Blueberries
Blueberries are bursting with superfood-rich nutrients and anti-oxidants. Studies show that eating three servings of blueberries or other berries per week can also help reduce the build up of cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, protect against the build up of plaque on the arterial walls. The scrumptious super fruit can also help eliminate some of the causes of cancer, as well as reducing the risk of heart disease.
Beets
These purple superstars are packed with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, including plant alkaloid called betaine and B-vitamin folate. While beets are a tasty, crunchy and colorful addition to any salad, they can also lower the blood levels of homocysteine, which can lower the risk of heart disease. Studies also show beets hold other secret powers, like strengthening organs and fighting off diseases like cancer.
