There is a lot of hype surrounding superfoods. Should you
use them in your diet? Of course! But what are they and
how can they help your body detox program?
Superfoods are foods you may or may not eat everyday that
are packed full of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that
are said will make you healthy, happy and strong. While
many people think of vegetables when they hear the term
superfoods, some fruits and even dark chocolate fall in
this category. Adding them to your daily diet is
definitely a recipe for success. Learn more about some of
the best you can use during your full body detox.
Vegetable superfoods include many of the green leafy kind
as well as ones you can find in capsule form. Spirulina
and chlorella are two of these. These superfoods will help
stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the day. They
also contain GLA, an omega-3 fatty acid.
The other great thing about chlorella and spirulina is that
they contain tons of protein. They actually have 12 times
the protein of beef, and contain all the B vitamins,
including B12, Vitamin C, E and major minerals. People
call them a less expensive way to get your protein. They
are definitely an awesome way to improve your health even
without a natural body detox.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants and phytoflavinoids.
They contain a lot of vitamin C and potassium. In addition
to lowering your risk of cancer and heart disease, they
also are an anti-inflammatory. Anyone following a good
body detox program will want to include these in their
diet. A rule of thumb to follow with berries is the darker
their color, the higher in antioxidants they are.
Want to lower your risk for heart disease, ease your
arthritis, and possibly avoid memory loss and Alzheimer's
disease? Eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Stick to
cold-water fish, though, as warmer fish have higher levels
of mercury. A few to try are wild salmon, herring and
mackerel.
Fiber helps you feel full longer, maintain weight and keep
your bowels regular, which is an important part of an
natural body detox. In addition, studies show that those
who eat fiber as a part of their normal diet have more
stable blood sugar levels. All important benefits with
life-long effects.
Soy is a great cholesterol fighter to have in your corner.
It is found that you can lower your total cholesterol as
much as statins by ingesting soy. Statins are currently
one of the most widely prescribed medicines used to lower
cholesterol.
Tea is known for having plenty of antioxidants but green
tea has been found to have ECGC, another opponent of
cholesterol.
There are lots of foods in this category. Any good home
body detox will have quite a comprehensive list. Include
one or many of these food in your body detox diet and you
are well on your way to a happy, healthier you.
