Pumpkins-the Secret Superfood
Most people are surprised to find that you
can actually eat pumpkin when it's not
autumn. But pumpkin is actually one of
the best-kept secrets on the planet when
it comes to superfoods for energy. First of
all, it's loaded with potassium, which makes
both your heart and your muscles work
better, not to mention that it lowers blood
pressure and reduces risk of stroke. Second,
it's loaded with vitamin A, which helps your
immune system fight off energy-draining
viruses and other microbes. Third, it has
fiber: 21/ 2 grams of it in one cup. Fourth, it's
a low-glycemic food, which means it raises
your blood sugar slowly, giving you sustained
energy for very few calories. Bonus: It's one
of the only canned vegetables that's actually
good for you! Heat it up and season with
butter, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and
watch your energy skyrocket.
