Try Adding These Superfoods To Your Thanksgiving Dinner This Year
ScienceDaily (Nov. 22, 2007) — Tired of spinach, bored with broccoli? Experts say there’s a new generation of superfoods that promise to do double or triple-duty when it comes to preventing illness.
At the top of the list—kiwi. “In a recent study, kiwi was found to be one of the most nutritionally dense fruits out of 27 fruits,” says Stephanie Dean, R.D., dietitian with Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
Kiwis are full of antioxidants, vitamin E and lutein. They ward off vision problems, blood clots, and even lower cholesterol—almost as effectively as the second new superfood on the list—barley.
“The USDA found that barley specifically could lower your LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol by 17.4 percent which is a phenomenal percentage,” adds Dean.
