Healing Foods
Making some positive changes for 2012? Check out these healthy foods that are delicious AND nutritious and will satisfy some of those urges you’ll encounter when you start taking out some of that “junk” food. Kombucha is a naturally fermented beverage full of probiotics, digestive enzymes, B vitamins, anti-oxidants and cancer fighting glucuronic acid. New to the store are chia kombuchas. Chia seeds are a true superfood with more omega 3′s than salmon, more antioxidants than blueberries, and more fiber than oatmeal. Chia seeds also help to keep you feeling “full” longer, reducing snack cravings and have been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels. Put the two together and you have the perfect powerhouse “snack” beverage. It’s refershing like a beverage, but fills you up like a snack, with only 70 calories and all the health benefits, you really can’t go wrong! It just may be the perfect food to help you stick to your 2012 resolutions for eating a little healthier this year.
