3. Goji Berries
These little red berries are a complete source of protein and amino acids. The antioxidants in gojis help protect your body from free radicals and slow the aging process.

4. Flaxseeds (and Oil)
Omega-3 fatty acids are the good fat your body needs and flaxseeds are one of the best sources of Omega-3s. In fact, flax seeds and oil are one of the few foods to contain both Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs).
EFAs help to prevent inflammation shown to cause high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions.
EFAs are also “essential” for energy production and better brain function.

5. Chia Seeds
Similar to flaxseeds, chia seeds are super rich in Omega- 3 an 6 EFAs. Chia seeds are a complete protein and high in vitamin C, iron, phosphorus, potassium and fiber (there’s a whopping five grams of fiber in one small tablespoon!).
You can easily add dry chia seeds to your smoothies, but you can get maximum benefit by soaking the seeds first.
The seeds absorb the liquid (try coconut water) and turn into gelatin that can remove toxins from your digestive system.
