Have a Healthy Thanksgiving By Adding These Foods

The ReadyWriter

With Thanksgiving being celebrated around the world tomorrow, families everywhere will sit down and feast on a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (with their favorites) of turkey and all the trimmings.

Registered dietician Ellie Krieger has seven superfoods that can help you see better, increase your energy and make your skin look more youthful.

Krieger recently appeared on ‘Inside Edition‘ with Deborah Norville where she explained the benefits of eating healthy by including these 7 superfoods in your holiday meals.

Superfood #1: Kale

“Kale is great for your eyes because it has lutein that can help your eyes and prevent damage from aging.” Sauté it or throw it in a salad.

Superfood #2: Dried cherries

“Especially tart cherries. Interestingly, they contain melatonin which has been shown to help regulate sleep patterns.” They’re great as a snack or toss them in a salad, pancakes or muffins.

Superfood #3: Salmon which is loaded with omega-3 fats. (One of my favorites)

“Omega-3 fats reduces the inflammation in the body. So inflammation is thought to be at the root of many diseases, including heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, even cancers. Fresh salmon costs about $20 per pound. You can get a can of salmon which will run you about $4 per pound and it has all the omega fats.”

Superfood #4: Mangoes

“Mangoes are  great for your immune system. They have about 80% of your Vitamin C requirement in just one cup.”

Superfood #5: Pinto beans

“Pinto beans are one of the highest antioxidant contents of any beans, and you know what? They cost .13 cents a cup.”

Superfood #6: Sweet potatoes

“Sweet potatoes, great for your skin. The orange in them, the thing that makes them orange is beta-carotene, which is a form of Vitamin A, and this powerful antioxidant vitamin targets the skin. So it specifically can help prevent damage from the sun, which causes wrinkling and so on.”

Superfood #7: Almonds

“They have  protein, healthy fat, and fiber. Those things combined can help keep your energy up all afternoon,” said Krieger.

None of these are expensive or hard to prepare.

  6. Why does that Turkey looked burnt, undercooked and dry at the same time? Someone should have fed it some Kale & Sweet Potatoes.

      I thought all turkeys looked burnt, undercooked and dry. They sure taste that way, which is why I don’t eat turkey.
