The Perfect Meal To Boost Your Health

By: Ryan Cote

Good nutrition is vital to a strong and healthy mind and body.
It's true what they say - you are what you eat.

This statement points out very effectively that if you feed your
body with low nutritional and sugary garbage, your body has
nothing to work with and you'll end up eventually feeling like
garbage.

On the other hand, if you nourish your body with food that is
packed with nutrients such as vitamins, fiber, healthy fats,
whole grains and omega-3's, you'll notice a huge difference in
how you look and feel...especially if you make this type of food
a dietary habit.

Right now we're at a crossroad - we know we should be eating
better, but there are so many restaurants available offering
"bad" food and it's making the obesity rate skyrocket. Even
restaurants that offer fish platters and other health-conscious
meals end up not so good because of the amount of calories you
ingest between the bread, large portions and dessert.

You have two options:

1. Stay away from fast rood restaurants - and when you eat out
at restaurants, be strict about what you eat. Stay away from the
bread and don't finish everything on your plate...bring the rest
home for a meal you can eat the next day.

2. Make a meal at home yourself using ingredients you buy at the
grocery store, not frozen entrees.

The focus of this article is on number two because by making
your own meal, you can control exactly what goes into it. The
end result is a meal that you know is nutritious and NOT packed
with health-deteriorating ingredients.

Here's an example of the perfect meal you can make at home. It
has everything you need for better health.

What you'll need is:

1 9-10 ounce bag of baby spinach 1 can of wild Alaskan pink
salmon 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil 1-2 teaspoons of balsamic
vinegar 1/2-3/4 cup of brown rice

Here's a breakdown of each food's health benefits:

Spinach - this green leaf is packed with phytonutrients,
vitamins and fiber - and it's low in calories.

Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon - yes, canned! It tastes better than
you think. The reason this is recommended is because the food is
a powerhouse of good fats, protein and omega-3's and is low in
calories and carbohydrates. The salmon you would normally buy is
potentially high in mercury, which is bad. This Wild Alaskan
form is free of mercury...and it's inexpensive.

In case you're wondering, Omega-3's are vital for healthy weight
loss, brain health and a healthy cardiovascular system.

Olive Oil - full of good fat which your body does need. When you
buy olive oil, make sure it's 100% authentic. Some brands are
now mixing olive oil with refined oils...the end result is olive
oil, but not really.

Balsamic Vinegar - vinegar reportedly controls your blood sugar
level when eating which is important for overall health.
Furthermore, it gives the meal more taste.

Brown Rice - whole grains are full of vitamins and fiber. Check
out Uncle Ben's instant brown rice...it's pretty good and quick
to make.

Making the meal is easy. You simply lay the spinach out on a
platter- you can more or less use however much you want- and
drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the
spinach.

Let this sit for 10 minutes or so- this gives the spinach a
chance to soak up the oil and vinegar. While this is sitting,
cook the brown rice and open up the can of salmon.

When ready, simply spread the salmon over the spinach and put
the brown rice either on the side or in a separate bowl.

And now the best part of all - ENJOY!

This meal will take you 15 minutes max to make and each bite
will nourish your body from the inside out. And once you get
used to eating healthy, you'll find yourself experimenting with
all types of different meals.

there are many many more!
