This superfoods are a great way to get fiber into your diet.

1. Garbanzo Beans

Beans are on the top of the list for their high fibrous content and vitamins. These beans are especially plentiful in B vitamins and are perfect for helping your health. In addition, the fibrous nature of these beans help promote digestion, leaving your gut happy and healthy. Garbanzo beans are perfect for incorporating into salads or side dishes. But be aware that not all beans are created equal. Beans such as pinto or refried beans have a high starch and fat content. And while they may be delicious, they do not have the same nutritional value of that of garbanzo beans. In addition, these beans are one of the few that taste great in salads. By mixing them with a splash of apple cider vinegar, cherry tomatoes and fresh mint, you can make something that is both healthy and delicious. For your next healthy snacking occasion, try garbanzo beans.

3. Salmon

While this might seem like a strange contender on our superfoods list, salmon is packed full of nutrients. Salmon contains a vitamin that is rarely found in other kinds of meats such as chicken or beef. This vitamin is known as omega 3 fatty acid. This fat is especially vital for our health and has been shown to lower blood pressure. It has also been proven that by eating food that has omega 3 in it, your hair and nails grow shiner and stronger. Salmon is a healthy and delicious way to help keep your blood pressure low and your stomach happy. And the best part, there are 100s of recipes to choose from. I personally love baking salmon, with 4 lemon wedges, 1 pinch oregano, 1 pinch cayenne pepper, 1 pinch salt and 1 pinch pepper. And if you’re really ambitious, top it up with some light freshly grated parmesan. Begin by preheating your oven to 450F. And let it bake for 12 to 15 minutes, making sure to let it rest after removing it from heat. The meat of the salmon is light, flakey and delicate. The skin adds that perfect sense of crunch to that fat sweet meat. When you’re looking to improve your health and have a delicious protein packed meal, try salmon out for your next dinner.

While all salad does have health benefits, did you know that some veggies have more nutrients than others? Dark leafy greens such as kale, spinach, bok choy and broccoli, are packed full of antioxidants that help your digestive system process foods. In addition, it has been shown that these nutrients can help improve bone strength and boost your immune system. In this very uncertain time of COVID-19, what better way to start off the year right than boosting your immune system? Yet if you’re like me, it can be difficult to find veggies that you enjoy eating. Yet with so many veggies to choose from, it can be fast and easy. I personally love salads. When I’m not feeling like veggies, I will make a mixed berry salad,with blueberries, strawberries and spring mix lettuce. I lightly toss it in a raspberry vinaigrette and top it off with almonds ( also full of antioxidants) and enjoy. When you’re looking for a way to improve the health of your digestive tract and help give your immune system that special boost it’s been craving, try out dark leafy greens for your next dinner.
