Here are the last 3 superfoods to include in your diet:
3.) Whole Grains (brown rice, steel cut oats, quinoa, etc)
Whole cultures thrive on these little nuggets of goodness and so should we. They are full of good carbs, minus the preservatives, and they are low glycemic, so they don’t give you highs and lows (which equal moodiness, unhealthiness, and more hunger). They give you energy, health and vitality and are a easy way to incorporate natural into a daily fare of processed foods.

4.) Tea (green, white, black, herbal, etc)
Though technically not a food, I cannot stress enough the greatness of tea. It can be anything you want it to be– medicinal, refreshment, soother, supplement, energizer. And all it takes is a tea bag/leaves, hot water and a mug.
My obsession of the moment is Kombucha tea, which can be found at any health food store. This tea is a pre-packaged drink that comes in many different flavors and is great for digestive health because it contains probiotics. I like it because it fills me up rather easily and thus, I eat less.
5.) Legumes (black beans, lentils, great northern beans, etc)
A funny name for a funny food, legumes are a great source of protein, vitamins, and fiber. They are filling, go great with almost anything and are a digestive health wonder. And if you’re worried about all the digestive help you will get (i.e. of the gas variety), skim the foam that’s produced when the beans cook–it’s this foam that causes unseemly gas.
Including these 5 superfoods in your every day helps keep you healthy, well and fit. And who doesn’t want that?
