the superfoods to add into your diet for 2022

These are the superfoods to easily integrate into your diet for a better quality of life.

These superfoods will enrich your body for optimal function on a daily basis. 

Eating for longevity doesn’t mean you need to radically change your daily diet. By choosing strategically, you can weave a number of incredibly healthy ingredients into your diet, making the most of the benefits they have to offer without skipping out on the foods you really enjoy. 

These are some superfood ingredients worth including in your next grocery shop:

Turmeric

Turmeric is not only an incredible spice that’s packed with health benefits, it’s also beautiful. This yellow spice provides numerous positive outcomes for your health even when it’s consumed in small quantities.

Turmeric is most widely known for its ability to improve heart health, but it also offers significant benefits for your body and brain. Its main active ingredient, curcumin, is a natural anti-inflammatory compound.

This helps to fight off foreign invaders and plays a crucial role in repairing damage to our bodies. Chronic low-level inflammation is now believed by scientists to play a role in a number of health conditions, including heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

How can you introduce turmeric into your diet? Juiced Life makes it as easy as taking a sip with My Liver Detox, which provides a mega-dose of nutrients in one small package. 

Maca Powder

Maca Powder is grown in high-altitude areas of Peru, and the maca plant is widely known and used for its health benefits. Maca’s health enhancements vary, but it’s widely used as a natural remedy for issues such as infertility, low sex drives, relief from menopause symptoms, and for improvements in mood and energy levels. 

Studies have found that maca can be effective for women who were experiencing low libido as a result of taking antidepressants. By introducing maca into their diets, they experienced significant improvements in sexual function and libido.

Throw some maca powder into your daily intake through superfood-laden smoothies. These are also great for a protein hit before a workout, delivering key nutrients right alongside a mood-boosting maca powder punch.

Ginger

Ginger is a versatile food that is effortless to incorporate it into your regular meals. Ginger can be eaten straight, thrown into drinks, or served within a main dish for lunch or dinner. 

Available fresh, dried, pickled, powdered or in oils or juices, it brings with it a wide range of health benefits. It’s been used for centuries to help with digestion, reduce nausea, and increase resistance to flus and colds. Like its friend turmeric, ginger also has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, helping to fight inflammation and contribute to long-term health outcomes.

You can easily access ginger’s health benefits by enjoying Juiced Life’s daily immunity shot. With ginger, honey and cayenne pepper taking the spotlight as its key ingredients, this little bottle of juice can make a major difference in your ongoing health and wellbeing. 

Spinach

the health benefits of spinach

Whether you’re a spinach mega-fan or forming a new relationship with this green powerhouse, spinach can play a key role in health, energy and vitality.

Spinach leaves contain high levels of chlorophyll, alongside a number of other phytonutrients that are important for healthy eye-sight, digestion, skin and so much more. Spinach supports energy levels by improving the quality of our blood due to its high levels of iron. Iron plays a major role in supporting the health and function of red blood cells in the body, which transport oxygen around the body. 

As well as in leafy salads, consider adding spinach to smoothies or juices – it is easy to keep frozen at home in cubes in the freezer and throw into juices or smoothies. Full of iron and vitamin C, this juice can even help relieve cramping and encourage your stomach acid to keep moving thanks to high zinc levels.

Beetroot

Beetroot takes the prize for having the most vivid colour in this lineup. This purple vegetable is full of health benefits, and is often rated the number one superfood.

Beetroot has even been found to increase stamina, as it supports healthy hearts and lungs. Nitric oxide, found in beetroot, also increases blood flow to muscles, so it’s no surprise numerous athletes turn to regular beetroot juice to improve their performance.

Beetroots can also help lower blood pressure as they’re naturally high in nitrates. When nitrates turn into nitric oxide, this compound lowers blood pressure, causing blood vessels to widen. 

Juiced Life’s cold-pressed juice, My Heartbeat, is all about delivering beetroot in an easy-to-drink juice form.
