7 Healing Foods to SUPERCHARGE Your Diet

I often offer advice on what you shouldn’t eat.

It’s easy to point out what we’re doing wrong with our diet. After all, processed foods are cheap and readily available. And they fit perfectly into our busy lifestyle.

So, let’s flip the script, and I’ll share what foods you should munch on MORE.

Following are seven delicious and HEALING foods you should put on the menu more often…

  • Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are nutritional powerhouses. These greens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support everything from heart health to bone strength. Add them to smoothies and salads, or sauté them as a side dish.
  • Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are delicious and rich in antioxidants. These compounds help fight inflammation and can reduce your risk of chronic diseases. Enjoy them as a snack, or add them to salads, oatmeal, or your morning yogurt.
  • Fatty Fish: Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are crucial for brain function and may help reduce heart disease risk. Aim for at least two servings of fatty fish per week.
  • Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are nutrient-dense foods that provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They make perfect snacks and can easily be incorporated into various dishes for added crunch and nutrition.
  • Fermented Foods: Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain beneficial probiotics that support gut health. A healthy gut microbiome is linked to improved digestion, stronger immunity, and better mental health.
  • Colorful Vegetables: Bright, colorful veggies such as bell peppers, carrots, and sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. The different colors indicate various beneficial compounds, so aim to “eat the rainbow” for a wide range of nutrients.
  • Good Quality Proteins: Incorporating high-quality protein sources into your diet is crucial for muscle maintenance, immune function, and overall health. Eggs are a superb choice, packed with nutrients beyond just protein. Greek yogurt not only provides protein but also probiotics for gut health. When choosing protein sources, aim for variety to ensure you get a full range of amino acids and additional nutrients.

When you incorporate more of these healthy and healing foods into your diet, you’ll provide your body with a wealth of nutrients essential for optimal health.

Remember, variety is vital. Mix and match these foods to create delicious, balanced meals that nourish your body while delighting your taste buds.

P.S. Common diet mistake sends dementia risk soaring.
