1. Baked Beans
Beans are magical for more than just the reason you’ve heard in the song.

Wow, that is awesome! Who cares if beans turns you into a stifling wind tunnel, that is better than getting cancer! What is wrong with going outside for some fresh air anyhow.
2. Porridge Oats
A bowl of porridge for your breakfast may not seem like the most inspiring choice for a delicious morning meal, but those tasty little oats are actually powerhouses of nutrition that can do everything from regulating your blood pressure, to reducing your fat, and fighting back against the primary causes of diabetes.
Oats are packed with soluble fibers that assist in preventing insulin spines, and slowing digestion. At the same time, most breakfast oats are also a rich source of magnesium, which can help to improve your sleep quality and relax the blood vessels in your body to regulate pressure.
3. Garlic
These little bulbs add a huge dose of flavor to most meals, but that’s not all they’re good for. In fact, adding a sprinkle of garlic to your meal is one of the easiest ways to give your dinner an amazing health kick. According to the journal of nutrition, the more garlic you eat, the more your risk of stomach cancer lowers.
At the same time, garlic is a natural antibiotic which is proven to reduce the amount of colds men suffer from every year. So say goodbye to the strain of man flu. What’s more, since garlic is also responsible for improving circulation to certain areas, it also makes up a natural alternative to the bedroom little blue pill.
It can also keep away any vampires! Now if they would just stop making those goofy Twilight movies that would be even better.
4. Peanut Butter
This childhood natural favorite holds so many nutritional benefits that you’d be nuts to avoid it. As well as being an incredible source of healthy fats, peanut butter slathered on a couple of rice cakes in the morning will provide you with an impressive dose of zinc and vitamin E. While zinc has been connected to lower instances of depression, vitamin E helps to reduce your risk of death from cardiovascular disease by as much as 24%. In other words, peanut butter is a poignant solution for the body and the mind.
Peanut butter is also awesome with honey. A peanut butter honey burrito (flower tortilla) or sandwich is just incredible. You can microwave this ?burrito? for about 27 seconds and you have a fantastic snack or desert, either one!
5. Eggs
It doesn’t matter how you like to eat them, as long as you try to stay away from some of the unhealthiest options. Eggs are low in calories, high in protein, and packed with nutrients designed to boost your health, such as choline and vitamin D. While choline is the substance that helps to de-scramble your mind and put some energy back into your liver after a particularly boozy night out, vitamin D helps to reduce body fat and blood pressure.
6. Tinned Tuna
Finally, just because it comes in a tin doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy. Since red meat has been in the firing line lately when it comes to sources of health danger, this high-protein alternative to your average steak is the perfect way to add something incredible to your packed lunch. One tin generally contains about 56% of your standard daily protein intake as recommended by experts, as well as the vitamin Niacin, which helps to maintain healthier levels of HDL cholesterol. Just try to pick the options that are stored in spring water, instead of oil, as they provide more benefits for your heart.
