Super foods are Hiding in Your Fridge
The easiest and most straightforward way of giving yourself energy, preserving your body and losing weight is probably available at your neighborhood food store, or it might even be buried in your kitchen. Don't be alarmed, be excited.
Super-foods have long been the highlight of any discussion about health or healthy food. Many celebrity chefs have dedicated cooking books to them.
Many health experts from around the world have been advocating for the incorporation of super foods into our diets, and some say that merely adding a few of them to your daily menu is enough to provide your well-being with an instant boost.
What is there in super-foods that make them so desirable?
- High levels of essential nutritional elements (like protein, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and more).
- Very high doses of antioxidants.
- They are easily absorbed and digested.
- They are beneficial to everybody's system.
- Beauty enhancing: for glowing skin, shiny hair and sparkling eyes.
- Improve body and soul balance.
Between Yams and Acai Berries
Some of these super-foods are rightly considered exotic and are only available in health food stores. Among these, you can find acai berries (that come from the Amazon rain forests), goji berries (another rare fruit), Spirulina (a miracle-working seaweed) and others. The good news is that most of the super-foods are far more accessible than we thought, and as a matter of fact, they are already available at our house. Despite the fact, that some of these healthy foods are underneath our noses, we do not consume them on a regular basis. That's simply outrageous in my book.
Among the super-foods, you can find at the nearest market or supermarket you can find: legumes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, blueberries, strawberries, quinoa, salmon, dark chocolate (with more than 70% cacao), and many green leaves – the greener they are, the healthier they are. For this reason, kale has become the object of such legendary tales, that have turned it into the unofficial king of superfoods. Spinach, mangold and Bok choy are high on this list as well.
Changing to a Healthier Diet, Easily
Apparently, turning to a super-food rich diet is super simple, and super healthy: replacing processed foods or less healthy foods by super-foods, will not only grant our body important nutritional values but will also provide energy and assistance to the different body systems. Some of them even boost the discharge of mood-improving hormones.
