Its Friday once again and this week our challenge involves eating one of the food groups that are known as superfoods because of the high levels of nutrients, antioxidant and minerals they contain to help us stay healthy.
can you challenge yourself for one week?
You can either eat a different superfood every day, choose the same one every day or find one and eat it 2-3 times then change to another for the rest of the week. How you work this out is up to you the most important thing here is finding a superfood that you wouldn’t normally eat and include it in your meals for the week.
You can find a blog post on 3 highly nutritional superfoods <— click the link to read it.
Below is a sample list of superfoods you can consider:
- Almonds
- Brazil nuts (and most seeds and nuts except salted peanuts)
- Broccoli
- Butternut squash
- Green leafy vegetables (e.g. spinach)
- Salmon (Sardines, Kippers and other oily fish)
- Sweet potato
- Oats
You can easily eat 6-7 nuts with your lunch and you have introduced one superfood already! See if you can introduce these foods into your normal eating plan rather than go out of your way to make something special (although you can do that too).
If you need help with changing the way you eat a nutritionist can help you do that easily by showing you how easy it is to introduce new foods. Call us on 0131 221 1415 to speak to our nutritionist.
