Buckwheat
This is a non-wheat that even followers of the latest fad diets can love. Why? Well for one it’s not actually a wheat, but a gluten free, low glycemic fruit seed classified as a “pseudo-grain”. What are the other properties? Oh let me count the ways…
-Contains chiroinositol which helps with glucose metabolism and cell signaling.
-Better than oatmeal or wheat cereals when it comes to heart health and reducing “bad” cholesterol.
-Grows quickly in the wild so very little pesticides are used.
-Tastes great as hot cereal and keeps you satiated throughout the day.
Liver
Your mother told you to eat it, and you should’ve listened. Liver is one of the most potent sources of vitamin B-6 and B-12, which happen to play a role in carb metabolism, fat utilization, and high iron levels. All factors that have direct correlation with energy levels and post workout recovery.
Besides that, liver is rich in vitamins A.D, E, and K which play a role in maintaining a strong immune system and regulating hormone levels.
