Beans No surprise here. Beans, long a staple in many countries because of their long shelf life and small price tag, are downright good for you. They're jam packed with both kinds of fiber: Insoluble, which helps lower the "bad" cholesterol; and soluble, which helps the body eliminate waste. They're also a low fat protein (which is rare) and have their fair share of potassium and magnesium too.
Don't like beans? Try: Edamame (soy beans) instead. In addition to being fun to eat, they contain omega-3 fatty acids.
It's a good reminder. Skincare and makeup isn't enough if the dietary habits are poor. I, for some reason, don't need to be reminded about dark chocolate.
ere are so much easier healthier ways to get everything this article says we need. If you don't like fish or the fresh salmon is pricey, China seeds are great substitute for that as well as blueberries. Then in place of beans, which has not that much fiber and most people don't care forthem, you could use fiber 1 cereal which is great in yogurts or smoothies. Other are other cheaper/faster ways to get your antioxidants and then some. This article is so basic and it seems most people here are educated in that. Especially when Dr. Oz has a faithful following.
Some of the experts mentioned (Oz & Evans for example) are Oprah's advisors, AKA her media darlings, that are apparently not able to produce positive results (i.e.: for her). Despite the aforementioned, I love my vitamins and swear by them. The US RDA supplementary requirements are insufficient, & most people do not get enough of most vitamins & minerals necessary to function at an optimal nor regulatory level. The majority of this article is highly self explanatory.
A little dark chocolate after lunch everyday...stops me from eating the rest of the day till dinner time. I try to eat as much raw food as possible. I include some protein with each meal.
great list of superfoods and all their benefits! I love dark chocolate but I always sneeze when I eat it... I hope I'm not allergic because it's so good!
Organic dark chocolate is very different from your average American chocolate. I love it. It's so rich you can't really (at least I can't) eat too much of it.
"Don't like chocolate? What on earth is the matter with you?" Lol. My thoughts exactly! On a serious note though, these foods are simply delicious! I love dark chocolate, garlic, kiwi and salmon. The great thing about it is they are so healthy and jam packed with nutrients. I think it's time to grill up some salmon! Sounds delicious.
i wish i still liked kiwi. i used to love it so much when i was a kid that i ate it daily for the longest time. then one day i just stopped liking it and now i can't even stand the sight of it. wish i wouldn't have done that 'cause now i'm not reaping the superness of the superfood.
I love all of them except quinoa simply because we don't have have that down here in Phils. Sweet potato is also a versatile food because you can fry it, steam it or even put it in stir-fried vegetables and soups.
I love learning about new superfoods! For interests sake some more are: blueberries (rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and potassium, also anti-inflammatory) and tomatoes (containing vitamin E, vitamin C, fibre, beta-carotene, and lycopene, which fights numerous cancers)
Ah, it's nice to get a reminder that the good stuff can actually be good for you. But what about all the nuts and seeds that are packed with minerals and all sorts of goodness?
these all sound so yummy! i just tried quinoa recently (cooked it at home even!) and it was fantastic!! the possibilities seem endless and it's soooo good for you. i will definitely try to have more of all these foods =)
