…an easy way to upgrade your diet instantly because super foods are nutrient dense and beneficial on so many levels. Here’s more info’ on three super foods that will put a spring in your step…

:: Load up on goji berries, aka the most nutritionally rich berry-fruit on the planet. They have a therapeutic effect on the body because they support the adrenal glands, liver and kidneys resulting in enhanced stamina.

:: Mix in some maca which is known to balance and stabalise the body’s glandular-hormonal and nervous systems which makes it a powerful strength and stamina enhancer. It has a malty/ butterscotch flavour and is great mixed into yoghurt and smoothies!

:: Include some cocao, the number one source of antioxidants and magnesium on the planet. It also contains chromium which balances blood sugar levels and iron, an important mineral relative to energy levels. Also feel good chemicals like phenylethylamine which our bodies produce when we fall in love, anandamide which we produce after exercise and tryptophan, a powerful mood enhancer.
