]]> While setting a holistic workout program is crucial to your physical well-being, so too is selecting the right food to accompany it. While there is a wide variety of food that can supply you with the nutrients you need, here are some superfoods that will give you a significant energy boost before your workout.

Spinach

This green vegetable is great at not only boosting your strength but defending your body against harm. Filled with zinc and fiber, spinach helps to detoxify your body and balance your metabolism. Due to containing a high level of antioxidants, spinach will help to decrease muscle soreness and improve recovery after your workout. There are also plenty of recipes that include spinach, from pasta to curry.

Salmon

Protein is an essential part of any bodybuilder or gymgoer’s diet. There is perhaps no healthier source of protein than fish such as salmon. This fish possesses anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids that will reduce post-workout muscle soreness while the protein itself will help to build muscle during your workout.

Chickpeas

Containing both protein and carbohydrates, chickpeas prove beneficial both during and after your workout. They contain a high amount of iron that will help to improve your oxygen flow as well as endurance and overall performance.

]]> Food is like medicine—it’s necessary to maintain your physical body, your brain and your mood. Eating naturally good foods can work wonders for your energy levels, keeping you satisfied and satiated. Here are four superfoods to eat to boost your mood.

Red Bell Pepper

We bet you didn’t know that red bell peppers actually have more Vitamin C than an orange. They are the most nutritious of all bell peppers, they are low calorie and contain other vitamins and minerals to improve your mood.

Nut Butter

It doesn’t matter if you prefer cashew butter over peanut butter—all nut butters are energy-boosting and filled with protein and healthy fats. Adding nut butter to a smoothie, a piece of toast or just eating it straight from the jar can fill you up and stop you from indulging in less nutritious foods.

Salmon

Salmon is a well-known brain food. It has high numbers of omega-3 fatty acids and helps to maintain the central nervous system. It is also a great source of protein and may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Figs

Figs are a superfood that can actually help to aid your sleep and help your mood. They are filled with potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron which help with blood flow and muscle relaxation to help you fall asleep.

]]> Maca root, most often used in form of powder, is an increasingly popular superfood that comes from Peru. It can be used as a coffee substitute or as an ingredient that’s easily added to many different dishes, and its health benefits are amazing. Here’s what you should know about maca root.

It’s Rich in Nutrients

Maca root contains plenty of vitamins and minerals. It’s rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, copper, iron, potassium, manganese, and vitamin B6, among other things. It’s believed to help boost mood, memory, and stamina. Maca also contains glucosinolates and polyphenols, which are believed to have anti-cancer properties.

It Boosts Fertility

Many people use maca to increase their chances of having a baby. The plant is also known for its libido-increasing properties. It can be used by both men and women for these purposes, but it’s believed to be even more effective in men. However, this has not been scientifically proven and you should consult with your doctor first before using it for this goal.

It Gives You Energy

Maca powder is often used as a supplement that increases energy and performance. This is somewhat supported by studies, although we can’t say it’s been studied enough.

But did you know that some of the greatest superfoods of all time are probably already sitting in your kitchen cupboard? Let’s take a look.

Honey

Honey is considered a superfood because it contains antiviral and antibiotic properties. Especially when eaten raw, it can be incredibly beneficial to your immune system and metabolism.

Thankfully the early lockdown phenomenon of stock piling is a thing of the past. The supermarket shelves are fully stocked and even hand sanitizer is back in plentiful supply. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The one thing that you can't get hold off, however, is cough medicine. Many households now have bulging first aid kits ' just in case', while those not so quick off the mark are left hoping they won't need it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But, there’s good news! NICE, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, who oversee healthcare in the UK, now recommend active healing honeys (such as those sold here at Necta & Hive) as a first line treatment for coughs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You might be tempted to buy the better known Manuka honey, but Manuka honey is antibacterial – that is, it will be effective against bacteria, but not viruses. Jarrah and red Gum honeys are antimicrobial, meaning that they’re effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our honeys can be eaten straight from the spoon or swirled into a comforting herbal tea, but only add honey once the drink is at drinking temperature so you don’t destroy the delicate antimicrobial enzymes with heat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #honeyforlife #honeyeveryday #honeyforbreakfast #honeyforthesoul #redgumhoney #jarrahhoney #nectahive #microbiomehealth #foodasmedicine #ateaspoonaday #healthbenefits #healthbenefit #activehoney #redgumhoneycomb #beefriendly #theresmoretohoney #antioxidant #antioxidantsupport #antioxidantfood #honeyliscious #delicioushoney #honeyfortheheart #guthealth #superfoodideas #honey #honeyblogger #wellnessblogger

Black Pepper

Another kitchen staple with untold beneficial properties is black pepper. This spicy seasoning is jam-packed with antioxidants and is also said to be linked to increased and improved brain activity.

Coffee

You may be surprised to hear that your morning cup of joe is also considered a superfood! Studies show that drinking coffee can reduce your risk of developing diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Garlic

The protective properties of garlic have been known for centuries, giving rise to the myth that they can help ward off the evil magic of vampires. Even today, the pungent plant is known for its antibacterial properties, particularly allicin, a sulfur compound which helps the body rid itself of cholesterol and harmful fats.

]]> This green leafy plant with tiny rounded leaves is popular in Southeast Asia in multiple dishes. Moringa can be found in cuisine, powdered form for your smoothies, and even in pill form for daily use. It contains a tremendous amount of vitamins including protein, vitamin B6, vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium, and Vitamin A. Western countries are catching up to this miracle plant – and in Southeast Asia, it’s been used for many years already.

This plant is rich in antioxidants to support your immune system and it contains high levels of chlorogenic acid that can help regulate one’s blood sugar levels. If you’re looking to incorporate moringa into your diet, here are a few ways you can do it.

Make a Supercharged Green Drink

Moringa is great when placed in a green smoothie mix. Feel free to chuck in some matcha and spirulina while you’re at it to make a supercharged green drink to keep you active the entire day.

Prepare Moringa Soup

Moringa soup is a popular dish in Asian culture, especially in the Philippines. It’s usually made quite simply: boiling water, moringa leaves, and a bit of lemongrass for a sour taste. Moringa tastes delicious in soups and you can add a dash of coconut milk for a creamy taste. Top it off with a few red chilis and you’re good to go.

Moringa Spinach Omelette

One of the tastiest Asian cuisines out there is a moringa-spinach omelet. This healthy omelet is packed with b vitamins and chlorophyll – your body will move in an ecstatic dance when it tastes this. You can make a soy-chili dipping sauce or even eat it on its own. This is a great way to consume moringa in food rather than simply consuming it in a pill form. Bon appetit!

You’ve Met Your Matcha

What’s big, green and powerful? Yes… the Hulk too. For coffee lovers searching for an alternative to their regular espresso, matcha is equally as satisfying if not more. You don’t get the jitters and palpitations (unless you drink a lot of it) and it’s also packed with catechins (EGCG, EGC, ECG, and EC) that are incredibly potent and can help your body detox.

Spirulina’s Chlorophyll Packed

Spirulina is a strain of cyanobacteria, which is a family of single-celled microbes often regarded as blue-green algae. This protein and B vitamin-packed nutrient will keep your energy sustained throughout the day.

Moringa Goodness

The Moringa tree originated in India and is considered “the miracle tree” since its flowers and roots have been proven to treat over 250 conditions. It was a main staple in the ancient Aryuvedic medicine tradition. It’s also loaded with vitamin C, magnesium, and protein. Sprinkle some in your morning smoothie for an added kick to your day!

Munch on Some Edamame

Edamame, which translates to “beans on a branch” in Japanese is a great snack to munch on while watching Netflix. So you can feel healthy and chillax at the same time. Edamame is potent in healthy fiber, antioxidants and Vitamin K. Next time you binge-watch, boil some edamame and top them with lemon, salt, and chili powder.

The national fiber intake recommendation is 30-38 grams per day for a man and 21-25 grams a day for a woman. It’s easy to reach that number with chia seeds, as one serving contains over 10 grams of fiber. You can also get 4.4 grams of protein, and a heaping dose of manganese, phosphorus, and calcium.

Goji Berries

Goji berries contain several vitamins that boost your immune system, protecting you from the common flu. Put them in a yogurt, salad, or eat alone for a sweet but low-sugar snack.

Beans

There are 10 types of dry beans, all with their own health benefits. The Dark Red Kidney Bean is the lowest of the group in calories and fat, and packs 8 grams of protein. All the dry beans provide fiber, protein, and complex carbs to keep you full and healthy.

A panoply of beans! I never ever thought I’d be excited about beans but I’ve learned to mix the soft mealy texture (which I don’t like) with crunchy vegetables like peppers or cucumbers to balance the feeling in my mouth. But then I’ve also learned from my great course plus The Everyday Gourmet – Rediscovering the Lost art of Cooking with Prof. Bill Briwa that if the texture is grainy or chalky or coarse instead of velvety smooth then the bean is undercooked! That was a revelation! I also learned some terrific ways to flavor beans as well with garlic, onions, sage, bay leaves and/or rosemary. So I’m looking forward to exploring these varieties of beans. Some black beans, dark red kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, black eyed peas and then There’s some here I don’t recognize. Anyone know what those caramelized tan beans are???? Any recipe suggestions?? Ideas💡??

Spinach

Spinach is truly a superfood. It’s extremely low in calories (7 per serving) but contains vitamins A (28% daily value), K (228% daily value), and C (14% daily value). Make a fresh spinach salad with strawberries, put some in an omelet, or eat a healthy chicken dinner on a plate of these fresh greens.

Munch on Some Edamame

Edamame, which translates to “beans on a branch” in Japanese is a great snack to munch on while watching Netflix. So you can feel healthy and chillax at the same time. Edamame is potent in healthy fiber, antioxidants and Vitamin K. Next time you binge-watch, boil some edamame and top them with lemon, salt, and chili powder.

A panoply of beans! I never ever thought I’d be excited about beans but I’ve learned to mix the soft mealy texture (which I don’t like) with crunchy vegetables like peppers or cucumbers to balance the feeling in my mouth. But then I’ve also learned from my great course plus The Everyday Gourmet – Rediscovering the Lost art of Cooking with Prof. Bill Briwa that if the texture is grainy or chalky or coarse instead of velvety smooth then the bean is undercooked! That was a revelation! I also learned some terrific ways to flavor beans as well with garlic, onions, sage, bay leaves and/or rosemary. So I’m looking forward to exploring these varieties of beans. Some black beans, dark red kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, black eyed peas and then There’s some here I don’t recognize. Anyone know what those caramelized tan beans are???? Any recipe suggestions?? Ideas💡??

Spinach

Spinach is truly a superfood. It’s extremely low in calories (7 per serving) but contains vitamins A (28% daily value), K (228% daily value), and C (14% daily value). Make a fresh spinach salad with strawberries, put some in an omelet, or eat a healthy chicken dinner on a plate of these fresh greens.
