Packed with nutrients, providing extra energy “boosts”, and keeping you healthy and well—be sure to add “superfoods” to your shopping cart every time you visit the grocery store.
In the produce section, stock up on apples, berries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, kiwifruit, pomegranate, green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and fresh herbs. Besides being sweet, refreshing and juicy, these fruits contain powerful antioxidants that help fight free-radicals, while also providing nutrients that promote heart health.
While in the dry-food aisles, choose herbs, oats, nuts, legumes, and seeds. Common herbs and spices serve as superfoods by supporting healthy digestive function; oats provide a great source of complex carbohydrates and fiber; and nuts contain heart-healthy monosaturated oils, vitamins and minerals. Grab eggs, soy (as soymilk, tofu, edamame, or tempeh), yogurt, turkey, and fish from the dairy and meat cases. Eggs are low in carbohydrates and sodium; soy and fish are superfoods that promote healthy cholesterol levels; yogurt promotes a healthy immune system; and turkey is high in protein and rich in zinc.
Make superfoods a part of your diet every day, and experience super health benefits that other foods just don’t deliver!
