I am all about loading up on antioxidants to keep my immune system healthy these days! I am not talking about popping a fizzy vitamin c pack when I am feeling under the weather; I am talking about taking preventative measures every day by packing natural organic nutrients into my body. Even stress can weaken our immune system making us more vulnerable to getting sick. I found that adding superfoods to my diet is a great way to keep my immune system strong and healthy.
I recently discovered maca, a root vegetable native to Peru, which happens to be a superfood. Yes, I get excited when I discover a new superfood to add to my diet, especially one that can help my body adapt to stress! This veggie has a ton of health benefits (some listed below) so I have incorporated the Navitas Maca Powder into my daily açaí bowl and it is delicious!
Health Benefits of Maca:
- Adaptogen – helps body naturally adapt to stressors
- Packed with antioxidants
- Enhances mood + memory
- Boosts energy levels
- Contains 20+ amino acids
This Berry Antioxidant Bowl contains three superfoods: açai, maca and cacao powder! Talk about a triple threat. Give this yummy healthy treat a try!
