Power foods are foods that provide rich levels of nutrients like fibre, potassium and
minerals. With people becoming increasingly health conscious today, a lot of finess
trainers encourage their clients to include these foods in their daily diet to increase
muscle development. There are various ways of incorporating power foods in your
daily diet. Of course, the key to enjoying power foods is proper preparation of these
foods, the use of season-fresh foods, and indentifying your choice of flavour among
power foods.
Some of the recommended power food combinations are those that are prepared in
our kitchens on a regular basis. Take for instance, the combination of chickpeas and
onions. This combination is a powerful source of iron which is required by the body to
transport oxygen to its various parts. Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia, fatigue,
brain fog and tiredness. A study by the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
says that sulphur compounds in onion and garlic help in the absorption of iron and
zinc from chickpeas. The combination is a hit with teenagers who need to be diligent
about getting iron in their diet. A quick way to prepare this power food is to make a
chickpea salad with chopped onions, chaat masala and cilantro.
Another favourite combination with power food takers is yoghurt and bananas. This
makes for a perfect snack after a rough game of football. Exercising bums glucose
and thus lowers blood sugar. Yoghurt is packed with proteins that help preserve
muscle mass, and bananas are packed with carbohydrates that help in refuelling
energy and preventing muscle soreness. A quick and easy recipe with bananas is a
banana smoothie topped with cool yoghurt.
Among beverages, green tea is the best source of catechins that are effective in
halting oxidative damage to cells. According to researchers at the Purdue University,
adding a dash of lemon juice to green tea makes the catechins even more easily
absorbable by the body. So, the next time you have instead of are friends serve them
rounds of iced green tea with mint and lemon juice.
