The man must always be strong and healthy enough to feed the family. Or maybe smart enough to think about helping others (the real man to do so). All these physical or moral skills of good food. So what every man must have food in the fridge?
1. Frozen orange juice concentrate The vitamin C content of OJ plunges as soon as it leaves the factory — if it’s in a carton. Buy the frozen kind, and you stay ahead of your daily C needs.
2. 1% milk Loaded with Vitamin D and calcium. Sport your milk mustache with pride.
3. Almonds or walnuts An ideal midday snack high in vitamin E and fiber.
4. Berries Fresh or frozen, berries – choose your favorite kind – are loaded with antioxidants. Add them to a bowl of low-fat yogurt for a healthy, refreshing snack.
5. Cranberry juice The all-purpose mixer can keep your internal plumbing clean, thus helping to prevent urinary tract infections. When you’re not thirsty, go for dried cranberries..
6. Romaine lettuce Sounds ridiculously simple, but it’s an ideal base for your salad, especially if it’s of the Caesar variety. And this phytonutrient-dense leaf makes a great bread substitute if you’re cutting down on carbs.
7. Eggs The least expensive, most easily digested, highest-quality protein source out there: egg whites.
8. Avocado They’re high in total fat, but it’s mostly the good kind: monounsaturated. They’re also a great source of vitamin E.
9. Canned anchovies, sardines or herring A cheap, quick source of omega-3 fatty acids. Add the little fish to a salad or stuff them into a whole wheat pita sandwich. Good food, fast.
10. Broccoli This salad stalwart is a key cancer fighter and is loaded with fiber and phytonutrients.
