FOR THOSE LOW ENERGY DAYS


Superfoods are known for their health-enhancing properties. These nutrient-dense powerhouse foods have numerous health benefits, from anti-ageing to maintaining a healthy weight and fighting disease — all good reasons to eat them daily.







7am Breakfast booster: Oats


High in soluble and insoluble fibre and low-GI, wholegrain natural oats are digested slowly, making them the perfect sustained-energy food. They're also packed with B vitamins, which support the nervous system and have a calming and grounding effect, so they are a great way to start your day.


11am Mental maximiser: Blueberries


British scientists found people who drank a blueberry smoothie in the morning had heightened concentration up to five hours later. The effect is due to the flavonoids in blueberries, which increase blood flow to the brain.


1pm Energy top-up: Kidney beans



Added to your salad, soup or wrap, kidney beans are a smart way to re-fuel. They're a good source of protein and fibre, which stabilise blood sugars for lasting energy, and are low in sugar and saturated fat.

3pm Craving cruncher: Walnuts


Walnuts are a good source of protein, mono-unsaturated fat, omega-3s and omega-6s and vitamin B6, which nourish the brain and reduce sugar cravings, so you're better able to resist the biscuit jar.

7pm Post-gym pick-me-up: Salmon


A fitness superfood, salmon is packed with protein for building and maintaining muscle, improving muscle function and assisting recovery. It's also one of the richest food sources of omega-3s, which relieve post-workout joint stiffness.


9pm All-natural nightcap: Cherries



To sleep more soundly, snack on some cherries after dinner. Recent studies show cherries are one of the most concentrated food sources of melatonin, the hormone that regulates our sleep patterns.

RECIPE

Kidney Bean Burgers


Ingredients

2-1/2 cups cooked kidney beans
1/2 cup oats
2 Tablespoons  tamari or soy saucesoy sauce
garlic powder or fresh minced garlic, optional
onion powder, 
optional olive oil

Directions:
Mash kidney beans. Add oats, soy sauce, and seasonings.

Grapes contain flavonoids that are very powerful antioxidants, which can reduce the damage caused by free radicals and skin ageing.

Asthma: Due to its eminent therapeutic value, grapes can be used for cure of asthma. In addition to it, the assimilatory power of grapes is also higher. It increases the moisture present in lungs.

Migraine: Ripe grape juice is an important home remedy for curing migraine. It should be taken early in the morning, without mixing additional water.

Indigestion: Grapes play an important role in dyspepsia. They relieve heat and cure indigestion and irritation of the stomach. They are also preferred as they constitute a light food.

Fatigue: Light and white grape juice replenishes the iron content present in the body and prevents fatigue. Though, the dark grape juice might not give an iron boost and on the other hand, decrease the iron levels. Drinking grape juice also provides you with instant energy. The anti-oxidants present in grapes also provide the needed boost to your immune system.

There in season so by them fresh!
