Sometimes Sundays are quiet enough to grab your iphone and/or pen/paper and make a list!?! Here’s a list of superfoods that you want to EAT daily this spring/summer! Feed them to yourself—to your children—neighbors, parents….the more that you enjoy these superfoods, the more you’ll see their benefits working in your diet. The best part of enjoying these superfoods ourselves (aside from their benefits) is that we inspire others to want to eat them too—-especially our children. They are watching what super-charges us with each bite we savor!
Superfoods:
- Wild Salmon – this fish is loaded with protein and heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids which studies show can help in preventing cardiovascular disease.
- Cranberries – this fruit helps to fight inflammation in the body, reduce risk of heart disease and prevent yeast infections.
- Avocado – is loaded with healthy mono saturated fats which improve cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of heart disease.
- Chia – this seed is loaded with fiber and has the same amount of omega-3s as wild salmon! It is also packed with magnesium and antioxidants proven to lower cardiovascular disease.
- Broccoli – this green veggie is packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber! It also has high levels of folate (important for women’s health) and helps fight off disease.
- Almonds – this nuts has a good dose of fiber, plus it is packed with magnesium, potassium, iron and calcium.
- Flax – is another seed that is fiber packed and full of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It helps protect against heart disease and cancer.
- Cacao – chocolate as a “super food”? Yes! This delight is full of disease-fighting antioxidants that help in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
- Blueberries – these little berries are packed with fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants. They aid in protecting against heart disease and cancer.
- Greek Yogurt – This tart treat is packed with probiotics that aid in digestion and boost the immune system. It is also gives you a big protein punch!
Last Sunday, I (Litsa) enjoyed chia, almonds, flax, cocao, blueberries, and greek yogurt—-in addition to sunflower seeds, pistachios, blackberries, raspberries! Additionally, my daughter enjoyed the same combination of superfoods because she ate what I ate! We also super charged our Sun-fun-day with bananas, pears, apples——-and FRESH green juice! So how will we fit in the rest of these superfoods—-salmon for lunch with a side of broccoli and a green salad tossed with cranberries and avocado—and of course, more flax, chia, and nuts!
Superfoods are easy to add to your diet if they are readily available in your kitchen pantry/refrigerator!
