Power Foods Part 3

Here are the last four power foods.

Berries. They are very colorful and contain chemicals that act as antioxidants. Seek out whatever is in season, or in the frozen section, pick up blueberries, strawberries, cranberries and blackberries.
Oatmeal. It's the soluble fiber in oatmeal, oat bran or other whole grains that has been shown to reduce cholesterol and risk of heart disease.
Tomatoes. One word, Lycopene. The powerful antioxidants are more concentrated in cooked varieties.
Low-fat Milk or Yogurt. These dairy products are high in calcium, protein and vitamins A and D. If you don’t like milk, eat yogurt or low-fat cheese, or at least take calcium supplements.

All 10 of these will help keep you healthy and working toward all your weight loss goals.
