7 REASONS TO REBOOT WITH QUINOA.

  • Is one of the most protein-rich foods. It is a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids.
  • Contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains. Fiber helps to prevent heart disease by reducing high blood pressure and diabetes.
  • Contains Iron. Iron carries oxygen from one cell to another and supplies oxygen to our muscles to aid in their contraction. Iron also increases brain function because the brain takes in about 20% of our blood oxygen among many other benefits.
  • Contains lysine. Lysine is mainly essential for tissue growth and repair.
  • Rich in magnesium. Magnesium helps to relax blood vessels and thereby to alleviate migraines. Magnesium also may reduce Type 2 diabetes by promoting healthy blood sugar control.
  • High in Riboflavin (B2). B2 improves energy metabolism within brain and muscle cells.
  • High content of manganese. Manganese is an antioxidant, which helps to prevent damage of mitochondria during energy production as well as to protect red blood cells and other cells from injury by free radicals.
