Top 6 Super Seeds That Promote Optimal Health
Spinach
Spinach may help prevent various heart diseases. It doesn’t have a strong grassy taste compared to kale, for example. So, you will not taste it in your green smoothie.
Bananas
Orange
Mango
The fruit has a complex effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring the normalization of impaired functions.
Pineapple
Cucumber
Hemp Seeds
Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter is not only yummy but it is very healthy indeed. It contains many vitamins, minerals, plant compounds, and antioxidants. Peanuts and peanut butter are one of the top sources of arginine, a type of amino acid involved in protein synthesis. A 2010 study suggests that the arginine content of nuts may boost fat–burning in the body.
As for water: do not forget to drink it in its pure form, 1.5-2 liters per day 😊
