Healthy Love Bites

SuperFood to the rescue~

Many have come to know that super foods that are known to provide generous amounts of vitamins and nutrients for a good health. They form the foundation of many forms of the raw food diet and are believed to contain properties that help with a wide range of health disorders.

Are you aware of the types of superFood around us?

Well, not everyone knows the types of superFood so, here are 6 amazing superFood that will help give you a better quality of life.

1. Raw Chocolate

Many people love chocolate, but not many people are familiar with raw chocolate. Unlike the processed milk chocolate that is found in many candy bars, raw chocolate has all the benefits and few of the drawbacks.

Raw chocolate has a lot of magnesium. This makes it ideal for helping with nervous conditions, as magnesium helps to calm the nervous system. Serotonin is also found in raw chocolate, which is necessary for proper brain function. Much of this is due to the antioxidant content. You get more anti-oxidants in raw chocolate than in green tea or even blueberries.

There is no caffeine in raw chocolate, but there is a stimulant known as Theoromine, which is very helpful with respiratory issues, such as asthma.

2. Goji Berries

Hailing from Tibet, these tasty berries provide plenty of fiber and Vitamin C. With over 21 trace minerals found in the berries, they are ideal sources of nutrition. Goji berries are rich in anti-oxidants and amino acids, making them more effective than such staples as carrots and spinach.

The combination of nutrients in Goji berries is thought to provide a great boost to the immune system, enhancing the ability to deal with bacteria in the body. The nutritional content is also thought to be helpful with such ailments as insomnia, diabetes, high blood pressure, and excess cholesterol. All in all, these berries pack quite a whallop.

3. Maca

Grown in Peru, maca has the appearance of a radish, but the sweetness of a fruit. As part of any raw food diet, maca brings a lot to the table. The fruit is a great source of protein, and also contains a nice range of vitamins.

Maca is said to be a great way to boost or maintain energy levels. It has something of a reputation as an aphrodisiac that helps to maintain libido and endurance in both men and women. While not working with the speed of nuclear medications, maca does help build up the body and provide benefits that are long lasting. The fruit is sometimes used by herbalists and homeopathic physicians as a means of naturally regulating blood pressure and restoring a balance when physical and emotional stresses through the body and mind out of sync.

4. Bee Pollen

Bee pollen has a concentration of over 96 different essential nutrients. Many hail it as one of the most effective raw foods on the planet. Bee pollen promotes energy, provides a lot of protein, and helps to remove toxins from the body. Even a couple of capsules a day will make a huge difference for many people who are literally starving for the right type of nutrients.

5. Hemp Seed

Raw hemp seeds provide the Omega 3 and 5 fatty acids that help to lower cholesterol and keep circulation flowing properly. While not containing high amounts of various nutrients, there are trace amounts that help to compliment other sources. Because the seed does not have to germinate before consumption, it is easily digested in the system, so the benefits begin to appear in a short period of time.

6. Wheatgrass

Rich in chlorophyll, wheatgrass also provides some of the most basic minerals needed in the daily diet. As a significant source of magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc, and potassium, wheatgrass can be a great substitute for dairy products on a raw food diet. Generally, juicing the wheatgrass along with other fruits and vegetables yields a juice that is tasty and loaded with much of what you need every day to be healthy. The blend of nutrients helps to calm bodily cravings for food in the early stages of a diet, and continue to provide excellent nutrition moving forward.

If you are serious about getting into shape, check into the usage of these six super foods. You may be surprised at what a huge difference they will make in your life.

Happy eating.

Weight has been an issue with many people all over the world and I’m pretty darn sure that the numbers will not go down as with the types of food around us, the baby boomer generation will be the next in line to suffer from this chaotic problem.

Oh yes, they definitely will unless the humans start taking precaution on the type of food they eat and manufacturers become more considerate by moving into the healthy food direction then at least, it will help in sustaining the numbers as they are.

Some people have realized the problems and are taking an initiative to modify their lifestyle habits to an extent but usually, they give up at the end of the day. They just don’t realize that it cannot be settled overnight. If you are just looking at changing your lifestyle for a short period of time, I can tell you that you will end up pretty disappointed with your weight loss efforts and will not want to do it anymore.

That’s where the problem looms. Besides diet and exercises there is another factor that will play a major role in your success.

Motivation. This is the key factor!

So, here are two motivation examples which you should practice to fight off the excess weight.

~

The first thing you should do is to avoid self-sabotaging thoughts!

In terms of taking fake diet pills, self-sabotaging thoughts will do you more harm compared to those pills. If you keep telling yourself that you cannot do those things in order to lose weight, your goals definitely can’t be achieved. “I cannot do sit-ups and push-ups”. These are the constant excuses people always give themselves before they really even tried it.

Ok, so you really cannot do 30 push-ups. Why don’t you start off small? Like 5 – 10? Start with 10 push-ups and congratulate yourself after it’s completed successfully. Then, you can gradually increase the numbers in your routine until you reach your target of 30 push-ups. Can’t do 5 – 10 still? Then just start off with 1 but the road there will take a little more time.

Just take action and DO it, if you think too much, nothing will materialize and it would be wiser to spend the time on developing thoughts and criticism into exercises. Just thinking about losing weight will not help you but if you take actions, that is another whole story~

The next motivation is another common thing which people never notice, “You can never stand alone!”

You will need all the support you can get to keep yourself determined and motivated. Gather as much support as you can, regardless of family and friends. Just make sure your supporters understand and support your goals. It makes no difference if your family and friends constantly find fault in you, this in turn will make you de-motivated and disappointed. So, make sure you find those that are going all out to help you reach your dreams.

If you are following a weight loss program, always get one that can offer its members support in the form of either a support group or forum where everyone can discuss their problems and tips from peers and experts alike.

If you can successfully harness the power of those motivational keys, there is NO reason (Yea, you heard me~ NO reason at all) to be unable to lose weight! Everything that you believe in your mind can be achieved. Believe that you can lose weight and you will. Sounds cliché but is very much true!

All the best in managing your weight~
