Almost anyone can avoid disease and enjoy good health. The trick is to put the right type of foods into your body. Super foods are nothing short of magic. As you start implementing them into your daily food regimen, you will instantly feel them get to work.
Before long your energy levels will spike, your brain will think clearer, the pounds will begin to drop, and you will begin to experience that overall feeling of well being. If some of those benefits peak your interest, these super-foods are the pathway to get there.
Your body should always be feasting on greens.
In fact, upping your intake of greens to 3 servings a day is a short recipe for optimal health. Greens contain an insane amount of nutrition including essential vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. In short, there is nothing better for your health! Those turnip greens may seem less than appetizing right now, but with a little fresh lemon juice and a turn on the sauté pan, you can have a scrumptious side dish. Another fabulous way to work in greens is by tossing a handful into your morning omelet. There’s nothing better than fresh spinach to get your body going for the day.
Keep berries on hand for snacking.
Although they are little, berries hold a powerful punch of health. Stocked with antioxidants, berries are a great help to helping keep our immune systems healthy. Cranberries, blueberries and acai berries are especially hard workers and should always be in the kitchen! Sprinkle them on top of your morning bowl of oatmeal or toss them into a bowl of yogurt. However you eat them, they are nothing short of delicious.
Work beans into your day.
You know that bag of dry beans you always pass by at the store? It’s time to pick it up. Homemade beans are actually quite a treat when prepared the right way. Beans offer a terrific source of protein and fiber, two ingredients that are essential to good health. Throw a little diced onion, chopped garlic, cumin, chilis and jalapeños into a crock-pot with your beans and let them cook all day. Top off this tasty dish with a hefty squeeze of lime juice and watch yourself fall in love with beans all over again.
Oatmeal will kick off your day to a healthy start.
We all have heard how healthy oats can be for the heart…and it’s true. By replacing the sugar cereal for steel-cut oats, your heart health will be raised dramatically. Oats are a terrific source of fiber and also fight off bad cholesterol. Eat at least ½ - 1 cup of oats a day to experience top-notch health benefits.
Drink every ounce of water your body needs.
Although technically not considered a food, we couldn’t help but add water to the list. A body short on water simply can’t perform up to par. So even if you are putting away all the right foods…a shortage on water will keep you on the unhealthy side of the road. Fill up that water bottle and keep hydrating consistently throughout the day. By doing so, you’ll feel better, experience fewer headaches, and keep all your internal organs running smoothly.
