These are natures gifts to us that have all kinds of amazing benefits for our bodies. Well today we are looking at the best of the best when it comes to superfoods. We are going to tell you what superfoods you guys need to have in your diet. We will also have a little look at just what makes these foods so good for you bodies.
Blueberries: Helping Keep Your Insides Working Good!
Blueberries I am sure on any list of amazing superfoods will be on there and as a matter of fact I am sure I have talked about them before. Blueberries are most known for being one of the best antioxidants on the planet, but they also do just a ton of good inside your body. Many doctors and nutritionists all over the planet will recommend these as they can significantly lower a person’s chance of developing both heart disease and cancer! As well as this they also work as an anti-inflammatory secret agent in your body as well!
Fish: To Keep The Heart Pumping And The Mind Active!
Ok we are not talking all kinds of random fish here. We are talking about fish that are very high in Omega 3. If you want the full benefits of fish then you need to have around two to three portions of fish like salmon, mackerel, herring and sardines. This will help lower the chance of heart disease, help your brain function by preventing memory loss and even fighting against Alzheimer’s disease. As well as this it can even help you if you have stiff joints and arthritis. One thing to watch for is that it is recommended that you make sure the fish you are buying is fresh or wild and not farmed.
Soy Fiber: A Great Way To Drop Your Cholesterol
It seems like when you go into a doctor’s surgery these days nearly all the posters on the wall have something to do with cholesterol. We are told that one thing is great for our cholesterol only for a year or two later it to be found out its bad for us. Well one thing that has been proven time and time again to help you lower your cholesterol is soy fiber. Now soy sauce I am really sorry to tell you does not do the trick. But by using soy milk then you will be on the way to getting your cholesterol in check.
Green Tea: Another Way To Battle Cholesterol
Let me say right away that black tea has been proven to have pretty much the exact same antioxidant power as green tea which is great, but green tea does have a few added bonuses. ECGS is like a super charged antioxidant that is found in green tea and it has been proven that men who drink green tea regularly will have far lower cholesterol than those who do not. Also ECGS can make it harder for cancer cells to grow as well. So put down the coffee pot and have a nice cup of green tea instead.
Milk: For Strong Bones
Are you serious? I can hear more than a few of you people saying. Well studies have shown that while most adults are fully aware of how important calcium is to their body that they still do not get enough of it in their diets. So a nice glass of milk once a day is a great way to help keep your bones nice and strong. There are also plenty of dairy products and even some supplements you can buy over the counter as well that will give you a calcium boost.
