Are you looking for new ways to incorporate vitamins and minerals into your diet? It can be difficult to find those foods that are perfect for your diet needs. Are you looking for antioxidants? Or maybe a better way to incorporate more fiber into your diet? Don’t know which foods to try for your next snacking occasion? No problem! Here are 5 superfoods that are a must try.
1. Garbanzo Beans
Beans are on the top of the list for their high fibrous content and vitamins. These beans are especially plentiful in B vitamins and are perfect for helping your health. In addition, the fibrous nature of these beans help promote digestion, leaving your gut happy and healthy. Garbanzo beans are perfect for incorporating into salads or side dishes. But be aware that not all beans are created equal. Beans such as pinto or refried beans have a high starch and fat content. And while they may be delicious, they do not have the same nutritional value of that of garbanzo beans. In addition, these beans are one of the few that taste great in salads. By mixing them with a splash of apple cider vinegar, cherry tomatoes and fresh mint, you can make something that is both healthy and delicious. For your next healthy snacking occasion, try garbanzo beans.
2. Berries
Berries are a great way to not only improve your immune system but your heart health. Research has shown that certain berries, such as blueberries and strawberries, have a compound known as anthocyanin that has been proven to lower blood pressure and help protect blood vessels. Not only are these berries are super heroes to your heart health, they are great tasting and a perfect for an on the go snack or smoothie. This superfood is ideal for those who are looking for delicious ways to lower their blood pressure without compromising their cravings. When you’re looking for a delicious way to keep your heart healthy, try some berries out for your next snack time.
3. Salmon
While this might seem like a strange contender on our superfoods list, salmon is packed full of nutrients. Salmon contains a vitamin that is rarely found in other kinds of meats such as chicken or beef. This vitamin is known as omega 3 fatty acid. This fat is especially vital for our health and has been shown to lower blood pressure. It has also been proven that by eating food that has omega 3 in it, your hair and nails grow shiner and stronger. Salmon is a healthy and delicious way to help keep your blood pressure low and your stomach happy. And the best part, there are 100s of recipes to choose from. I personally love baking salmon, with 4 lemon wedges, 1 pinch oregano, 1 pinch cayenne pepper, 1 pinch salt and 1 pinch pepper. And if you’re really ambitious, top it up with some light freshly grated parmesan. Begin by preheating your oven to 450F. And let it bake for 12 to 15 minutes, making sure to let it rest after removing it from heat. The meat of the salmon is light, flakey and delicate. The skin adds that perfect sense of crunch to that fat sweet meat. When you’re looking to improve your health and have a delicious protein packed meal, try salmon out for your next dinner.
