A middle of the day slump is a great time to work in something off the SuperFood List....
Apples Each delicious apple provides 5 grams of fiber and an abundance of antioxidants, which may support cardiovascular health.
Beans A great low-fat, low-calorie source of protein and an easy way to help control your weight and your blood sugar. Soluble fiber from beans as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Beans also supply us with B Vitamins, Iron, Folate, Potassium, Magnesium and Phytonutrients.
Blueberries Deliciously blueberries contain antioxidant compounds that reduce free-radicals in the body, which may help to slow the aging process.
Chocolate (Dark) Lots of antioxidants, also contains substances similar to heart-healthy compounds in tea. The latest research looks at flavanols which help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. Make sure your chocolate is high quality (complex sugars) and does not contain hydrogenated and saturated fats.
Cinnamon A USDA study showed half a teaspoon a day lowers blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and brought down bad cholesterol.
Citrus Oranges, grapefruits and tangerines, contain flavonoids that are unique to the citrus family. Naringin produced in grapefruits and hesperidin found in oranges are both powerful antioxidants. Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, folic acid and potassium.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties and low-grade inflammation has been implicated in many diseases, like heart disease, colon cancer and Alzheimer's. The greener the olive oil, the better.
Vegetables Broccoli, kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts are members of the Brassica oleracea italica family. They are a good source of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. Some of the best foods available that are thought to prevent cancer.
Super Greens Wheat grass, spirulina, chlorella and barley grass are rich in protein and carotenoids, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Support your health every day with the healthy nutrients of green foods.
Green Leafy Vegetables Spinach, kale, Swiss chard and romaine lettuce each contain beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, vitamin B and minerals, adding leafy greens to your diet, will do wonders for your health and your eyes.
Honey Full of B-complex vitamins, amino acids and enzymes, raw honey is tasty and a great substitute for refined sugars.
Kiwifruit A single Kiwifruit packs as much vitamin C as an orange and helps to thin the blood.
Nuts & Seeds Roasted, toasted or raw, nuts and seeds are a delicious source of protein and fiber. Nuts pack a nutritious punch with heart-healthy monosaturated oils, vitamins and minerals. Eating one and a half ounces per day of nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Oats Soluble fiber from foods, such as oats, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Fish Wild salmon and tuna contain beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
Orange Vegetables Pumpkins, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and carrots contain high levels of beta-carotene. A beneficial nutrient found in fruits and vegetables, beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A, giving the body an antioxidant boost.
