If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few years, you’ve probably heard the term “super food” or “super fruits” thrown around every now and then. So, what exactly is that, you ask? Well let me tell you my friend.
These “super” foods and fruits are basically foods that have a extra dosage of vitamins and nutrients that are said to help power weight loss and healthy living if you add them to your diet. They are the perfect addition to your diet. Make sure you take a look into adding each of these super fruits into your daily life.
1. Apples
America’s favorite fruit – apples. “An apple a day keeps a doctor away” is a motto that turns out to be pretty true! At least in the weight loss and heart disease departments.
Because of the heavy amount of fiber in the skin of apples, they will help keep you fuller longer and boost that metabolism. Like the next fruit on the list, this is going to make sure that you don’t grab any extra snacks than needed from the vending machine at work.
2. Bananas
Another classic fruit that needs to be in your daily diet is a banana. Bananas are perfect for both your blood pressure and boosting your metabolism as they are full of potassium, which has been shown to help in lowering blood pressure. Ask anyone working at a medical detox centre and they will ensure you about how essential bananas are for a healthy body.
Plus, there is a ton of fiber in bananas, which will keep you fuller longer and make sure you don’t reach for that chocolate bar on your desk.
3. Goji Berries
Never heard of a goji berry? Don’t worry, not many people have added them to their diets. However, if your goal is weight loss, then you’ve got to try to find these fruits near you. Two of the best effects of the goji berry are that they control your appetite and help keep your blood sugar levels in check.
This means that you won’t be as hungry if you sprinkle some goji berries on your salad at lunch.
4. Grapefruits
These sour red treats are a perfect add to your weight loss diet. Because of the tons of antioxidants that are packed into grapefruits, they aid in the lowering of your cholesterol levels and keeping heart disease at bay. Make sure you watch out for the reddest varieties of the grapefruits because these are going to have the best stuff in them!
5. Pears
You may not be a huge fan of pears or may not eat them a lot of the time, but that should definitely change. Pear are absolutely packed with fiber that’s going to help you digest the nutrients from all the other items on this list and keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time.
6. Blueberries
If you’re looking to supercharge your metabolism and even improve your brain’s functioning, then you had better add some blueberries to your diet. Blueberries are chocked full of manganese, which can charge your metabolism and speed up your journey to lose weight.
Plus, many studies have shown that blueberries can aid in improving your memory and general cognitive functioning. This is especially important as you age and your brain’s functioning generally starts to slow.
7. Pomegranate Seeds
These little and delicious seeds are the perfect snack for your afternoon because they have tons of fiber and flavor that will pull you through that afternoon slug at work. They can be sprinkled on a salad or eaten on their own!
8. Oranges
Fiber and Vitamin C are the names of the game when it comes to oranges. Be sure to add some orange slices to your cereal in the morning or salad at lunch time if you want a boost of these two things in your diet.
9. Cantaloupe
Not only are cantaloupes great for your weight loss goals (mostly because they’re delicious!), they’re going to be great for your skin too. You probably don’t just want to stop at weight loss, so why not aim for fantastic skin too?
Cantaloupe does this because it’s chocked full of Vitamin A, which boosts cell production in your skin and the rest of your body.
10. Cherries
Cherries are probably one super fruit that you didn’t necessarily expect to see on this list. They’re pretty secret in the super fruit world, but are packed full of anthocyanin, which has been shown to reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels. This is great in anyone’s search for overall health and weight loss. Plus, they’re delicious!
And there you have it. These super fruits are going to supercharge your diet and help you achieve your weight loss goals.
