Berries, Almonds, and Cinnamon- What are the benefits?
A few berries a day, particularly blueberries, can boost your health, mood, and overall fitness ability. They're proven to be heart-healthy, stress reducing, and give your figure that boost you've been looking for. How do they do this? Simply because of their color. The rich pigments in these fruits are high in antioxidants which help keep your mood up, keep your heart free of the bad types of cholesterol, and repair muscle tissue, fast, to get you ready for the next training day.
What about Almonds? They're packed with vitamins, protein and antioxidants that aid your body in muscle recovery, and are proven to help burn fat. Because they're packed with protein, they help you feel full longer, making for the perfect snack!
Don't forget about the Cinnamon. A pinch of cinnamon is tasty and adds that sweet kick to otherwise boring foods. But is taste the only thing cinnamon has going for it? It actually lowers and regulates blood sugar levels as well as boosts your metabolism.
So try this healthy snack: mix some blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries with some almonds and a pinch of cinnamon. Yum!
