Need to improve your diet, ? and who doesn't??....add some of these superfoods to your next shopping excursion for better health! 

 

#1: Sweet Potatoes:  Absolutely jammed packed with carotenoids, antioxidants and vitamin A & C.  Easily baked or grilled. Mix in some unsweetened apple sauce or pineapple to add moisture and sweetness. Try sweet potatoe chips as a healthier snack.

 

#2: Grape tomatoes: Sweeter and firmer than other tomatoes, these treats are great as a snack.  They are packed with vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and potassium.  They are great in flavor too! Kids even love them.

 

#3: Soymilk: Soy milk can have just as much calcium and vitamins as well as protein, as dairy skim milk,  without the added fat and cholesterol.  One serving of soy foods per day has proven health benefits for breast and prostate health.

 

#4: Broccoli: Loads of folic acid, vitamin C, and carotenoids. Broccoli and brocco sprouts have important liver detoxification qualities. Broccoli also has high levels of calcium a great choice for those of us avoiding dairy foods. Along with almonds, these vegan choices are good sources of calcium.

 

  

#5: Wild Salmon can reduce the risk of sudden death heart attacks like the late Tim Russert experienced. PCB contamination is markedly reduced in the wild variety versus farmed.

 

#6: Brown Rice: contains tons of B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin E, and copper and zinc. "Enriched" grains are a misnomer in that most nutrients have been removed in processing.  Rice is a grain that contains less allergans than other grains, as well.

 

#7: Nuts can help weight loss. Except for peanuts, dieters can lose more weight and body fat by adding nuts to their diets. Nuts also can help reduce blood pressure.  Stick to raw unprocessed nuts.  Brazil nuts have been shown to have important anticancer properties.

 

#8: Sunflower seeds contain phytosterols that can help reduce high cholesterol levels. Sunflower seeds and sunflower oils block cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream according to recent studies.

 

#9: Superoxide Dismutase is an important antioxidant that can slow the aging process.  One source of this nutrient is in maple syrup but choose only pure maple syrup without high fructose corn syrup.

 

#10: Green Tea: contains EGCG which amongst other benefits has recently been shown to prevent brain aging! It is protective towards brain health and also lowers the plaque that builds up in ALzheimer's patients.  Avoid those containing sugar and high fructose corn syrup, or all bets are off.
