Brazil Nuts' Superpower
Bring in the new year by starting a new habit that will benefit your health. It's not even a hard one, so you can actually keep this year's resolution! Just eat one Brazil nut every day (but not more than that) to ensure that you are taking in enough selenium in your diet. This powerful nutrient is an essential mineral found to have a profound effect on our health! It's critical in protecting us from toxins and fighting diseases.
Seafood News Flash!
Contrary to previous recommendations, new government guidelines recommend that everyone, especially pregnant and breastfeeding women and children, consume seafood two to three times per week! Seafood contains nutrients that are difficult to find in other foods that most people aren't getting enough of.
Egg Yolks: The Good Guys
Eggs – including the yolks – are the good guys, not the bad guys! Truly a superfood (for those not sensitive or allergic to eggs) if there ever was one, they are packed full of nutrients that are not as prevalent in other foods. Don't worry, the charges have been dropped and egg yolks have been been cleared of previous accusations that they cause heart disease. Eggs are not all equal in nutritional content, but they all provide an inexpensive, quick, high quality protein that can enhance your health and appearance!
Marvelous Mushrooms
Mushrooms are packed with phytonutrients that help the immune system fight sickness and prevent unwanted inflammation. They're also full of vitamins and minerals not usually found in vegetables, and this is all in addition to a wonderful, savory taste, with lots of fiber and few calories.
