I have handpicked
a few “power foods”, which normally forms a part of our diet. The more of these
foods you eat, your body will be able to pack on lean muscle mass and burn fat.
They have also been proven to offer a multitude of other health benefits. Try and
add a few in your regular diet and watch your fitness levels shoot up!!
Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter, is a great source of protein and is rich in monosaturated fats. It boosts testosterone which in turn builds muscle and burns fats. It helps to fight obesity, muscle loss, wrinkles and cardiovascular disease. Another good thing about peanuts (and all kinds of nuts, for that matter) is that they are good sources of fiber. The soluble fiber in peanuts helps control blood glucose and prevents dietary fat and cholesterol from entering the bloodstream, while insoluble fiber helps speed food through your digestive track. Peanut Butter is also loaded with the amino acid arginine, which helps relax blood vessels for better blood pressure control; for strength trainers it connotes bigger and better pumps.

Curd
Curd is a great
source of calcium and phosphorous, which essentially means strong teeth and
bones. Besides that curd contains good bacteria. This is critical for the
smooth functioning of the digestive system and prevention of diarrhoea and
related problems. Curd or Yogurt aids repair of gastro-intestinal ulcers and
also helps prevent colon cancer. It is easier to digest than milk, and is a
great source of protein.
Olive oil
One of the healthiest vegetable oils; olive oil is a staple in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. It’s rich in monounsaturated fat, which causes less hardening of the arteries than other fats, and it contains polyphenols, potent antioxidants that may lower blood pressure.
