Remember when I started this series a while ago? You can read the last post here: https://clairetyblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/superfoods-of-starches/ A superfood is a food that fuels your body and has nutritious benefits. Sounds awesome right? Well it is! So, let’s get started and EAT UP!

Avocado

One avocado provides your body with vitamins A, C, E, K and B6
Avocados are anti-aging, can improve eye health, and help to regulate blood sugar
Avocados are a complete protein. But unlike a meat like steak, the avocado protein is easy for your body to absorb.

Salmon

Salmon contains vital ingredients for a healthy diet: protein, essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants (vitamins D, E, B-carotene, minerals zinc, iron, copper, manganese and selenium) vitamin A, a range of B vitamins, as well as calcium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium
A natural source of Omega-3 which has been shown to help in preventing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and depression.
Omega-3s are essential because they cannot be produced naturally by the human body.
Not to mention, salmon is low carb and high protein.

Egg

Eggs will keep you fuller longer while slimming your waistline. So try an omelet next time you’re grabbing for that bagel.
One egg is only about 72 calories, packing in healthy fat, protein (6 grams per egg!) and vitamins.
Eggs are one of the few foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.
