QuestionCan you tell me if the head of the broccoli or the stalk is more healthy? Also, can you tell me what the top 10 best foods are to lose weight and help lower cholesterol?
thank you,
Landon"
AnswerHi, Landon
Let me answer your first question. The head and the stalk of broccoli have different vitamins and minerals. One is not better than the other. So, if at all possible, consume the whole thing. (It's one of my favorite veggies!)
Now, a list for top 10 foods to lose weight and lower cholesterol are:
1. Berries
2. Dairy
3. Fatty Fish
4. Dark, Leafy Greens
5. Whole Grains
6. Beans and Legumes
7. Nuts
8. Sweet Potatoes
9. Tomatoes
10. Eggs
Please note that this is not my list. For more information on these foods, visit http://www.weightlossmd.com/10_amazing_disease_fighting_foods.asp
I never tell people what they cannot eat, but there are a few food items on this list that I do not consume for various reasons.
Your health is up to you and you must decide what foods to include in your meal plan.
Hope this helps.
