1.
Wild salmon (or a pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplement)
To help your body burn fat more efficiently, to make
your mind more focused and spiritually inclined. Fish
oil also raises serotonin levels which is especially
important for women because women have half the level
of serotonin in their brains when compared to men.
This explains why women are twice as likely to be
diagnosed with depression. Fish oil also makes your
hair and skin healthy.
2. Old fashioned or steel cut oatmeal
Oatmeal is inexpensive, has a low glycemic index,
it's high in fiber, and contains GLA. GLA in the right
amounts helps regulate hormone levels.
3. Acai berries
Acai berries are available in unsweetened frozen packs
or encapsulated in supplements. Acai berries are grown
on the equator on tree tops where they build such
a huge antioxidant capacity because fruits use antioxidants
to protect themselves from the sun's powerful rays.
Acai berries trump blueberries in the antioxidant
capacity.
4. Organic sweet potatoes
The deep orange color of an organic sweet potato speaks
volumes of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The
average commercial sweet potato grown in depleted
soil are not so vibrant. Sweet potatoes are also low
glycemic.
5. Cashews: Cashews are a great source
of monounsaturated fat and they are also considered
a super food because they are grown in warm and humid
environments close to the equator.
6. Avocado:
High in monounsaturated fat which is good for your
metabolism, as well as vibrant skin. The vitamins,
minerals and antioxidants can be seen with the naked
eye.
7. Organic
Farm raised eggs:
Few foods can match the nutritional power of an egg
yolk. The modern philosophy of balanced eating has
overturned the fear of cholesterol because balanced
insulin and blood sugar decreases cholesterol production
in the body. Only 15-20% of the cholesterol in your
body came from your food, meanwhile 99% of the doctors
in America do not know this and promote nutritional
theories that were alive when they got their degree
30, 40, 50 years ago. People feed yolks to make their
dogs coat healthy: they can do the same for human
skin and hair. Yolks however have arachidonic acid,
a type of fat that should be limited in your diet.
8. Stem, stalk and leafy vegetables
(broccoli, kale, spinach, etc): For roughage, water,
and vitamins & minerals.
9. Raw cacao
Women usually crave chocolate during the menstrual
cycle to escape the hormonal storm experienced during
this time. Raw cacao contains anandamide, substance
that mimics marijuana, thus giving people a sensation
of bliss. Raw cacao also has high amounts of magnesium,
most Americans are deficient in magnesium.
10.
Berries
Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries contain
a high level of antioxidants and a very low glycemic
index which is the best combo when it comes to carbohydrates.
