鲜为人知但极其有益健康的食物

Lesser Known Foods To Boost Your Health

You may not have them on your shopping list, but these extra ingredients could bump your health meter up a few notches.

Not only are they not really staple items, they are amongst the healthiest foods around, according to Men’s Health.


Guava

Guava is an obscure tropical fruit that’s subtly acidic, with sweetness that intensifies as you eat your way to the center.

Why it’s healthy: Guava has a higher concentration of lycopene — an antioxidant that fights prostate cancer — than any other plant food, including tomatoes and watermelon. In addition, 1 cup of the stuff provides 688 milligrams (mg) of potassium, which is 63 percent more than you’ll find in a medium banana. And guava may be the ultimate high-fiber food: There’s almost 9 grams (g) of fiber in every cup.

How to eat it: Down the entire fruit, from the rind to the seeds. It’s all edible — and nutritious. The rind alone has more vitamin C than you’d find in the flesh of an orange. You can score guava in the produce section of higher-end supermarkets or in Latin grocery stores.

你的购物清单上可能没把它列在其中，但它对你的健康极其有益。据《时尚健康.男士》杂志声称，不仅仅是因为它不太常见，而是因为它是最有益健康的食物之一。

番石榴：它是一种鲜为人知热带水果，吃起来酸中带甜，促使你吃到果实的中间部分。

它为何有益健康：番石榴富含一种能抗前列腺癌的番茄红素，而且含量比其他任何食物都要高，包括西红柿和西瓜。另外，一杯番石榴汁所含的钾要比在半熟的香蕉多63%，番石榴还是高纤食物，每杯番石榴汁就含有9克的纤维。

如何食用：整个番石榴，从外壳到籽全都能吃，而且还很有营养。它的外壳比一个鲜橙所含的维他命C都要多。番石榴在大型超市或者拉丁人开的杂货店就能买到。
