Take action now and add superfoods into your daily meal plans to enjoy vibrant health and a more positive outlook on life!
Almonds
Almonds are rich sources of amino acids and protein which help in the production of certain chemicals responsible for muscle growth. Since they are excellent sources of protein, they help boost your metabolism, while peeling off the pounds. Almonds also help lower bad cholesterol and may even help regulate blood glucose levels, which is beneficial to diabetics. The plant sterols in almonds also provide energy, and the vitamin E helps protect against damage from the sun.
Almonds are also excellent sources of antioxidants, which helps prevent damage from free radicals. They also help keep your arteries healthy and may help improve cognitive functioning.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are important superfoods because they are loaded with lycopene, a potent antioxident that may enhance your weight loss efforts. Whether you consume your tomatoes fresh or processed, the benefits remain strong. me. Diets high in lycopene may help decrease your risk of certain cancers, such as prostate, lung, bladder, stomach and skin cancers. Lycopene may also help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and help reduce the risk of skin damaged caused by ultraviolet rays. Although fresh tomatoes are great to eat, consuming tomato paste or cooked tomatoes may help your body absorb the lycopene more efficiently.
Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are one of the "superstars" of weight loss superfoods, as they are high in fiber and protein, and are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help improve the quality and texture of your skin, while helping to lower total cholesterol levels. Flaxseeds may also help relieve symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease, while improving overall cardiovascular health.
The omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseeds also have been shown to reduce levels and anxiety and promote a more restful and restorative sleep. For those who are unable to tolerate the side effects from cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins, supplement their diets with flaxseeds may be a viable alternative to taking these drugs. It is important to note, however, that you should never stop taking medications that your doctor has prescribed for you, without first discussing it with him.
Spinach
Spinach is another great superfood that is not only a potent muscle enhancer, it is also rich in magnesium and potassium These vital minerals play important roles in heart health, weight loss and blood pressure, and may help ward off a stroke. Spinach also contains an excellent source of lutein, which is an antioxidant helpful in keeping clogged arteries at bay. Spinach also helps bolster your bone density, while helping to fight colon cancer, skin cancer and prostate cancer.
Sweet Potatoes
Talk about one of the most amazing superfoods! Sweet potatoes just might be one of the healthiest foods around to help you quick start your weight loss. Those who make sweet potatoes a regular staple in their diet may be helping to reduce the risk of diabetes, while helping to counteract the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.
Sweet potatoes contain glutathione, a strong antioxidant known for its ability to support the immune system. It might also help protect against liver disease, Parkinson's, Alzheimers, heart attacks, cancer, stroke and HIV. Furthermore, this spectacular superfood is packed with vitamin C, which helps smooth out the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a spectacular superfood that contains carnosic acid. It may also help protect against stroke by shielding cells from the harmful effects of free radicals. Carnosic acid may also protect against Alzheimer's disease, enhance your weight loss efforts and other degenerative conditions.
Salmon
One of the most important superfoods is salmon. It contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as well as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The substances are known as omega-3 fatty acids, which help enhance nerve function and combat inflammation and promote healthy weight loss. Omega-3 fatty acids may also play important roles in the prevention of depression and anxiety disorders. Furthermore, it may also reduce the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also available in supplement form, however, you should talk to your doctor before taking them. These supplements have the potential to decrease platelet aggregation and subsequent thinning of the blood. If you take prescription blood thinners or take a daily aspirin, omega-3 fatty acid supplements may intensify the anticoagulant effects of these medications and raise the risk of abnormal bleeding.
Apples
Another star in the superfoods category is the apple. Not only can an apple a day keep the doctor away, it can also stave off weight gain. Individuals who eat an apple before eating a meal high in carbohydrates tend to eat fewer calories that people who choose a different snack. In addition, apples contain powerful antioxidants that help reduce the risk of getting metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is marked by an increase in belly fat and being shaped like an apple, as opposed to having the shape of a pear.
Steak
Did you know that steak is also a member of the superfood group? Beef is protein that when consumed in moderation, helps manage your weight while promoting quick weight loss. It is important to note, however, that you should choose lean cuts of meat and trim off any visible fat. People who are anemic can also benefit from adding steak to their diets, as steak is rich in iron content, which may help correct iron deficiency anemia.
Stress and anxiety have ways of creeping into almost every part of our lives. Whether you are raising your family, working long hours, dealing with family or health-related issues, stress and anxiety take their toll on your emotional and physical health. Hypothyroidism can also lead to stress, depression and anxiety, and so can the medications used to treat it.
Although elevated levels of stress, anxiety and depression might necessitate a medical evaluation, there are various things you can do to help east your anxiety before it spirals out of control. The foods that you eat play a vital role in both the development and management of anxiety, and by learning which types foods to eat and which ones to avoid, you might find that your stress and anxiety levels start to dissipate.
Before I explain which foods will help you manage your stress and anxiety, you should know which foods to avoid. Alcohol is known a central nervous system depressant, so when you drink in excess, you can actually deplete your body of energy, leaving you with hardly any resources to effectively manage your stress.
Conversely, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, and in addition to contributing to the loss of fluids, it can cause palpitations and abnormal heart rhythms, respiratory difficulties, increased urination, upset stomach, headache and excessive sweating. These symptoms can further exacerbate your symptoms of anxiety, and in certain cases, increase the risk for a full-fledged panic attack.
Eating foods high in sugar content can also worsen anxiety because after you eat sugar, your blood sugar levels will increase, and then decline quickly. This physiological action may also cause decreased levels of energy, depression and anxiety.
Now, for the foods you should eat that can dramatically help restore your energy, improve your emotional well-being, keep anxiety at bay and relieve depression. Even though many individuals are trying to eliminate the amounts of red meat that they add into their diets, red meat is actually an excellent choice for those who are dealing with stress.
Beef contains rich amounts of B vitamins, zinc and iron, which not only help raise your mood, but it also helps maintain your emotional well-being as well. Make sure, however, that you eat cuts of beef that are very lean, and low in fat.
The mineral, magnesium, is often referred to as "nature's beta blocker." Beta blockers are prescription drugs are used in the management of hypertension, abnormal heart rates and rhythms, migraines and anxiety. They also help suppress your body's response to stress hormones such as adrenaline, and can dramatically lower your risk of panic attacks.
It is for this reason that you should eat foods that are rich sources of magnesium. Almonds are excellent sources of magnesium, and other nutrients. In addition to containing high amounts of magnesium, almonds also contain vitamins C, E and B2, and healthy unsaturated fats. These substances also help protect you from the dangerous effects of free radicals and oxidative stress, which have been commonly implicated in the development of heart disease and malignancy.
Milk is another food to help you get through times of anxiety and stress. Milk is rich in calcium, vitamins B12 and B2, antioxidant, vitamin D and protein. It also helps keep your bones healthy and helps enhance the regeneration of healthy new cells.
Combining low-fat milk with your favorite whole-grain, healthy cereal for breakfast is an excellent way to keep stress at bay that may be waiting to ruin your emotional and physical health. Cottage cheese, combined with vitamin C rich fruits also helps you better deal with stress-promoting free radicals that can often get out of control when you are under stress. In addition to fortified milk, asparagus is another heavy hitter when it comes to managing anxiety and stress.
Rich in folic acid and vitamin B, asparagus helps stabilize your moods by promoting the release of a "feel-good" substance, known as serotonin. Antidepressant medications also work by increasing your levels of serotonin to elevate your moods and keep anxiety and depression at bay.
Superfoods That Defy Aging
Goji berries are dense and contain rich concentrations of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, amino acids and healthy essential fatty acids. Because of excellent nutritional value, it is not surprising that Goji berries are frequently mentioned when referring to good health and anti-aging. Goji berries originate in Tibet, and are known to improve immunity, promote good vision, lower the risk of cancer, reduce levels of cholesterol, assist with weight loss and reduce depression. In addition, Goji berries are rich sources of vitamin C content, and contain at least 500 times more vitamin C than oranges so.
They also contain higher levels of beta carotene than carrots, and they're also an excellent source of vitamin A. The polysaccharides in Goji berries help stimulate your pituitary gland to secrete human growth hormone, which is thought to help stave off aging.
Avocados contain vitamin E, which is an excellent moisturizer and emollient for your skin. Avocados also contain glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant. Glutathione is also thought to have anti-cancer properties as well. It may be effective against the effects of air pollution, ultra-violet radiation, cigarette smoke and exhaust fumes.
Research is currently being conducted to determine the benefits of glutathione on heart disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, stress and anxiety, arthritis, depression, eczema, Aids, memory loss and liver disease.
If you want to enhance the production of collagen in a very natural way, consider aloe vera. Aloe helps your skin maintain a healthy and wrinkle-free glow. It also contains vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and it also rich in potent anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory substances. Furthermore, aloe may help reduce the risk of bacterial and fungal infections, while promoting good digestion and optimal elimination.
Aloe vera can also help enhance your immune system, while helping to keep your skin looking young. Because the outer leaves of an aloe plant may have a strong laxative effect, you should consume only the gel. Since aloe gel is bitter, combine it with your favorite fruit to enhance the flavor.
Bee pollen is another superfood superstar that may help treat various skin conditions such as acne, while promoting the production of new, healthy skin cells. Bee pollen also has potent anti-aging properties and it helps prevent the effects of dehydration on your skin, while helping to make wrinkles less visible. Bee pollen also contains nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA, and it may help fight off infections, enhance your immune system, improve physical stamina, reduce cholesterol levels and enhance your libido.
Chlorella is another superfood that is loaded with nucleic acids. In fact, chlorella is one of the highest sources of RNA and DNA. In addition to RNA and DNA, chlorella is also a very rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and healthful enzymes. It also helps reduce the adverse effects of oxidative stress on your body, while helping to rid the body of harmful toxins that have the potential to weaken immune functioning.
If you struggle with your weight, coconut oil may be what you need to promote weight loss. Coconut oil is also high in antioxidants and it is also helps re-hydrate and moisturize your skin. In fact, coconut oil might help protect against free radical damage and help you maintain a healthy and youthful looking complexion. You can either consume coconut oil, or apply it to your skin. In addition to containing an essential fatty acid that has strong anti-microbial effects known as lauric acid, coconut oil may also protect against viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
Everyone has had those down days when things just don't go right. During the aging process, our bodies start to lose some of its vigor and vitality, and so do our brains. By eating the right superfoods, we can preserve our brain function longer. Consider including the following superfoods into your daily menu plans to help keep your brain working at its best.
Superfoods such as brown rice, whole grain breads and oatmeal might help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke, while helping to contribute to a healthy brain. When you have a healthy cardiovascular system, the blood flow to your brain is optimal. Healthy complex carbohydrates also supply your brain with an steadier dose of glucose, which also enhances healthy brain function.
Conversely, simple carbohydrates that are found in processed foods bombard your brain with too much sugar, resulting in unhealthy sugar-highs and precipitous crashes. This roller coaster effect promotes fatigue, hunger, depression and stress.
Blueberries are another amazing superfood that may guard your brain from the effects of dementia, Alzheimer's and stress. Rich in vitamins and minerals, blueberries help contribute to better motor skills and enhanced learning capacities.
Dark chocolate is another superfood that is high in antioxidants. The antioxidants contained in dark chocolate are very rich in natural stimulants that help enhance better focus and concentration. They also help your body release mood-enhancing endorphins. As with any food, it is best to consume dark chocolate in moderation. Eating too much might cause hyper-stimulation, anxiety and insomnia.
Salmon, a deep-water, fatty fish is an excellent source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. These essential nutrients are crucial for optimal brain functioning, and are also being investigated for their roles in the reduction of depression and anxiety disorders. Fish oil supplements also contain rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, however, they may interfere with medications known as anticoagulants or medical conditions. Fish oils thin your blood by inhibiting platelet aggregation, and may lead to abnormal bleeding. Talk to your health care provider before consuming fish oil supplements, especially if you take anticoagulant medications.
Brewed tea also contains very potent antioxidants known as catechines. These substances promote healthy blood flow to the brain, and may help with concentration. Because tea contains caffeine, limiting your consumption may help stave off caffeine-related insomnia, over-stimulation and anxiety.
Foods that contain vitamin E such as peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews, walnuts and almonds are also healthy selections for brain health. Eating these seeds and nuts may help keep cognitive decline at bay and promote learning.
Avocados, a fruit high in healthy-promoting fats, contributes to enhanced cerebral blood flow while reducing your blood pressure. Hypertension is a prominent risk factor in the development of heart disease and stroke.
Superfoods To Relieve Hypothyroid-Associated Heartburn
People with hypothyroidism may be more likely to suffer the effects of acid reflux disease and heartburn. In addition thyroid replacement medications can also lead to heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. Heartburn and acid reflux disease causes discomfort to millions of people as the result of intense burning in the esophagus, throat and chest areas. Heartburn can even cause a chronic cough, constant throat clearing, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, sore throat and a feeling as though there is something is stuck in your throat.
Heartburn is often caused by overeating, drinking too much, anxiety, smoking, obesity and various medications. In addition, many foods trigger acid reflux and heartburn, including coffee, tea, chocolate, foods high in fat, and citrus fruit.
