Protein
Fruits and Vegetables
Good carbohydrates
Low intake of fat
Eaten regularly, and in the right amounts, this diet will slow digestion which in turn increases metabolism. This healthy combination of foods promotes a diet rich with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which all help control disease while promoting healthy skin and bones.
Fruits and vegetables also help cleanse our body through a process known as detoxification. Detoxification is the natural metabolic process the human body employs to clean the toxins out of the system which, in turn, promotes a overall health.

By now everyone has heard the quote that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". Still many people tend to skip breakfast because they are bored with the same old cereals, or don't want to take the time to scramble an egg. Or, almost as bad, they hit the drive through on the way to work and pick up a sausage, egg, and cheese cholesterol bomb only to find they are tired and lethargic and hungry half way to lunch.
On the other hand making a sensible breakfast part of the morning routine has been shown to help lose weight and promote general overall health because of the additional calcium, fruits, and fiber in the diet.
Fruit Smoothies are a sensible and increasingly popular breakfast drink that are easy to make, delicious, and are a great source of the nutrients we all need such as proteins, omega 3's and vitamins to both boost our immune system and promote general overall health.
