Are you bored with your limited food choices on your clean diet? Your health may be suffering too! Add these 5 super foods to your daily diet for better health and performance!It is pretty well established that to become healthy, strong and fit - which more often than not translates to enhanced self-esteem and good looks - a sound diet and properly structured exercise program is advised.

What is not commonly known, and which remains a pervasive misconception among those wanting optimal health and vitality, is nutrition's primary role in establishing the foundation from which cell rebuilding and repair is achieved.

To gain excellent health and all that stems from it - improved performance in the boardroom and on the sports field included - it is imperative that you do not neglect nutritional requirements. But you knew this, right?

Well it seems many within the health and fitness industry itself consider a diet low in calories - one that is restricted to a few select foods - optimal for the needs of the devoted fitness adherent, who incidentally creates massive free-radical assisted cellular damage every time they train at high levels of intensity. Is a lower calorie diet comprised of rice, tuna, chicken and baked potatoes along with the occasional salad thrown in for good measure enough? Probably not!

The active professional male who works out while maintaining an extensive social life, and who also wishes to stay in shape while experiencing optimal health, needs more in the way of nutritional variability and good place to start is with a complete re-evaluation of their nutritional status. Here they will often find the variety and nutritional composition of the meals they eat sorely lacking.

For example, it is not uncommon to find an athlete's diet centered on rice, pasta, chicken and fish. A review of such an eating plan will uncover serious nutritional deficits. And changing one's protein sources around or adding a few servings of fruits and vegetables per day - while strongly advised - is, though a good start, not ideal.
