Superfoods for the Superwoman

Ladies- take a look at this comprehensive list of foods every woman should incorporate into their diet.

Wild Alaskan Salmon- the omega-3s in wild salmon help promote a healthy pregnancy. Salmon also helps protect us against cancer and depression.  Why buy wild? Farmed salmons have high rates of toxins.
Wild Blueberries- Of course everyone knows, they are high in antioxidants. They also help fight wrinkles. Only 80 calories in a cup! Why buy wild? Wild blueberries have the highest levels of antioxidants.
Oats- Apart from lowering cholesterol, oats also help with weight control. Oats are high in fiber, which makes you feel full for longer. Steel cut has the most fiber, but also takes the longest to cook.
Broccoli- Helps to fight breast cancer by lowering estrogen levels. Broccoli also has a high amount of fiber and is a low calorie food- only 30 calories per serving.
Walnuts- The true wonderfood. Walnuts can help you lower your cholesterol, sleep better, lower risks for cancer, boost your brain power, and even lower your stress symptoms. What woman would not want walnuts?
Avocado- The mono-saturated fats in avocados actually help you to loose belly fat! They also help fight heart disease and fertility problems.
Red Beans- Pretty much any bean is good for you, but red beans have a high amount of a fiber called resistant starch. This type of fiber is like normal fiber on overload. It keeps you feeling fuller for longer, lowers your blood sugars, and reduces your risk of cancer.
Greek Yogurt- Rich in calcium and high in pro-biotics. Both of these help to boost your immune system.
Olive Oil- May help fight breast cancer and is also a great brain food! Using two tablespoons a day in your cooking can help you lower your risk for heart disease.
Dark Chocolate- Yum! Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants, which can help prevent heart attacks and strokes. It is also packed with nutrients that support bone health! Who doesn't love chocolate...

But remember, everything in moderation!
