Nature’s super<br />

food – QUINOA<br />

TODAY we would like to tell<br />

you more about nature's<br />

super food – QUINOA.<br />

Not only can you make<br />

wonders with it in your kitchen,<br />

but you can benefit greatly<br />

from its health benefits!<br />

Just to name several<br />

important health benefits<br />

for you:<br />

1. Quinoa is one of the most<br />

protein-rich foods we can<br />

eat. It is a complete protein<br />

containing all nine<br />

essential amino acids.<br />

2. Quinoa contains almost<br />

twice as much fiber as<br />

most other grains. It<br />

also helps to prevent<br />

heart disease by reducing<br />

high blood pressure<br />

and diabetes.<br />

3. Quinoa contains Iron.<br />

Iron helps keep our red<br />

blood cells healthy and<br />

is the basis of hemoglobin<br />

formation.<br />

4. Quinoa contains lysine.<br />

Lysine is mainly essential<br />

for tissue growth<br />

and repair.<br />

5. Quinoa is rich in magnesium.<br />

Magnesium helps<br />

to relax blood vessels and<br />

thereby to alleviate migraines.<br />

Magnesium also<br />

may reduce Type 2 diabetes<br />

by promoting healthy<br />

blood sugar control.<br />

6. Quinoa is high in Riboflavin<br />

(B2). B2 improves energy<br />

metabolism within<br />

brain and muscle cells<br />

7. Quinoa has a high content<br />

of manganese. Manganese<br />

is an antioxidant,<br />

and helps to protect your<br />

body from free radicals<br />

linked to cancer, aging<br />

and many other diseases.<br />

In short, quinoa is THE<br />

FOOD OF CHOICE for everyone<br />

serious to take their<br />

health to the next level.<br />

ideas how you can<br />
