smart foods!

at sacred chow we are always working with smart foods, especially delicious, versatile quinoa, (see, Quinoa (keen wah) Updates! below). the wonderful benefits in this little grain, and other whole grains, beans, fruits and veggies, smart foods (aka superfoods), has so much nutritional value, that it could also help prevent so many health issues. eating more smart foods such as blueberries, spinach, kiwis, brussels sprouts, red cabbage, collards, kale, beets, celery root and broccoli is super smart and beneficial because they are filled with antioxidants that can help decrease your risk of certain cancers. the antioxidants help neutralize harmful by-products called "free radicals" that can lead to cancer. other smart foods such as pumpkins, ginger and sweet potatoes are superfoods too and used daily at sacred chow. pumpkins, carrots and sweet potatoes are actually great sources of alpha-carotene. this is a powerful member of the carotenoid family that helps prevent cataract formation, boosts immunity and gives our skin, hair and eyes a fabulous glow.
let's do it!
