We always hear about how Mother Nature and natural foods can help your body do all sorts of things: lose weight, get more energy, etc. Well, here are foods that can actually save your life.  Seriously.

Arugula

Why it’s life saving: Arugula has one of the highest nitrate levels of any leafy green, helping to ­increase blood flow and therefore enhance performance.

How to eat it: Arugula can be slightly bitter, so dress it in a salad with a fruity vinaigrette to counter the bite.
