Food that benefits us

I'm gonna take a break from architecture and write something that is easy to implement everyday. So we eat a lot of food right? Then we have to really know what is best for us by now. Hmm, not really apparently. Humans are at the top of the food chain and we just eat everything, just as the Chinese proverb "We eat everything that has legs, except tables..."
So for this post, I have a piece of advice I'd like to share with you, compiled from 3 websites I stumbled upon.

MY TOP PICKS


1. Flaxseed - apparently has one of the highest Omega-3 source other than fish. Recommended as alternative to fishes. The oil that comes from flaxseed will also help to mosturise our skin from the inside. How to eat it? Daily take 2.0-2.5grams (1/2 - 1 teaspoon) and feel the difference in approximately 6 weeks.

2. Green tea - one keyword you need to know: ECCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) or catechin. Almost all tea has this ingredient, green tea has the most. Catechin degrades with when the temperature is cooling so its good to have your tea while its hot! Green tea has lower caffeine level too. Other properties that makes this tea a must in our pantry are: anti-aging, prevents skin cancer, lion-tamer effect on tumor cells and stress relieve. Dosage per day? 2-6 cups a day will get the catechin moving.

3. Almond - a traditional favourite this one, it is not a nut, it is seed! Its loaded up with Vitamin E, a sunblocker property that will make give your skin a good shield against the sun. How much to eat it? It was proven that 20 almonds a day (about 14 miligrams) make you get less sunburned than a person who doesn't take any almonds.
