This list comes with a warning. Some of the items that you may find on the list may not exactly be the kinds that you expect to see on a diet and nutrition page. We, however, deny the set ideas and rules, and create this amazing list of superfoods to save your life.
THE DARKER THE BETTER – DARK CHOCOLATE
The benefits of dark chocolate have been emphasized, re-emphasized and emphasized upon some more. They are effective in lowering your blood pressure, and are high in anti-oxidants. Keep those chocolate chips close at hand, and suppress your cravings for white chocolate.
CHEESE TO PLEASE
Don’t you get off your seat to go get out the cheese you picked up from the store last weekend! We aren’t talking just any cheese. We’re talking about ‘part skim ricotta’ cheese. It helps strengthen the bones; while being low on sodium and high on calcium. Add to your pasta, and VOILA, it’s healthy pasta with extra cheese.
SWEETLY YOURS, MR. POTATO
Sweet potatoes are rightfully here on the ‘superfoods‘ list. They are a brilliant source of nutrients, vitamin A and anti-oxidants of other sorts. They are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties. They’re primarily responsible for supplying glucose to the brain, muscles and organs of the body.
TURNING THE HEAT ON – HOT PEPPERS
These add a zing to your meal, and help bring your immunity levels a notch up. The heat producing source has another role to play, in that it helps fight cancer, obesity and diabetes. It is, however, of utmost importance that you wear a glove while dealing with these hotties.
TURN IT UP – TURNIPS
These natural bolsters of blood vessel linings are rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and even calcium. Turnips double up as a deterrent to hardening of the arteries, which generally ends up leading to a number of heart diseases.
THE ‘APPLE’ OF MY EYE
Other than being high in fiber, the apple helps battle everything from low cholesterol levels, to diarrhea, and cancer. There are large varieties of apples that are found in the market today. Search hard, and we’re sure you’ll find your pick.
NUTTY TALKS
The supreme kings of heart – healthy food, the walnuts are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. They provide for ellagic acid, which is a potential drug component that is being used to battle cancer.
