Healthy Eating - Upgrade Your Meals in Minutes! Part 1
Healthy eating is both easy and delicious and sharing the joys of living well with as many people as possible is a central theme in my mission.
Read on to discover this for yourself as I share 10 simple ways to boost the nutrition of your favorites with great- tasting extras.
- Add 1-2 TBS of toasted wheat germ to your morning cereal, yogurt or smoothies. Wheat germ has a slightly sweet, yet nutty flavor and is loaded with nutrition including minerals, vitamin E, fiber, protein, omega 3 fats and almost 1/3 of an adult’s daily requirement for folate. It’s generally found in the cereal aisle and is available at all grocery outlets.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on your morning cereal, yogurt, bagels or toast. This tasty spice provides remarkable health benefits through its ability to enhance the action of the hormone, insulin. This boost in insulin activity translates to improved glucose and cholesterol metabolism, resulting in protection from type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Add brocco sprouts to your salads and sandwiches. Developed by cancer researchers from John Hopkins, these sprouts are filled with good nutrition, including fiber and vitamin C, but are most special because of their anti-cancer prowess. Regular broccoli is a bonafide anti-cancer superstar and these tasty spouts contain 20-100 times more of the natural cancer-prevention agent, sulphoraphane than mature broccoli.

- Add sun-dried tomatoes to your pizza, pasta and sandwiches. Low in calories, but high in flavor, they provide all of the spectacular goodness in tomatoes (fiber, B vitamins, potassium, vitamin C, lycopene) in a super-concentrated form. Lycopene is now world famous for prostate cancer protection making this an especially healthy addition for adult males.
