Avocado

Avocados are one of the tastiest and most flexible treats in the produce section. These little fruits are used by the handful in many Mexican dishes and they are also the core ingredient in guacamole. Fortunately for us avocados are flexible enough to be used in just about any dish. They are full of monosaturated fats and they can be eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Monosaturated fats, the healthy kind, helps to improve your blood flow and thus give your body all sorts of vascular benefits. Fry up an egg and throw a few scoops of avocado on your sandwich for a great breakfast combo. Otherwise think about incorporating healthy guacamole if you plan on having chips, instead of excess sour cream or other chunky and calorie filled salsas. To make this simple guacamole all you need to do is smash some ripe avocado, add a tiny spoonful of sour cream, and then add a squirt of lime. Mix and mush it together til you get the consistency that you prefer and then serve it with a bag of salt-free chips.

For this food you will have to sacrifice your good breath for a strong brain. Garlic can be added into your diet in order to help fight off various forms of brain cancer, as written by the American Cancer Society. Researchers found that the sulfur compounds in garlic actually helped to kill glioblastoma cells. You can get garlic extract, or fresh stuff right out of the produce section, and immediately add it to just about any dish that you want. Making whole wheat pasta, which also is a brain boosting food, with a few cloves of garlic can make for a fantastic and filling treat that helps your brain and your stomach as well!
