6 Secret Super Foods
They’re not faster than a speeding bullet, or able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but these Super Foods pack a healthy punch. In fact, their nutritional values are so high, experts say they can protect you against illness, lower your cholesterol, and improve your overall look and wellness. Often hidden in the shadow of more popular antioxidants (blueberries anyone?) these six stellar stars deserve their own hero’s welcome.
Soy
The joy of soy is you can get it in multiple forms --- from the soybean (aka edamame), to soy milk and the tofu often offered in stir fries and curries. With its high amounts of protein, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, it’s no wonder it can lower cholesterol, promote healthy bones, prevent cancer, and reduce symptoms of menopause.
