SUPER FOODS FOR SUPERWOMAN

Scientifically speaking, women’s bodies are more likely to get exhausted faster than men. In general, we are built with smaller bone structure and lesser muscular strength (unless you train and tone your muscles).

There are countless ways though to become a stronger and leaner version of yourself, without having to sacrifice your femininity.

Here are some Super-foods, that are packed with extra nutrients, which can ensure that a woman gets that extra boost of energy and nutrition.

• Tomatoes: 

Very low in calories and choc-a-bloc with vitamins A, C, and antioxidants. Eat cooked or raw.

• Fish: 

A powerhouse of Omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids, protein, calcium, Vitamin D and B. Grill, baked or sautéed. Tofu is a good alternative for vegetarians.

• Yogurt: 

Studies show that people who ate two servings of low-fat yogurt every day lost more weight than people who didn’t. An easily absorbed source of calcium, it’s also a powerhouse of gut-friendly Lactobacillus that keeps tummy upsets at bay.

• Eggs: 

An excellent, inexpensive source of complete protein, vitamin A, natural vitamin D, and choline. Considered a complete food, eggs offer a great source of high-quality protein with all nine essential amino acids. What’s more egg white is very low in calories.

• Green Tea: 

A metabolism booster that’s also rich in antioxidants. Drink two to three cups to detox. Try herbal teas like jasmine and hibiscus if you don’t like the taste of plain green tea.

• Broccoli: 

Full of fiber, folate and vitamins A and C. Very low in calories and delicious in stir-fries or raw with a yogurt dip.

• Apples: 

An apple a day keeps the weight away! The fruit is rich in pectin and fiber so you feel full longer. Pears have even more fiber. Eat raw or bake with a dash of cinnamon for a guilt-free, delicious dessert.

• Oats: 

The best fiber-packed breakfast food to keep you full for hours. What’s more, oats have been shown to decrease cholesterol.

• Spinach: 

Popeye was right! The lowly palak is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, K, B and C. Toss with a vinaigrette dressing or have your fill of the all-time favorite palak paneer. 

• Walnuts: 

A great source of protein, healthy fat and fiber. Sprinkle over a bowl of oats or porridge or eat a small handful for an energy-packed snack. Almonds and pistachios are equally healthy and tasty.
