CORNS - Brain Booster
Corn played such an important role when America was developing its economy during the 1880s that it was dubbed “the backbone of the country”. And it is quite a booster for your brain as well! It is rich in thiamin, a compound essential for brain functions to prevent age-related impairment like Alzheimer’s disease. So don’t forget to include corn as part of your daily healthy diet!

SOY - Heart Helper
There’s a reason why Japan is one of the healthiest nations in the world, and that is soy. With variations from soy sauce, tofu to miso, the Japanese basically eat soy from breakfast, lunch to dinner. And it’s for a good reason too; the omega-3 fatty acid in soy lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and increase heart function by providing greater variability between beats, reducing the risk of getting a heart attack.

SPINACH - Energy Catalyst
While consuming spinach won’t give you super human strength, it is an excellent source of iron – an integral component of haemoglobin which transports oxygen from your lungs to every body cell. It is also a key enzyme system for energy production and metabolism to give you that extra spring in your step. Hmmm… maybe Popeye was right to eat spinach all these years.

KIWI - Vision Preserver
The kiwi fruit is from New Zealand? Wrong! They are actually natives of China, introduced to New Zealand in 1906, and named as kiwi fruit when imported to the US in the 1960s. Now, that is good marketing foresight from the Kiwis. And the fruit helps to keep your sight in good condition too; having 3 or more servings of kiwi per day may actually lower your risk of age-related vision loss.

GREEN TEA - Fat Fighter
A product of serendipity, tea was discovered in China when leaves from a wild tree fell into a pot of boiling water and the rest, well, is history. While tea in general is a healthy drink, green tea in particular contains more catechin polyphenols chemicals that act as a metabolism booster to help you fight that flab. So get yourself a magical brew today! And we’re not talking about those that come from a can.

LOW FAT CHEESE - Bone Builder
Cheese is such an influential food in French culture that a former French president once commented, “How can anyone govern a country that has 246 varieties of cheese?” Well, France now has an estimated 350-400 variety. Being an excellent source of calcium and protein, cheese is naturally the best food for maintaining the strength and density of your bone structure to prevent osteoporosis.
