SUPERFOOD HIGHLIGHTS
Blueberries
This popular berry has great health benefits – not only are the super low in calories they are packed with vitamin C and fibre. The concentrated amount of antioxidants in blueberries benefits brain function and plays a role in delaying mental decline.
Acai
Acai berries grow on acai palm trees in the Amazon rainforest. These berries are incredibly rich in antioxidants and contain 3x the amount found in blueberries.
Hemp Seeds
Hemp hearts are rich in protein and have all 9 essential amino acids. They also contain omega-3, omega-6, stearidonic acid (SDA), and the rare omega-6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). What’s so great about GLA? Well, GLA has been shown to help with cholesterol, inflammation, skin and hair health, balancing hormones, and general heart health.
Beets
Beets are rich in dietary nitrates, which your body converts to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps blood vessels dilate to promote proper blood flow and can improve exercise performance, lower blood pressure and aid in brain function.
