I watched The Early Show on CBS today and there was this dietician that showed some of the top superfoods for women and how you can include them in your diet.
Here’s the list of 10 superfoods for your diet:
1. Wild salmon
2. Oats
3. Wild blueberries
4. Walnuts
5. Broccoli
6. Greek yogurt
7. Olive oil
8. Dark chocolate
9. Avocado
10. Red beans
Salmon, she said, is important for its heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, salmon has vitamin D which is another essential nutrient that we’re not getting enough of.
Greek yogurt makes the list because of its calcium content. Just one serving, she said, provides nearly a quarter of a woman’s daily calcium needs. As for olive oil, it is a great heart-healthy food and helps with longevity.
Blueberries are great because they are super high in antioxidants. “They can help prevent memory loss and improve motor skills and even fight wrinkles,” she said. “They’re an all-natural anti-aging remedy.” To achieve the maximum effects of blueberries, eat a cup a day.
Avocados made the list, too. Rich in mono-unsaturated fats, avocados can help you lose belly fat.
