What we eat goes hand in hand with how we feel. This is not a groundbreaking revelation. Quinoa is a superhero in the grain family. It is full of beneficial nutrients like magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, fiber, and folate. It also contains all nine essential amino acids, offers high levels of antioxidants, and is gluten-free.
Coupled with all the essential nutrients, quinoa’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a great choice for combating the effects of stress, guarding against disease, and balancing the body naturally. The high fiber and nutrition levels will also help you feel full longer, aiding in increased focus and cognitive function.
