What Are The 10 Healthiest Food On The Planet?

Recently, my office mate challenged me to name the 10 healthiest food. I found this very intriguing because, literally, there are thousands of food from which to choose! After pondering this question, it occurred to me that, most Americans get more than their fair share of meat and dairy products and thus, need no urging to include this food in their diets. We all know that excessive amount of fats, sugar and processed food are not good for us. This narrows our selection for the 10 healthiest food we should be consuming. While being ultra-rich in nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants, fruits and vegetables are perhaps the most neglected items on our menus.
Take a look at our list of 10 healthiest food and see if you do not agree that plenteous portions of these fruits and vegetables should not play a starring role at your table. You may be surprised to learn that each of this food has medicinal properties as well.
1. Berries: Nearly all berries are rejuvenating tonics for the heart and blood. Several studies have shown that a daily serving of berries, which is rich in potassium, can decrease the risk of stroke by as much as 40%. Most berries have antiviral properties in varying degrees and excellent as blood purifiers. It also work wonders for your complexion!
2. Broccoli: Like most dark, green leafy vegetables, broccoli is equally packed with nutrients and antioxidants. Broccoli has been shown to speed up the recovery period. Naturopathic physicians recommend generous daily servings of broccoli to patients recuperating from a lengthy illness.
3. Avocado: This fruit is reported to contribute in lowering blood cholesterol levels. In a V.A. Study, patients ranging from 27-72 years old were given 1/2-1 ¼ avocados each day. Around 50% of the patients experienced a decrease in serum cholesterol, ranging from 9-43%. Given that, we all need to monitor our cholesterol levels, and this tasty fruit deserves a spot on our list of 10 healthiest food. Avocado is also beneficial in cases of psoriasis and eases deep muscle inflammation.

Hypnosis — Some Facts

Hypnosis is one of the most debated upon and controversial topics. Unlike the popular belief hypnosis can not make you do anything you don’t want to do. It was widely believed that hypnotists can turn people into robotic creatures ready to obey their master’s order. But against all this cinematic notions, hypnotism cannot force anyone to do things against their will. You will still maintain your principles; Your sense of right and wrong will remain intact. Nobody can make you strip in front of a crowd – unless you want to. The hypnotist can only make suggestions that can alter your consciousness, making you more open and easily “manipulated” – to a certain extent.

People who have experienced stage hypnotism said that they can refuse to follow the hypnotist’s suggestions, just that “it’s easier to follow him.” This is so because the active, aggressive, decision-making part of the consciousness becomes timid when under a trance. So it is “easier” to just automatically respond to suggestions. To some extent, the hypnotist can control the actions and the way his subjects behave. Conversely, the effect of hypnosis also depends upon your motivation, willingness, and faith to make it work for you.You need only to be relaxed, aware, and willing to be hypnotized. Of course, the effects of hypnosis can rely on the hypnotist’s ability and experience; as well as the motivation and mental conditioning of the subject.

Food and Fitness go Hand in Hand

Any talk about fitness is not complete without a discussion of food and nutrition. It is important to recognize what our body needs as a bare minimum for it to function normally and in excess for any activities such as exercises.

Being both a foodie and an exercise addict (which I have to because I love food), I was intrigued by the notion of how good, or more precisely how healthy are the foods that you eat.

This was further triggered by a friend who recently started an exercise program asking me if I could list the 10 healthiest foods on planet earth.

I decided to take him up on the challenge and came up with a list. I was pleasantly surprised (being primarily a vegetarian myself) that most of these were either vegetables or fruits. Now, I am not discounting the value of high protein in meats, but many people do not realize that there are plenty of proteins in vegetarian foods as well, some in excess of most meats.
