Super Foods You Should Eat Every Week

Super foods are nutrient dense foods that give you a lot of bang for your buck, so to speak. Here are 10 nutrient-rich Super Foods you should try to incorporate into your diet every week.

Omega-3 Rich Fish

Whether it’s salmon or any other omega-3 fatty acid rich fish, eat this once a week to reduce inflammation, enjoy a large dose of protein, and full of vitamin B.

Berries

Whether they’re blueberries, strawberries, or even acai berries, they’re all very fiber-dense foods. This means that they will help your digestive system function well. They’re also full of  cancer-fighting antioxidants.

Cinnamon

If you’re diabetic or need help leveling out your blood sugar, make sure you’re getting plenty of cinnamon in your diet! Sneaky ways to eat it include: putting it in oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, or even in meat dishes.

Kale and Spinach

By eating kale and other leafy greens, you’re giving your body the fiber that it needs to function properly. They’re full of vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, iron, and magnesium.

Almonds and Avocado

You shouldn’t be afraid of fat in your diet, but it needs to be the right kind of fat. Eating these foods will help you feel fuller, longer and will help you have a healthier heart and general health. Other good fats include flax seeds, coconuts, and a few more.

Chicken and Eggs

Baked chicken is a great way to get a lot of protein packed into your meal! Look for antibiotic-free, hormone-free chicken! Eggs are another protein-dense food and, best of all, they’re quick and easy to make!

Sweet Potatoes

Can you say vitamin C? The orange inside of sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin C, as well as vitamins A, B6, fiber, and more.
