Our bodies are constantly exposed to harmful outside influences, such as pollution, sun, electromagnetic fields, etc. and our own poor diet choices. It’s no wonder that we need our organs to be true superheroes to keep us in shape for all the challenges we’re facing. But sometimes Batman can’t make it on his own, and that’s when Robin comes into play. The same happens with our superheroes that require helpers in order to complete their tasks of making us healthy. For our organs, those helpers are superfoods. Let us see how these nutrition-packed foods can help them keep our organism function properly.
Eat Fresh, Feel Fresh
Do you feel tired all the time? You get your 8 hours of sleep, you rest as much as you need, and you still feel like you’ve been partying like it’s 1999? If you’ve answered these questions with ‘yes’, some improvements in your diet could help you feel more energetic. One of the reasons you might be feeling irritable, sluggish, weak and unable to focus, is lack of iron in your organism. Some of the superfoods that are great for addressing iron-deficiency are spinach, soybeans, whole grain bread, oatmeal, pomegranates and beetroot. Foods loaded with simple carbs and sugar can also leave you feeling fatigued, so consider replacing fast food and candies with brown rice, sweet potato and salmon. Other great food choices that will help you feel fresh are maca powder, raw organic cacao, chia seeds, coconut, goji berries, and flaxseeds. It is important to try to consume most of these nutritious delights in their fresh, unprocessed form to get the best results.
Eat Smart, Feel Smart
Your brain is always working, even when you’re not. It takes care of your breathing, heartbeats, senses, thoughts and movements, so it is the ultimate superhero in your body and it deserves the best helpers out there. Eating high-quality foods that are packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, protects the brain from oxidative stress. Help your brain cope with the innumerable data every day by feeding it the right foods. Walnuts can boost your memory and improve your thinking power, while wild salmon can increase blood flow to the brain. The ingredients found in blueberries, spinach, broccoli, turmeric and tomatoes can help your brain remain sharp and increase your recall abilities. Enriching your diet with these superfoods will, in the long term, contribute to an overall better attention span and brain power, but it will also help prevent mental illnesses, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Pick Natural, Pick Healthy
If you are ever wondering what sort of food you should be eating, there is only one way to go. Opting for natural food that is made from ingredients that can be found everywhere around us is the only option you should consider because these are the only products that will boost your physical and mental health, helping you look and feel better than ever. These natural products might seem hard to find in this day and age when almost everyone is eating junk food, but you would be surprised to learn how many tasty healthy products you can find on the market. From nuts and fruits to teas and honey, you can find completely healthy alternatives for all the food you love, including your favorite snacks!
Boost Your Health, Boost Yourself
Good health is the foundation for personal growth. If you’re not taking care of yourself under the excuse of not having enough time, you should be aware that later on, you’ll probably have to invest even more time to cure your illnesses. Herbal medicines contain a huge range of vitamins and minerals that can help you improve your health, which makes them non time-consuming ways to boost your health, but you should also try your best to maintain a balanced diet and recommended level of physical activity (150 minutes of cardio per week). Use superfoods like edamame, brazil nuts, kiwi, dark chocolate and Greek yogurt and your journey towards self-improvement will be made much easier.
If superhero movies have ever taught us something, it is that the good guys always win, but only if they have the right support. So help your organs help you, by feeding them with the right nutrients.
