which regulates the body’s blood clotting ability and reduces plaque on the walls of the arteries. It can also lower inflammation in the body, which is linked to many chronic diseases, such as arthritis.
