It’s important to start thinking about eating in terms of what it does for your, the effects it has on your body, and the ways it can fuel your productivity throughout your day. So many of us only think of food in terms of pleasure, but once we’re able to start thinking a little differently, it can lead to more conscious awareness of what we’re putting in our body.

Below are a few foods you can start incorporating into your diet immediately (unless you’re allergic, of course).

1.) Kale

Kale is an amazing superfood packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help fuel your day and boost your overall health. Kale will even help reduce your risk of getting heart disease and help lower your blood pressure.

2.) Beets

Beats are intense in color but low in calories; they’re a fantastic source of nutrients like fiber and vitamin C. Beets also help lower your blood pressure.

3.) Garlic!

Garlic is rich in allicin, which has antivirus, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. In even small amounts garlic is very good at keeping your body healthy. Garlic is also rich in vitamins like B1, B6, manganese, calcium, copper, and more!

4.) Walnuts

Walnuts are rich in those good fats you want that fuel your cognition. Eat them any time of day for a boost!

5.) Turmeric

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, is a powerful antioxidant, and contains 300+ naturally-occurring components like beta-carotene, vitamin C, calcium, flavonoids, fiber, niacin, potassium, iron, zinc and more!
