Best Fitness FoodsLast we started off our post on best fitness foods for women with all the usual foods you’d expect to see on a list like this.  Today we’re going to take a look at the underdogs, the ones that no one saw coming.

 

 

Best Fitness Foods For Women: The Underdogs

Honey has been prescribed as a throat soother for years.  This is because it naturally contains anti-bacterial properties, which can help fight against coughs and sore throats.

Non-hydrogenated, Virgin Coconut Oil is the biggest surprise I’ve found yet.  This food is amazing, and in my opinion, the number one contestant in best fitness foods for women.  Here’s a (shortened) list of all the ways that this coconut oil is good for you. 

  • Supports immune system and thyroid function
  • Lowers bad cholesterol
  • Increases metabolism and enhances weight control
  • Contains antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties
  • Improves digestion and can dissolve kidney stones
  • Helps prevent tooth decay and can reduce epileptic seizures

Pumpkins are not just for carving silly faces or making Thanksgiving pies.  Their high beta-carotene content makes them great for improving eyesight and skin, as well as reducing the chances of breast cancer.

Olive Oil is another surprise on the best fitness foods for women list.  This oil contains oleic acid, an important component in keeping in check the very genes responsible for nearly thirty percent of all breast cancer cases.

Olives, on the other hand, are high in iron (important for women of child-bearing age), and are known for being anti-inflammatory. Similarly, Green Tea is also anti-inflammatory.

Rhubarb is important for women approaching, or in the middle of, menopause.  This delicious vegetable is considered a best fitness food for women because it’s known for helping to reduce hot flashes.

Buckwheat, famous in pancakes, has become a best fitness food for women contender for chock full of amino acids and protein, and for it’s job in stabilizing blood sugar levels.  Buckwheat can also reduce high blood pressure.

We’ve included a couple of herbs on the best fitness foods for women list:

Cinnamon is another stabilizer of blood sugar, which is good especially for those with type two diabetes.  It’s also touted for helping women lose weight.

Turmeric is another herb that’s beneficial, and is often used to help treat arthritis.

Potatoes, you wouldn’t expect to be known as a best fitness food for women given their simple sugar content, but as it turns out, when mixed with a pinch of salt, they can be great at replacing electrolytes that have been lost.  Potatoes with a dash of salt will also aid in maintaining a proper fluid balance internally.

The delicious cousin of onions, shallots are a wonderful addition to the best fitness foods for women list, for aiding elimination of impurities from the liver, as well as promoting necessary digestive bacteria.

Raw Cocoa Nibs, the precursor to chocolate, are loaded with anti-oxidants and will help out your heart.  They’ll also lift up your mood and help create a sense of well-being.

Lastly, Gogi Berries pack a powerful punch.  A single berry possesses more beta-carotene than carrots, and more Vitamin C than one orange. There you have it folks, the most unusual, and the most known foods that are considered a best fitness food for women.  To receive all the benefits of these foods, consume them in moderation and as fresh as possible.

The DASH Diet (dietary approaches to stop hypertension) is one method. This diet aims to reduce high blood pressure by reducing your intake of fat, sodium, and alcohol.
