Common Foods that Are Wonderful for Your Body

Lean pork (such as roasts, pork chops, and similar dishes) are chock-full of B vitamins that help fight stress and provide extra energy and aid in cellular metabolism. Pork also contains a good amount of choline, an important (debatably vital) neurotransmitter that enhances cells' abilities to communicate amongst themselves.

High levels of choline from the diet have been shown in clinical university studies to result in a lower buildup of homocysteine, a chemical in your blood that has been linked to cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks, neurological problems such as dementia, and rogue-cell problems such as cancer and oxidation of cells.

Note, though, that it would be unwise to get your lean pork from sources such as bacon or sausage, as they are often loaded with saturated fat, and, many times, contain preservatives, the negative effects of which outwight the positives of eating the pork products.

One or two shots of espresso (which equates to about one or two cups of coffee, respectively) between breakfast and lunch is often a good idea for many people, as research is pretty much unanimous that the caffeine present in coffee enhances physical and mental performance in moderate, controlled amounts.
However, the one-or-two shots of espresso may be too much for you, depending on your body weight and composition. As a general rule of thumb, don't drink so much that you get jittery and nervous. Including some coffee and green tea in your diet can help make you feel a lot better. Be careful about getting addicted though.

Eggs are wonderful. Our ancestors've been eating them for countless years, and now with modern science we better understand just what's so great about them.

Here's a trip: Dietary cholesterol does not affect serum cholesterol. In plain English, that means that the cholesterol you take in from food (ie, egg yolks) will not affect the cholesterol levels in your blood, those levels that show up on cholesterol screenings.
