Jacquelyn D. Kirkland developed a love for cooking at a young age, as she used to actively participate in preparing the family meals. Some of Jacquelyn D. Kirkland’s earliest memories include making family shopping trips to the farmer’s market to buy in-season produce.
Cultivating a healthy lifestyle starts with knowing which types of foods are most dense in nutrients. For instance, kale not only contains more iron than red meat, but also is full of phytonutrients. Also, cacao, which is found in dark chocolate, is an extremely effective antioxidant and is rich in the vital nutrient magnesium. While most people know that omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients for the body, not everyone knows which foods are richest in these healthy oils. Chia seeds, which are very high in protein, have a higher omega-3 content than flax seeds. In addition, hemp seeds contain the ideal ratio of omega-3, 6, and 9 for optimal heart, eye, and brain health. Add chia or hemp seeds to trail mix or granola, or use their oils in salad dressings to boost your omega fatty acid intake. Comments are closed.
