What kind of decisions do you make for your family when it comes to their diet? Are you making the best decisions possible? This can be a challenge for any person and any family because we are often bombarded with food options that are often unhealthy. Even worse, many foods claim to be healthy, but really are not that healthy.
People used to look toward nature and to specific healthy foods to cure ailments and disease. Today we often look for man-made drugs to fight off illness. When I first became pregnant, I became more and more interested in eating more healthy and making sure I had the best diet possible for me and my growing child. I realized that many foods could help increase my energy during pregnancy and breastfeeding and that many foods could aid in helping me lose the baby weight. I also realized that in choosing healthy foods to eat I was setting a good example for my children.
Did you know that you can reduce certain symptoms, eliminate illness, and lower risks for diseases by choosing specific healthy foods to eat? For example, flax oil can help reduce the symptoms of ADHD while sardines and salmon can help with depression. Certain types of nuts have even been shown to help women lose weight.
It's true, certain foods do have medicinal properties that can improve your life. Three, among a few others, are acai, hazelnuts, and barley. These foods are beyond just adding variety to your diet. They are actual "power house" foods that can improve the way you feel and help fight off illness.
Acai contains many antioxidants and has been shown to help protect the immune system from physical stress. It comes in juice or frozen pulp form, as it cannot be imported in actual berry form. Grown mainly in Brazil, it is a food staple in Amazon communities.
Hazelnuts can easily be added to your diet. You can put them into your baked goods such as breads and cookies, add them to your stir-frys, put them into your pancakes, throw them on a salad or into yogurt, or just eat plain or roasted. They are also high in antioxidents including phytonutrients and Vitamin E which help the body repair itself and strengthen the immune system.
The last of the three healthy foods to eat is Barley. Containing beta-glucans, this food can increase your immune function as well as lower cholesterol. Barley has been around for 10,000 years and commonly used in beer-making; however, you can add barley into your diet in a few ways. You can make soups, stews, add to salads, grind into flour for baking, or make it into a hot cereal for breakfast.
Acai, hazelnuts, and barley are three foods you can add to your diet. They may make you feel better, help fight off common ailments, and benefit you nutritionally as well. Your local grocery or health food store should carry all of the items as well.
