Try These 6 neglected Super foods!

With the New Year Almost here..I’ll bet eating better is a popular resolution. If so you gotta look at these foods.
Some foods that are seriously good for us just get no respect in the American diet. Men’s Health magazine suggests you juice up your diet with a bigger bite of these:
Celery: It’s no mere garnish. Celery is loaded with bone-healthy silicon and cancer-fighting phenolic acids. It can lower blood pressure and reduce belly fat.
Seaweed: Most Americans only eat it if it’s wrapped around sushi, but seaweed is packed with calcium and potassium. Buy sheets of seaweed in a health store, use a coffee grinder to grind it to powder, and use it as a salt substitute.
Hemp Seeds: No, they won’t make you high, but they’re rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that can reduce risk of heart attack or stroke, and they have lots of protein. Add them to cereals or salads.
Scallops: These babies are 80 percent protein, and contain magnesium and potassium. They’re easy to prepare, too. Just season, sear in olive oil, and eat.
Dark Meat: Chicken or turkey legs have a little more fat than the white meat, but most is the “good” unsaturated kind. So, you feel fuller longer, eat less later, and get the heart-healthy benefits of higher levels of HDL, the “good” cholesterol.
Lentils: Lentils have a huge amount of belly-filling fiber, and more folate than spinach
