Healthiest foods for 2014! As mentioned earlier this month March is National Nutrition Month. I'd like to close this month with the healthiest foods to eat for 2014. When I am counseling people with respect to diet in my clinic, it is an extremely individual affair. I believe that people's diets should be as individual as they are. I try to focus on what to actually eat since this is the information people are literally starved for.
That being said: there are some food “superheroes”. While all of these may not be appealing to everyone, most people will improve their health and nutrition by adding them to their diets.
APPLES: I didn't name my clinic Apple-A-Day Clinic for naught! While berries get all the good press, apples have been shown to reduce inflammation, and are credited with alleviating constipation, and ulcerative colitis. Don't overlook this awesome fruit.
COFFEE: While highly controversial, coffee is one of the best source of antioxidants in the world. It may be a challenge to be moderate. I will cover the caffeine controversy here in April.
TEMPEH: Tempeh and other fermented foods like sauerkraut help to fertilize health gut bacteria. Add these foods to your diet for better health. As a clinician who specializes in gut health you will be thankful you did.
BEETS: A shining star for troubled livers, high blood pressure, brain performance and more beets are delicious and easy to juice!
LENTILS: Anthocyanins in these foods reduce inflammation and fight chronic illnesses like arthritis, cancer and heart disease. They are also a delicious staple in many middle eastern and vegetarian entrees and recipes.
SPINACH and ARUGULA: Move over kale, these other fresh greens have just as many nutrients as kale especially vitamin K, Vitamin C and Beta Carotene!
TEFF: An ancient and gluten free grain, TEFF is high in calcium, vitamin C and tasty. Teff is considered a resistant starch with only about half being digestible.
SHICHIMI Togarashi: a non salt Japanese seasoning with a blend of orange peel, chili, sesame seeds and seaweed can be added tastily to many dishes.
I hope you will enjoy adding some of these fine foods to your diet this spring. For a TON of superfoods in one glorious shake visit our Store! Amazing FRESH products, BEST prices, FREE shipping on all orders.
