Spirulina, is an algae that has high vegetable protein content, is high in B-12 vitamins and (GLA).

GLA and Vitamin B-12 are connected to mood, memory and general energy vitality. Many people believe that low B-12 levels for long periods of time is actually the cause of "old age" symptoms--fatigue, memory loss, confusion, etc. Just because it's algae doesn't mean that it's gross! The first time I tried it, I was surprised that it tasted so good. You can even buy them in capsules.

Buy it in flakes and sprinkle it on your salads, add it to a smoothie, sauces or soups.

Sea vegetables are grown in an environment full on minerals that our body needs for optimal health--the ocean.

Seaweed--compared to land vegetables--is the best vegetable sources of calcium, which is good for muscle and bone development, strength and growth. Your health food store will have different seaweed granules that you can use as a salt substitute and you'll never know the difference. You can even find them in chinese supermarkets as wafers.They taste good.

Pumpkin seeds also are great sources of protein, fat and other essential minerals. Other great seeds are hemp seed, flax seed and raw sunflower seeds. These all contain good fats and good protein for optimal health.

They are great to add to salads as an extra garnish or great as a snack or mixed in with some other superfoods.
