Superfoods are extremely nutritious foods that can have a big impact on your health & fitness. Adding these to your diet can give your workout a real boost when you need it!
Superfoods have the power to;
> Boost your energy levels
> Keep you going for longer
> Help your brain function
> Help with muscle recovery
These three superfoods are perfect to help power your workout and deliver sustained energy, balance and recovery:
1. Chia Seeds
The small but mighty chia seed is a powerhouse of nutrients. Chia is a tiny seed, harvested from the plant, Salvia hispanica and added to food to boost nutrition. They help with water balance, weight-loss as they are low in calories and help provide sustained energy. They also have omega 3s, an important component of heart and brain health.
2. Maca
This Peruvian root is known to boost energy, balance hormones, help with PMS and increase sex drive. It’s also an adaptogen, meaning it has the ability to balance out your system's needs in all areas, keeping the body in homeostasis.
3. Rice Protein
Brown rice protein powder provides a convenient plant-based source of protein that is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is also perfect for those with dairy, soy and/or gluten allergies. This protein is perfect to aid muscle recovery, controls blood sugar levels and is great for those who find whey protein harsh on their stomach.
Superfoods are readily available these days, we have so many to chose from on our website, www.nuanaturals.com, so play around with the ones that interest you, educate yourself and experience them in your own body.
Remember: they work differently for everyone so while maca might be amazing for me, you may respond better to wheatgrass.
