Super Foods…

Introduction

Sure, you've heard of superfoods. But what are they? And how can you make sure you're getting enough of them in your diet? Well, read on for some helpful information about the top superfoods to start incorporating into your daily routine !

1. Oats

Oatmeal is a great way to start your day. Oats are high in fiber, which helps you feel full for longer and reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. They're also rich in protein and contain many different vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote health. Oats have been used as food since ancient times. The Egyptians made them into flour by grinding them up with water. People started to use oats around the world in the 17th century. Worldwide due to their versatility: they can be eaten plain or sprinkled with spices (like cinnamon), cooked into (oatmeal), or even made into bread!

2. Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are a great addition to your diet. They're high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart and help regulate blood pressure. They also contain protein, antioxidants, and fiber (which is why they can keep you feeling full longer). Chia seeds have been shown to reduce inflammation in the body by acting as anti-inflammatory agents in the liver and gut lining. This makes them ideal for people who just want to feel healthier overall, but have digestive problems like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

3. Almond Milk

Almond milk is a good substitute for cow's milk, and it has all the benefits of real dairy. It’s high in protein and calcium, but low in fat. Almonds are also high in magnesium—an essential mineral that plays an important role in keeping your bones strong and healthy. In fact, almonds contain more magnesium than any other nut except pistachios! Almond milk can be made at home with one ingredient: almonds! All you need to do is soak them overnight (or even faster if using whole almonds), then blend them with water or coconut water until the consistency you want is reached. If you have trouble digesting nuts because of their high phytic acid content (which binds minerals), consider soaking them first before blending them into your almond milk recipe; this will reduce their anti-nutrient properties by allowing some leaching out into the mixture instead of remaining on top like usual when cooking off those acids through frying or baking goods made with nuts like cashews which contain higher amounts than most other types due mainly due their higher oil content compared with other types such as peanuts where only around 50%

4. Kale

Kale is a leafy green vegetable that has been around for hundreds of years. It's considered one of the most versatile superfoods because it contains high amounts of vitamins A, C, and K and calcium. It also contains high levels of antioxidants which help to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals (a chemical that can cause disease). In addition to its nutritional value, kale is also very low in calories—only 30 calories per cup! This makes it an ideal food choice if you're trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy lifestyle while eating well-balanced meals throughout the day.

5. Coconut Oil

• Coconut oil is a great source of healthy fats.
• It can be used to cook with, or as a spread on toast.
• Coconut oil has many health benefits, including the prevention of heart disease and diabetes.

6. Blueberries

Blueberries are a high-quality source of antioxidants, which can help protect against heart disease and other illnesses. They're also rich in fiber, vitamin C, and iron. In animal studies, blueberries have been shown to improve memory and brain function; however, it's unclear if they have similar effects on humans. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), blueberries contain vitamin K which may be important for bone health—a key factor in preventing osteoporosis later in life.
