Food for Health
August 20, 2010 | Health Care
It’s hard to keep up with the latest trends in nutrition and so much talk of superfoods with high nutrient and low calories. Fruit such as blueberries and pomegranates have large level of antioxidants. Certainly in the case of blueberries and pomegranates you don’t have to worry about flavor. It’s amazing the variety of tastes you can create with the two fruits alone. Add some bananas and you are really rocking.
Some other things seem more exotic, like Chlorella, a single cell algae with a very high level of protein. I watched a T.V. show where the host drank a large beaker full of the green algae. The reaction was not very good. Luckily they come in pills and powder so you can make your own shakes or just drink a pill down with water. Chlorella really represents a type of liquid vitamin supplements when it’s hydrated. It’s amazing to see all the dietary alternatives and energy supplements available. Mixing something like Chlorella and blueberries in a shake can get you off to a great start to the day.
It’s funny though because I think back to my grandfather and all the nutritional supplements he took with a long life to show for it. He would take wheat germ and fish oil along with a wide range of minerals and vitamins. I have not moved to the wheat germ yet but who knows?
