When you think of superfoods, you might think of some of the most popular highly nutritious foods out there and have some idea of how they can improve your long-term quality of life, helping you live happier and longer.
However, there are many superfoods that can have a big impact on your quality of life. They might even be able to help you address some pain points in your life, with the following tips.
Coming up learn about which superfoods are most known to have a noticeable impact on your energy, senses and quality of life and how to weave them into your diet.
Dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale are well-known for their benefits when it comes to the health of your eyesight. If you’re in need of glasses, these ingredients, loaded with beta-carotene and lutein, might not be able to restore your vision, but they can play an important role in maintaining healthy vision. These foods, just like carrots, can support the retina’s function, reducing night blindness. Lutein, in particular, can even reduce the wear and tear of the eye, lowering your risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Your senses are supported by a host of vitamins and minerals, and this goes for your hearing as well as your sight. You can learn more about how nutrition supports hearing health, such as incorporating salmon into your diet. This fish, aside from being a source of protein, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which (amongst other things) improves the flow of blood around the body, including to the inner ear (or cochlear). The loss of blood flow to this part of the ear is often associated with age-related hearing loss, as it loses the ability to convert sound waves into nerve signals. Walnuts and chia seeds can be great for your hearing health for the same reason.
The bodily aches that can come with time, age, and overuse through exercise or injury, are often caused by inflammation. Swelling around the joints and back causes stiffness and pain, but there is a wide range of anti-inflammatory foods that can help directly combat this. Turmeric is rich in curcumin, which is an anti-inflammatory so reliable that it’s even often prescribed to help treat arthritis. Ginger is popular amongst fitness fanatics as not only can it tackle inflammation, but it can reduce muscle soreness, as well.
Berries are a very popular superfood, loved for their sweetness and versatility. Blueberries, in particular, are often nicknamed “brain berries” thanks to their high antioxidant content, which can help delay brain aging and improve memory. The flavinoids in dark chocolate have bene shown to support blood flow to the brain, as well. Alongside omega-3 fatty acids, these can help reduce the odds of developing cognitive diseases such as dementia.
Eating a carrot isn’t going to immediately give you night vision. However, starting to incorporate the right foods more often in your diet can result in some marked improvements over time. Any time you’re dealing with a health issue, be sure to do a little research on which foods can help you in the fight against it.
