Broccoli – Broccoli is full of free-radical fighting Vitamin C and is a good source of phytonutrient flavonols, particularly endurance-enhancing Quercetin.
Cauliflower – This versatile vegetable is not only low in calories but also packed with vitamins and minerals. Rich in the vitamin C, Cauliflower helps athletes with tissue growth and repair in all parts of the body. Cauliflower is also rich in inflammation-fighting antioxidants and digestion-aiding fibre.
Kale – For athletes, the iron in Kale will transport oxygen to various parts of the body. The Vitamin B6 in Kale will help maintain healthy nervous and immune systems. Kale is packed with digestion-aiding fibre, blood-boosting iron and nervous-system enhancing copper.
Quinoa – Essential nutrients for muscle recovery, one cup of quinoa delivers minerals, fiber, antioxidants, enzymes, all nine essential amino acids and nine grams of protein, making it one of the most complete foods in nature. Iron-rich quinoa helps the body produce energy and helps the blood deliver oxygen to muscles. Particularly critical for female and endurance athletes who are often iron-deficient.
Yam – Yams are made up of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber allowing for slow uptake to keep blood sugar levels steady. Yams have healthy skin promoting and bone strengthening vitamin A, which also works to heighten night vision.
Ginger – Ginger is among the healthiest and zestiest spices on the planet. A natural anti-inflammatory, it may reduce nausea, help with digestion, fight cancer and boost the immune system. For athletes, ginger can open up your airways, assist in weight-loss, improve circulation and strengthen your immune system.
