Superfoods To Power You Through Your Day

Today we’re going to talk about some of the most powerful foods that you can consume for the most nutritious benefit. And I don’t just mean that I’ll be saying that you should be eating more produce and eating less sugar. No. Today, we’re going to talk about what are classified as “Superfoods.” You’ll probably recognize most of these, and I think you’ll be impressed at many of the benefits you’ll find. I would be amazed if after reading this post, you didn’t start trying to take more of these superfoods into your diet more regularly. I know I do! 

      List of Superfoods: 

      Maca increases sex drive, boosts your energy, helps with erectile disfunction for men, helps with menopausal anxiety, and helps with hot flashes. 

     Ginger is good for nausea, motion sickness, and morning sickness. It is used for digestive problems, heart disease and stroke, helps with ulcers, diabetes, arthritis, menstrual cramps, colds and flu, and osteoarthritis.
