SUPER-GOOD, SUPERFOODS
BLUEBERRIES
Small + Mighty, the blueberry. Actually, I like to call them brain-berries because they increase blood flow to key areas of the brain, improving memory and focus, and who doesn’t want that?!
I suggest incorporating even just a small handful of blueberries into your diet.
TURMERIC
Turmeric AKA curcumin can actually suppress fat tissue growth. Turmeric helps in losing weight by regulating sugar levels and further preventing insulin resistance. This results in excess fat that is not retained in the body.
NUTS
Blue Zone centenarians eat a handful of nuts every day.
Nuts are rich in vitamins, fiber and minerals but how do they make you live longer?
Eating a handful of nuts each day can reduce the risk of developing heart disease and cancer. They will also Improve artery health, reduce inflammation related to heart disease, decrease the risk of blood clots and high blood pressure.
So, grab a handful of almonds, walnuts, cashews or pistachios and enjoy your long-er life!
AVOCADO
Avocados are also packed with monounsaturated fats which increase fat burning and help scorch calories after eating.
Avocados are one of the foods that cleanse the liver because of their healthy fats and micronutrients. They also help the body produce glutathione, a compound that helps the liver remove heavy metals, environmental pollutants, and toxins produced by stress.
GINGER
Ginger is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have powerful benefits for your body and brain.
Eating ginger encourages efficient digestion, so food doesn't linger as long in the gut.
BONUS Relieves nausea.
GARLIC
Garlic has strong evidence to suggest it can improve cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and improving cholesterol profiles. Garlic also provides antioxidant benefits because it supports the activity of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.
Garlic supplements are known to boost the function of the immune system.
