Quinoa<\/div>\n
The General Assembly of the United Nations declared that 2013 was the International Year of Quinoa<\/strong>. After such a commendation, in 2014, the rise of this food was not halted, instead it is becoming an evermore-present dish on the tables of millions of people.
\nA SUPERFOOD<\/strong> from crops originating in the Andes, now has every intention of affirming itself globally in 2015. Quinoa, a non-cereal grain<\/strong> that is small and firm, is in fact easy to prepare, naturally gluten-free<\/strong>, high in protein and very tasty, as well as being low in salt.
\nAdditionally, it’s easily and rapidly cooked when compared with many other grains, making it, in effect, a valuable resource for anyone who wants a healthy and balanced diet<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

GOJI BERRIES<\/div>\n
A national treasure. Red diamonds.Miraculous berries. Elixir of eternal youth.<\/strong> There are numerous nicknames for this SUPERFOOD<\/strong> in its homeland because of its incredible anti-aging properties<\/strong>.
\nSo it is no coincidence that Chinese medicine has been using Goji berries for thousands of years for healthy purposes, to stabilize \u2013 among other things \u2013 blood pressure. Here in Europe, however, the berries are still a novelty, a recent beauty discovery related to their very high content of antioxidants<\/strong>.
\nBut hurry up in finding them, because soon they’ll be snapped up! Goji berries are bought dehydrated, are flame-red in color<\/strong>, and contain beta-carotene.
\nThey are perfect to protect your skin from sun exposure and regenerate cellular tissue.
\nIn addition, they are delicious to the palate<\/strong> when used in cookies and cakes, in the same way that raisins are.\n<\/div>\n

Alkekengi<\/div>\n
A perennial plant of the Solanaceae family (the same as tomatoes and potatoes), the Physalis Alkekengi<\/strong> plant produces edible berries that are shaped like small cherries but, as they say, it’s best to never judge a thing by its greatness!
\nThese berries, in fact, contain an incredible amount of vitamin C, tannin, sugar, and citric<\/strong> acid and are highly recommended for their diuretic action, as well as for their prevention of stones in the kidney and bladder.
\nUric acid and urea<\/strong>, in fact, are among the most toxic substances that our intestine produces and must be continuously eliminated.
\nPhysalis Alkekengi facilitates the elimination of these metabolic residues and, as mentioned, is doubly effective<\/strong> as it also increases the solubility of mineral salts, thereby hindering the formation of urinary stones.
\nAnd that’s not all, because our body is highly capable of funneling the plant’s active ingredients, which perform well in their antiseptic effects<\/strong> in fighting urinary tract infections.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hemp seeds<\/div>\n
\nThey have nothing to do with cannabis, since we are talking about the seeds used in making hemp textiles<\/strong>, but their action on the body is still… amazing!
\nThree tablespoons of hemp seeds contain, in fact, 10 grams of protein, which is the right amount to add to a vegetarian salad, a cup of yogurt, or to cookies. Hemp seeds have a nutty flavor<\/strong> and can be lightly toasted before use. Toasting, in any case, doesn’t jeopardize their great supply of Omega-3, fatty acids, and iron<\/strong>.
\nTheir content supply in terms of quantity is totally unique in nature<\/strong> and is worth highlighting! All of this, without forgetting that hemp seeds are also rich in magnesium, a very important substance in aiding digestion, preventing muscle cramps, and controlling stress levels.\n<\/div>\n

Cabbage<\/div>\n
\nOkay, we admit it, it surely doesn’t have an outstanding perfume, and because of this, it has long been relegated to being an off-limits food, or at most an ingredient that is solely still good in the traditional culinary customs of our grandmothers.
\nHowever, in recent years, cabbage<\/strong> has made a big comeback and is the all the rage, thanks to Americans who have \u201crediscovered\u201d it as an essential element in a healthy and balanced diet<\/strong>.
\nAn anti-inflammatory that is rich in iron (more than meat), calcium (more than milk, with the same energy content), fiber, and antioxidants, cabbage is one of the most nutritious vegetables in the world for its beneficial properties<\/strong>. It protects the arteries and the heart, strengthens the immune system, detoxifies the body, and also lowers blood pressure. Can we do without it? Like hell!\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SEAWEEDS<\/div>\n
\nIf you are a lover of Asian cuisine, you will probably have tasted many times, without ever thinking about its benefits, beyond its excellent flavor. Nori seaweed<\/strong> is that what’s used by Japanese restaurants to make sushi rolls, but you can eat it in other recipes, either shredded in rice salads or on fish.
\nIt has a high concentration of iodine, something that’s hard to find in other foods, and it helps the thyroid to function.
\nThey are very low in calories<\/strong>, so they are perfect for those who want to go on a diet, and, thanks to their provitamin A content, they have a mineralizing effect<\/strong>, providing the body with adequate amounts of minerals for our well being. Seaweed is also indicated for the health of our hair, for reducing cholesterol, and for their actions against excess fats in the blood.\n<\/div>\n

Linseed<\/div>\n
\nRich in alpha-linolenic acid<\/strong>, an Omega-3 because of its anti-inflammatory properties, linseed<\/strong> are an excellent source of fiber, potassium, and calcium. Furthermore, the high content of minerals<\/strong> \u2013 such as phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and copper \u2013 in lineseed, in addition to a good 20% protein, make linen seeds veritable batteries for regenerating the body.
\nNot to mention that linseed are also very useful in fighting internal inflammation, such as in cases of cystitis, and for the exterior, as in skin. One should take care to crush them before eating, or leave them to steep in water overnight, as you may otherwise compromise their beneficial properties, among which it is worth remembering, last but not least, their great ability to be a natural emollient that prevents intestinal constipation<\/strong> and refreshes intestinal flora.\n<\/div>\n

Blueberries<\/div>\n
Blueberries<\/strong> are the fruit of the Vaccinium genus, a genus of plants belonging to the Ericaceae family. These edible berries have a more or less sour taste, depending on their degree of ripeness. They contain good amounts of organic acids, sugars, tannins, anthocyanins, and vitamins<\/strong>. Long been known to be useful in eye health, blueberries are among the remedies used for the prevention and treatment of glaucoma, as they aid the production and the maintenance of ocular collagen. They are also rich in flavonoids, substances that can slow aging, preventing damage caused by free radicals<\/strong>, and they are also used by those suffering from varicose veins and from other circulatory problems.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bee pollen<\/div>\n
\nAs it’s a food designed for the nutrition of the \u201cbees of tomorrow,\u201d and for the synthesis of royal jelly by nurse bees, it may not be surprising that the pollen of bees<\/strong> is an extremely nutritious food<\/strong>, containing no less than 22 amino acids and numerous antioxidants. Eaten together with granola in yogurt, for example, bee pollen ensures an immense energy boost<\/strong> from its proteins and B12 vitamins. But bee pollen’s qualities, clearly enough, are not just these. First off, in fact, its very pleasant flavor<\/strong> is worth mentioning, it’s almost reminiscent of regular honey. After this, it’s difficult to make a satisfactory list of all its beneficial qualities<\/strong> for the body, including anti-inflammatory, anti-depressive, and detoxifying ones that make it a perfect ally of the immune system, and a highly recommended product for pregnant women, athletes, individuals with high cholesterol, and for people suffering from insomnia.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MATCHA TEA<\/div>\n
\nThe precious matcha tea<\/strong>, also known as Japanese green tea, has more antioxidant properties<\/strong> than any other type of tea. Its leaves, in fact, contain 137 times the amount of antioxidants found in regular green tea, as well as polyphenols and amino acids, which are able to reduce physical and psychological stress, acting on the both the body and on the nervous system. Matcha tea comes to us as a fine and scented powder that is very green in color, and is rich in vitamins B1, B2, C, beta-carotene, and minerals<\/strong>.
\nIn the past, Buddhist monks<\/strong> drank it during their meditations to keep themselves focused. Today, its anti-cancer, antioxidants, and anti-fatigue properties have also been shown. It is a super drink in every sense!\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
