Our Top 5 Superfoods

1. Blueberries – Host to more antioxidants than any other North American fruit, blueberries help prevent cancer, diabetes, and age-related memory changes. Studies show that blueberries are rich in fiber and vitamins A and C, and help boost cardiovascular health, as well. Fresh, frozen, or dried, blueberries are an ideal addition to any diet. 
2. Oats- Oats are packed with plenty of nutritious carbs, and the release of these sugars is slowed by the generous amount of fiber, delivering steady, muscle-friendly energy. Oats also contain a whopping 10 grams of protein per ½ cup, which, combined with the fiber, makes the perfect breakfast or mid-morning snack to keep you full, focused, and fueled.
3. Yogurt – While yogurt is a great source of bone-building calcium, its real strength lies in its live bacteria, known as probiotics. Probiotics help reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in your gut. Eating more yogurt can not only help with inflammatory bowel disease and ulcers, but with urinary tract and yeast infections, as well.
4. Spinach – Super green and leafy, spinach is a nutritional powerhouse. This noted muscle builder is a rich source of plant-based omega-3s and folate, which reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. It’s also one of the 10 salad greens healthier than kale! 

Olive Oil – The main benefit of olive oil is that it lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol and raises “good” HDL cholesterol due to its monounsaturated fat content. Olive oil is also packed with antioxidants called phenols, which may protect artery walls from cholesterol build-up that could otherwise cause heart disease. Up to 1 tablespoon a day can help you get the most out of this oil’s heart healthy benefits and antioxidants!
