Top 10 Super Foods to add to your diet
your other food. Its bitter taste kick starts your digestive juices so you
absorb more nutrients. When you eat green leafy vegetables before other
food you have less of an inappropriate immune response. Kale also
supplies a nice amount of fiber.
2. Berries. These small fruits are filled with antioxidant goodness. Most of the nutrients are
found in the skin and the sugar is stored in the inside of the fruit. So, the fact that berries are
small means you are getting a lot of nutrients and very little sugar compared to larger fruits.
Blueberries may be the best, but getting a good blend is even better.
3. Flax seeds. These need to be crushed with a coffee grinder and stored in a cool area.
These seeds supply some of the healthiest fats and are a good source of fiber. This is another
excellent food to sprinkle.
4. Alaskan salmon. These wild salmon from Alaska are filled with good protein and another
form of good fats (Omega-3's) that are the building blocks of your brain and promote a healthy
heart by decreasing inflammation. Not all salmon is the same. Farm raised salmon has high
levels of mercury, artificial coloring and less of the healthy Omega-3's.
5. Eggs. Some may be surprised to see this on my list. That is a shame. If you get eggs
from farm raised chickens that were aloud to roam around and were grass fed and not corn fed,
their eggs are loaded with great fats, proteins and tons of other things. Cook them lightly on a
low temperature and do eat all the yolks.
6. Walnuts. This is should be your favorite snack food. It has a nice blend of omega 3 fats
with omega 6 fats. It also is a good source of fiber and proteins.
7. Brussel Sprouts. Although they have a bad reputation as being awful tasting, you should
try them steamed or sauted with butter and sea salt. They are actually delicious. Brussel
sprouts are one of the best foods in the world at fighting and preventing cancer due to their high
sulphur and nutrient content.
8. Green Tea. This delicious hot drink contains polyphenols, anti-oxidants which may
reduce heart disease, cancer and stroke risk. This is a perfect low caffeine substitute for coffee.
9. Avacados. Yes, they're high in fat, but it's a "good" mono-unsaturated kind (meaning it
won't clog your arteries). In fact, new research shows that avocados may protect against heart
disease by lowering your LDL levels. Mono-unsaturated fats also help make your skin softer,
your hair shinier and provide a great source of energy.
10. Butter. Can you believe it?!!! Butter actually has many beneficial properties and the fat in
butter is not nearly as dangerous as commonly thought. It is rich in Vitamin A as well as E,K,
and D. It also contains anti-cancer, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties. Be mindful; when
I say butter, I mean BUTTER! Margerine is NOT acceptable and would qualify for my list of
"Foods to Avoid."
