My Favorite Superfoods!
Howdy Health Pioneers,
I thought we’d try something new for 2012—Oldies but Goodies! Starting today, on Thursdays I’ll post a previous article. Together we’ve built up a lot of content, and I don’t want you to miss one juicy morsel just because it’s been awhile. In the meantime, I’ll be working on a redesigning the site based on your responses to the survey in November including making it easier to navigate and find the info you need. Wowzers, are you smart! Thanks for your feedback, and enjoy our first featured Oldie but Goodie article from Ani Phyo (below).
Peace & veggies,
KC
I try my best to make sure I nutrify with the following raw food superfoods everyday for optimal health and vitality. Plus, when my body’s getting all the nutrients it needs, I feel satisfied so I have less cravings and eat less too. This leads to a healthy inside, which shows up on the outside as clear skin and eyes, shiny hair, healthy nails and that glow of radiance. So eat up and beautify!
- Blue green algae like E3Live, either in flakes or the frozen whole version. This raw food can be a bit intense, but is super for strengthening our immune system. I put a couple Tablespoons in a morning smoothie to mask the taste.
- Kelp noodles and sea vegetables, high in minerals, fat free, gluten free, wheat free, low in carbohydrates and calories. Kelp Noodles are a raw food, and have only 6, that’s six, calories a serving! A great natural source of iodine too.
- Maca root powder, strengthens our adrenals to handle stress, and balances hormonal levels. Stronger adrenals means greater health overall.
- Omegas from raw, sprouted hemp, flax and chia. I blend it all into my morning smoothie. I also love placing a couple Tablespoons of chia in a bowl with dried fruits like goji berries and golden berries. Both are high in antioxidants to combat free radical damage and oxidation of our cells, keeping us looking and feeling more youthful and vibrant. Soak chia and fruit in your favorite nut milk for 5-10 minutes to hydrate into a gel, and enjoy! Chia holds a ton of water, and keeps our skin hydrated.
- Antioxidants from acai, blueberry, mangosteen. Navitas Naturals has a great raw food mix of these in powder form, which I put in my smoothies.
