Popcorn

Tired of not being able to enjoy some snacks while watching the game? Well you don’t have to be any more, that’s for sure. Popcorn gives you way more actual food for your calories than almost any other snack food.

Researchers found that popcorn contains more polyphenols than fruits like pears and apples. And it has about 1/2 the antioxidant content of walnuts and 2/3 that of peanuts.

Coffee

Let’s face it coffee is just plain awesome. I mean just take a short look at the research on it:

One body of research proposes that people who drink coffee may be less likely to have Type-II diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia.
Other studies theorize that people who drink coffee are less likely to have certain cancers, heart rhythm problems, or strokes. A 2009 study of 83,700 nurses enrolled in this long-term Nurses’ Health Study, found that those who reported drinking two or more cups of coffee daily showed a 20% lower risk of stroke than those who drank less coffee.
For a 2009 study from Finland and Sweden, researchers followed 1,400 people for 20 years. Those who drank 3-to-5 daily cups of coffee were 65% less likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease than non- or occasional coffee drinkers.
In a recent study of about 130,000 Kaiser Permamente health plan members, those who drank 1-to-3 cups of coffee per day were 20% less likely to be hospitalized for abnormal heart rhythms than nondrinkers.
In addition to all those health benefits, it’s effect as a stimulant gets you energized and makes you crave food less than almost anything else. And if that wasn’t enough, it even has diuretic effects that help you get rid of excess water, making you look ripped without even having to lose any fat.
