5 SUPERFOODS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
Flaxseed, chia seeds, raw chocolate, I don't need to explain that to you, right? Open your Facebook, a magazine, Instagram, or whatever. You'll come across it. But there are new powders, flakes, and herbs that will make you even healthier and slimmer. Provided you diligently do that every day. 30 days ab challenge of course.
Teff can be somewhat compared to oatmeal. I often cook this grain with a bit of milk (rice, almond, or cow's milk, whatever you want) in a pot. Let it simmer gently and you're good to go. Delicious with a bit of fruit and nuts.
Teff is wheat-free, gluten-free, cow's milk-free, lactose-free, yeast-free, soy protein-free, soy oil-free, without added salt, without refined carbohydrates or sugars. Well, if we can't call this a superfood, what can we call it? Why isn't this terribly popular on Instagram yet?
Kelp looks like pasta, but contains no wheat and no carbohydrates and is very low in calories. Heaven! It is made from brown seaweed with a very high iron content. You can cook it or eat it raw. Make a salad with it along with a nice tomato (pasta) sauce. This way, it's just like spaghetti. You can also stir-fry it as a substitute for noodles.
Maybe you know it in the form of cream. If you've been severely sunburned, this works as a good cooling agent for your skin. But you can also drink it; it helps with difficult bowel movements. It keeps the kidneys clean because it helps maintain blood sugar levels and improves the liver, digestive system, and skin. You have it in many variants, often with a flavor added or a lot of sugar. So check the packaging carefully. At the Toko, you can buy pure Aloe Vera Perfect for your smoothie.
This bright green detox powder works wonders when it comes to cleansing your liver. Chlorella is perfect after a night out. It is full of vitamins, minerals, and proteins and ensures good, healthy intestines and digestion (bowel movements, that is) and supports the regulation of your blood sugar levels (prevents dips and thus binge eating). This is definitely not something to just nibble on with a spoon; I'm afraid you'll be sick. By mixing it with your smoothie or yogurt with muesli, it's quite manageable. It also comes in pill form.
Maca comes from Peru and is also a little energy bomb. A scoop in your smoothie and you immediately get enough minerals for the whole day. It contains a lot of iron and calcium. Maybe it's also nice to know that it has a positive effect on your libido.
