Don’t weigh yourself down with processed foods, simple carbohydrates, and junk. Get back to the basics and see your energy levels rise. Find the superhuman in you! Decide to munch on the following empowering superfoods - you’ll get a good dose of vitamins and minerals as well as a whack of health benefits.

Blueberries: are loaded with phytochemicals, particularly anthocyanins, as are purple grapes and cherries. They also help to prevent inflammation, lower heart disease risk, as well as maintain cognitive function.

Edamame: soybeans are a great source of lean protein and low in saturated fat. Edamame can be found fresh in your produce section or frozen and added to salads or eaten in the pods with dip.

Sweet potatoes: a good source of beta carotene like you find in carrots, apricots and cantaloupe. They are a low glycemic food with a nice fiber content.

Watermelon: over 90% water, the red color indicates the phytochemical lycopene plus the added benefits of iron and potassium.

Mesclun salad mix: mesclun typically means a variety of salad greens in one mix. Increasing the number of greens that you consume helps prevent age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) or the loss of central vision. These mixes are also a source of iron and lutein.

Be mindful of what you put in your body now and you may see fewer health-related problems in the future. These are more than just fruits and veggies, they are powerful foods that pack a big nutritious punch!
