Body for Life is an intense exercise and nutrition program based on the premise that you’re more likely to stick with a diet and workout if you see results quickly.

2. Finding healthiest foods
Choosing nutritious foods
helps your health in two
ways. First, a diet packed
with fiber-rich fruits and
vegetables, lean proteins and
healthy fats helps you feel
fuller on fewer
calories, which is key in
keeping your weight in check.
Plus, antioxidants and other
beneficial compounds in
foods offer unique health
boons. Keep your body
looking its best inside and out
with these five foods.

3. Green Beans
Eating green beans, and
other high-fiber
foods, can help you
prevent weight gain or
even promote weight
loss without dieting.
Raspberries, chickpeas
and strawberries can also
help you get your fill.

4. Salmon & Blueberries
The omega-3 fatty acids in
oily fish such as salmon
and tuna can boost your
skin’s defenses against UV
damage. Eating just under
a cup of mixed berries daily
for 8 weeks was associated
with increased levels of
“good” HDL cholesterol
and lowered blood
pressure two positives
when it comes to heart
health.

5. Watermelon
Watermelon, helps keep you
satisfied on fewer calories. At
92 percent water, watermelon
is a good source of vitamin C.
When it’s the red variety, it
also has Lycopene, an
antioxidant that may help
protect against heart disease
and some types of cancer.
Eating more vitamin-C rich
foods, such as
oranges, tomatoes, strawberri
es and broccoli, may be a
secret to smoother skin.
