5 FOODS that Fuel Your Body

Spinach - This leafy green is a slimming food that's bursting with health benefits. It's a powerful source of folate, a B vitamin that helps with weight loss, and it contains other micro-nutrients that have been linked with fighting cancer, preventing Alzheimer's, and protecting your liver.

Pistacios - While almonds receive all the attention, pistachios provide just as much fiber (3 grams) and the same amount of heart healthy fats. But the extra benefit: Pistachios are one of the lowest calorie nuts, and researchers have found that the process of removing the shells helps limit over-eating.

Yogurt - Research has discovered that consuming calcium through dairy products (like yogurt) may reduce the fat absorption of other foods, making it harder to gain weight. Just keep a close eye on how much sugar is in your favorite brand. Instead, opt for the Greek version, or stick with plain yogurt and add nuts or fruit for flavor.

Strawberries (and other berries) - Consider this the ultimate dessert. Researchers at the Salk institute recently discovered that a compound found in strawberries helps your body fight against diabetes and nervous system disorders. Even better, the sweetness can trick your taste buds and help lessen your cravings for sugar.

Lean Protein - Consider protein the building block of any good eating plan. Whether you prefer meat, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy or soy, make sure you include protein in each meal. University of Illinois researchers found that dieters who eat higher amounts of protein lose more fat and feel more satisfied than those who eat the lowest amount

Food You Should Not Refrigerate

Potatoes
Refrigeration adversely affects their flavor, so store in the pantry in paper bags (plastic bags trap moisture and speed decay). Most varieties should last three weeks.

Bread
The refrigerator dries it out fast. Instead, keep what you'll eat within four days at room temperature and freeze the rest.

Onions
They like their original mesh bag (or any bag that allows for air circulation) in the pantry. But keep them away from potatoes, which emit moisture and gases that can cause onions to rot.

Garlic
It will do well for two months in the pantry. Store loose, so air can move around it.

Tomatoes
They can get mealy in the fridge, so leave them on a counter, out of plastic bags. To speed ripening, store in a paper bag. Once ripe, they'll last for about three days.

Winter Squashes
Varieties such as acorn, butternut, delicata, and spaghetti will last for about a month or more in the pantry.

Hot Sauce
It can live happily in the pantry for up to three years.

Coffee
The fridge (and the freezer) create condensation, which can affect the flavor of both ground coffee and coffee beans. Coffee fares best in an airtight container in the pantry.

Most Risky Food to Eat

Tomatoes
This fruit is basically a berry, and although it is safe, it does contain glycoalkolids which are poisonous and can be harmful.

Chocolate
Chocolate has the alkaloid therbromine which can poison humans. However, it would take a massive quantity of chocolate to kill a person. But dogs, parrots, horses and cats can die just by swallowing even a small quantity.

Blowfish
The poison in this fish is 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. Japanese prize this fish as a delicacy. To acquire a license as a Fugu chef is a lengthy and exhaustive process. Passing the ultimate test includes the chef preparing Fugu and eating it himself. This is the one of the riskiest of foods. The parts that contain the most poison are the liver, muscles, ovaries and the skin.

Peanuts
This can be very deadly for humans that are allergic to it. The thing is to be careful of artificially flavored nuts because they might contain some other kind of nut that you might be allergic to.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms can be lethal. The most deadly types of mushrooms are the Death Cap, Destroying Angels and Deadly Webcap. These mushrooms contain several different kinds of poison, and even a single bite will kill a person in a horrible manner. The Gyomitra which is lethal is often mistaken for Morrel which is not deadly.

Tapioca
Tapioca contains cyanide whose originator linamarin does no harm when it is properly dried, soaked and baked.

Apricot Seeds
Most seed bearing fruits contain cyanogenetic glycosides which when eaten, discharge hydrogen cyanide gas. Seeds from apricots, cherries, apples, plums and peaches are included in this category. Although it would take a substantial amount of apricot seeds to kill person, keep this in mind when you decide to eat all the seeds of the apricots that you have just eaten. Many deaths have been reported of people who ate too many apricot seeds.

Potatoes
Potatoes are the most consumed vegetables in the world, but they too contain poisonous substances that can cause headaches, diarrhea, cramps and sometime even death. Potatoes exposed to light develop traces of solanine and turn green. Avoid eating potatoes that have turned green.

Shellfish
Shellfish poisoning is mostly caused by eating mussels, clams, oyster and scallops. Most shellfish are filter feeders and usually have high levels of poisonous substances; the most dangerous of them is domoic acid which is produced microscopic algae. Sometimes even cooking does not neutralize these poisonous substances.

Rhubarb
The reason that Rhubarb recipes usually contain the stem and not the leaves is because the leaves contain a lot more oxalate, which in large doses causes poisoning. The leaves are among the most risky of foods and should be avoided
