I Dare You to Find a Better Super Breakfast than This!

I have been researching natural ways to lower blood pressure and lower blood sugar levels.

In addition, you can lose weight by eating healthy. I do feel that counting calories does the trick to losing weight. You are more aware of what you are eating plus if you know you have to write it down, you are less likely to eat high calorie foods.  I use the Lose It app on my iPhone.

I usually add all of  these great super food products to my oatmeal as they mix well together. You could also add them to yogurt or blend them in a smoothie.

I got my nutritional info from googling benefits of each item. If you are interested in learning more there are tons of sites to look at. I don't have every benefit or ingredient in these items, just the basics.
