Hey gang , Thanks for keeping up with me ! Some have asked why did i start a whole new blog . Well since having a few health issues i decided to share my health journey . You are probably wondering what is Superfoods? They are your healthy fats that are packed with nutrients and really beneficial to your health . Once again i am not on a specific diet . Currently i am working on keeping my weight and getting more toned , I want to not only feel good inside but also physicially and look healthy . BUT , since i do have hormonal imbalance many carbs does get me sick and while im trying to get toned i need the carbs ! ugh , kinda complicated so now i just lower how much carbs i eat. . I have so many i love especially Matcha ! Growing up i've always had anything Matcha i've just been so obsessed before it became so popular . One thing i didn't know is how beneficial it is to your body . Some stuff is really hard to get use too so pairing it with fruits in a smoothie helps so much especially if it is your first time . I also recommend to try a little first. Here are the few Superfoods i use everyday or weekly and their benefits !
1. Matcha
It is the finest ground of a green tea leaf and this is rich in antioxidants , enhances metabolism, improves immune system function and gives energy .
( Usually , i will make a matcha latte and drink in replace of a coffee)
2. Cacao
Healthier than cocoa powder ! ( It is the purest form of chocolate extracted from the cacao bean , unlike Hershey's cocoa powder because it is so processed , with added sugar, oil, or milk fat.)
Rich in antioxidants , high in fiber , iron and magnesium , maintains muscle and nerve function .naturally sugar free , enhances mood ,great source of healthy fats and cholesterol-free .
( I use cacao powder and/or "nibs" in my smoothies , yogurt bowls , breakfast )
3. Seeds ( Flax , Hemp , Chia , Sesame , Sunflower , Pumpkin)
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids , Helps with healthy skin and hair ,
(Hemp seeds is considered a "perfect protein" because , it naturally contains all 9 essential amino acids our body cant produce also good for digestion )
( add in smoothies , yogurts or even on toast ! )
4. Maca Powder
High in antioxidants, improves energy , boosts mood/memory , *balancing hormones , increases libido
( can be added to smoothies)
5. Tumeric
Anti-inflammatory , rich in antixidants , supports healthy skin .
( Make a latte with it , tastes so good )
