10 SUPERFOODS You Should Be Eating for Ultimate Health! – Part 2

6. CHIA SEEDS - With chia seeds, you receive an enormous amount of nutrients into a low-calorie food. Just one serving of chia seeds gives you 30% of your RDA of manganese, 30% of your RDA of magnesium, and 27% of your RDA of phosphorus.

They are also a great source of high-quality protein, something your body needs for muscle building. With their protein and fiber content, chia seeds can aid in weight loss as well.

7. EGGS – We all know that eggs are an incredible source of protein, but what else can this food do for our health? Well, they actually contain almost every nutrient your body needs, including vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.

Eggs help to keep your HDL (good) cholesterol level high, which helps reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. One final note, eggs contain a healthy amount of choline, an uncommon nutrient that 90% of the US population aren’t getting enough of – and since it aids in methylation (process of building DNA), nerve function and muscle movement, it is a fairly important nutrient for your body.

8. SPINACH - Spinach is a very nutrient-rich vegetable, so much that it earns the title of “superfood”. This low calorie food helps to reduce oxidative stress (which promotes a faster aging process), improve eye health, and reduce your chances of heart disease or cancer.

9. KIWI - Kiwi is a very flavorful fruit, and it’s one that also comes with an abundance of nutrients. Kiwis can help reduce asthma and its symptoms, due to its extremely high Vitamin C content.

This Vitamin C source also promotes a health immune system to prevent illness. Finally, since the kiwi offers a large source of zeaxanthin and lutein eating 3 servings of this fruit each day can help to protect your vision from getting worse.

10. ASPARAGUS – Asparagus helps our bodies function correctly in a number of ways. For one, it gives us half of our daily recommendation of Vitamin K, essential for strong, healthy bones.

It is also a natural diuretic, so it helps prevent bloating and promotes healthy kidney function. Asparagus has also been known to help battle several types of cancer and keep it from growing inside the body.
