How to have Super Foods Everyday – My Cheat List

My super foods cheat list as I try to live Healthy.

I have been into healthy eating for a while now, and have created a routine/health plan that I try to follow religiously. This plan has become second nature to me and not much of a struggle to follow it. I consume both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

Below is my basic Super Foods List that I follow with Amla (Phyllanthus emblica) being my favorite. Amla is an Indian Gooseberry and quite common in India. In fact, I used to eat this while growing up in India with a pinch of salt not realizing how super healthy these berries were. It is quite interesting that I found the benefits of some aspects of Ayurveda in health-conscious New York and have adopted many practices as part of my daily life.

At a high-level I try to consume a majority of the listed food items below. Also, I try to consume as much Whole Foods as possible and limit supplements. BroccoMax (which contains sulforaphane) and Astaxanthin (an anti-oxidant) are one of the few supplements I take. I will try to go in detail as to why I have decided to consume each of these in upcoming posts, but want to state that I have taken them after extensively doing my own research and reviewing their efficacy in clinical studies. Quite frankly a lot of articles have already been detailed out on their benefits and don’t really require me to to bear repeat the same benefits.

So, here is my list of Super Foods that I consume on a Daily basis. That’s right, on a Daily basis.
