Have you ever heard of superfoods?
You know…the BEST foods touted for improving your health?
Yes, those ones.
So, what makes a food SUPER?
Superfoods contain a very high “nutritional density.”
Wait…what?
To put it simply, superfoods provide a fairly large amount of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants) with very few calories.
When you eat these foods, you’re flushing your body with nutrients that could do everything from lower inflammation (say goodbye to achy joints) to boosting your weight loss.
And superfoods are the cornerstone to the following tips you may want to implement:
1. Include More Superfoods
If you’re going to maximize your nutrition, including more superfoods would be the first step. Low in calories, but high in nutrition, these foods should be part of your daily meal plan. Some of the more popular superfoods include: wild-caught fatty fish (salmon), avocado, berries, spinach, beets, sweet potatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, and cinnamon. There are plenty of other superfoods you could include, but these are some of the more popular options.
2. Cut Out The Sugar
The average person eats roughly 152 pounds of sugar each year. This means you could be eating up to 3 pounds of sugar each week. That’s an awful lot of the white stuff. Sugar is so bad for your health. Not only does it lead to weight gain, it could lead to unstable blood sugar, mood swings, and cravings, among other ailments. Cutting down, or cutting it out, could accelerate your weight loss, and your success.
3. Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
Cutting down on your sugar intake could cause some blood sugar fluctuations, leaving you craving sugar, sweets, or junk food. To balance your sweet tooth, include more berries—like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. All of them are low in calories and pack a nutritional punch. Berries could satisfy that sweet cravings, while supplying your body with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.
As you can see, superfoods are powerhouses of nutrition.
Not only are they packed with potent vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants…they are super low in calories, so they are perfect on any fat loss plan.
The key takeaway to this email is cutting back and limiting your intake of sugar.
Is that something you’re able/willing to do?
