Super Foods and Why They’re Super
I just wrote an article about “super foods”. Many of you have heard about many of these foods; if you are a patient of mine or have attended one of my lectures on nutrition, you have no doubt herd of them. Here are the foods I have deemed “super” in this article:
- “Lean and Clean” Red Meat (93% lean, top round, or sirloin)
- Wild-caught Salmon
- Omega 3 Eggs
- Low-fat, plain, Greek yogurt
- Supplemental Protein
- Spinach
- Tomatoes
- Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower)
- Avocados
- Mixed Berries
- Oranges
- Mixed Beans
- Quinoa (Ancient grains)
- Whole Oats (large flake)
- Mixed Nuts
- Olive oil
- Fish oil
- Flax seeds
- Green tea
I wanted to write something down and explain why I have considered them as such so I could use this as a handout in my Portland, Oregon nutrition, chiropractic, hypnosis and functional medicine clinic, Optimum Function. I will most likely ad to this list but here’s a link so you can download it and go to the grocery store right now
