Nutrient deficiencies are relatively common. They occur when people don’t get enough of a certain vitamin or mineral through the foods they eat, and the consequences of some deficiencies can be more than feeling generally lackluster. Some deficiencies, like vitamin E, can lead to serious health problems, including nerve damage. Others may cause people to experience symptoms such as anxiety, weakness, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping, which are difficult to trace back to a specific source, but may well come from not getting enough of a certain nutrient.

While this all can sound like bad news, there are fortunately many ways to get enough vitamins and minerals. Some of the best sources of all the nutrients your body needs are superfoods, which offer delicious ways to make sure you’re taking care of your diet and your health.

To find the most common nutrient deficiencies, Revive Superfoods analyzed data from a 2017 paper published by the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. The institute used data collected during the Center for Disease Control’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Nutrient deficiencies were measured by Estimated Average Requirement (EAR), defined as “a nutrient intake value that is estimated to meet the requirement of half the healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group.”

#10. Vitamin A

– Percent less than EAR: 5.7%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 377 μg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 604 μg

Vitamin A is a vital nutrient for good vision, a well-functioning immune system, and good skin health. While deficiency is rare in the developed world, pregnant people and those who breastfeed may be at higher risk for deficiency. A vitamin A deficiency can make a common cold more likely, skin act unruly, and impair vision over the long term. Symptoms include dry skin and eyes, along with throat and chest infections. To get the full recommended amount of vitamin A, load up on superfoods like carrots, pumpkins, and squash.

#9. Zinc

– Percent less than EAR: 6.5%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 9.8 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 11.5 mg

Zinc is an important mineral that fights off infections and produces cells. Telltale signs of a zinc deficiency include hair loss, mental fogginess, and the reduced ability to taste and smell. How can you get more of this mineral in your diet? Consider loading up on foods high in zinc. These include meat and dairy—but vegetarians and vegans do have good options. Chickpeas are high in zinc, and are excellent on their own, or pureed into hummus.

#8. Phosphorus

– Percent less than EAR: 16.8%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 1,257 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 1,280 mg

Other than calcium, phosphorus is the most common mineral in the body. Without consuming adequate phosphorus, people may experience bone pain, loss of appetite, anxiety, fatigue, irregular breathing, and weight change. Children may have the healthy growth of their bones and teeth impacted. To get enough phosphorus, load up on a few key foods. These can include fish, nuts, grains, and dried fruit. One pleasant way to get your phosphorus in is to opt for oysters before your meal, as they are high in phosphorus.

#7. Vitamin C

– Percent less than EAR: 19.2%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 66.2 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 84.8 mg

Those who don’t consume enough fruits and vegetables are typically most at risk for a lack of vitamin C in their diets. Symptoms of a deficiency include fatigue, bruising, and general weakness. Symptoms may not appear until after several months of deficiency. Fortunately, it’s relatively easy to get enough vitamin C. Eat a rainbow of superfoods and vegetables full of the vitamin, such as oranges, peppers, broccoli, and strawberries.

#6. Magnesium

– Percent less than EAR: 35.5%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 229 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 236 mg

Magnesium helps regulate the nervous system, from sleep to energy levels to mood. If you’re not getting enough, you may experience depression, dips in energy, and difficulty falling asleep. Fortunately, there are many ways to get a natural boost of magnesium through your diet. Eating lots of leafy greens is the best plant-based way to incorporate magnesium into your daily food plan. Leafy greens include spinach, kale, and lettuce.

#5. Calcium

– Percent less than EAR: 47.2%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 963 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 1,025 mg

Calcium is vital for bone health. When not enough calcium is consumed, bones may become brittle and weak. One of the best ways to counteract calcium deficiency is to make sure you’re eating enough food with high calcium content. Even vegans and vegetarians have options for increasing daily calcium intake, far beyond milk. Beans, lentils and edamame are calcium-rich foods, as well as seaweed and fruits like oranges and raspberries.

#4. Vitamin K

– Percent less than EAR: 62.4%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 55.8 μg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 56.2 μg

Vitamin K is vital for its ability to form blood clots in the body. This means when people get a cut on their skin, the body has natural ways to prevent a small cut from gushing blood. When not enough vitamin K is present in the body, the ability to form these healthy clots is compromised, which can present a health risk. However, this risk can be managed by making sure enough vitamin K is present in the diet. Vegetables such as brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower are high in vitamin K.

#3. Vitamin E

– Percent less than EAR: 81.4%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 5.7 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 5.9 mg

Vitamin E deficiency can cause  serious health problems. These include nerve and muscle damage, loss of body movement control, and muscle weakness. Another symptom—particularly relevant in the era of the coronavirus—is a weakened immune system. However, there is plenty that people can do to make sure they’re getting enough vitamin E. Some of the superfoods that have particularly high vitamin E counts include avocados, chard, and spinach. If you’re on the go, consider packing sunflower seeds for a snack, which are also high in vitamin E.

#2. Vitamin D

– Percent less than EAR: 86.8%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 1.7 μg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 6.1 μg

Vitamin D is important for bone health. In cases of severe deficiency, this can lead to brittle bones over time. The two main sources of vitamin D are the sun and foods, which means that those who live in less sunny climates can struggle with getting adequate vitamin D. There are fortunately many foods that can be incorporated into one’s diet for vitamin D. These include mushrooms for plant-based diets, and herring and sardines for the bold.

#1. Potassium

– Percent less than EAR: 97.6%
– Average daily intake from food:
— Naturally occurring: 2,288 mg
— Naturally occurring and enriched/fortified: 2,301 mg

Potassium is a mineral and an electrolyte. It can deplete in the body when it is chronically dehydrated, whether from overconsumption of alcohol, or excessive sweating or vomiting. A deficiency can impact everything from nerve function to blood pressure. Consuming enough potassium—but not too much—is vital to managing levels. Potassium can be found in superfoods like bananas, leafy greens, and carrots.

Balanced diets contribute to healthy well-being overall, largely because they contain a variety of these essential nutrients. Remaining vigilant about what vitamins or minerals may be lacking in the body and knowing where to get them can prevent long-term consequences on someone’s well-being. Each nutrient contributes to overall health in a specific way, and finding what’s missing from a diet can lead to fun experimentation with new recipes and even trying new foods.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away – but is that enough? Eating enough fruits and vegetables every day can have a massive impact on your overall health. Not only can they aid in weight loss, but they provide your body with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants(1), which together can reduce inflammation, improve gut health and lower your risk of chronic illness. A new study shows that “5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables, eaten as 2 servings of fruit and 3 servings of vegetables, may be the optimal amount and combination for a longer life” – A LONGER LIFE! 

But Why is it Important?

For starters, fruits and veggies like apples, oranges, and berries are low in calories and high in fiber. That means they not only provide volume, but they take longer to digest, making you feel full for longer. But keep in mind – not all fruits and veggies offer the same health benefits. Studies show that starchy vegetables, potatoes, and fruit juices are not associated with a reduced risk of death from chronic diseases than others. Leafy greens like spinach and kale alongside berries, citrus fruits, and carrots, showed benefits (2). 

Now that I’ve told you the secret to a longer and healthier life let’s look at the facts. How many fruits and veggies do you eat in a day? If you’re not stoked about strawberries or cool with cucumbers, you’re not alone. According to Statistics Canada, only 40% of Canadians consume at least 5 servings (400 grams) of fruits and vegetables daily(3).  But don’t worry, Revive Superfoods has 5 easy tips to boost your daily intake of fruits and veggies! 

1. Make it a Priority

Don’t know what your intake is like? Write down a list of fruits and veggies you eat in a day. If it’s not 400 grams per day, try to include fruits and veggies with every meal/snack. Once you make this a habit, you can start to plan out your day/week, ensuring you buy enough fresh produce to have at home for each meal. TIP: have frozen fruits and veggies at home in case you run out of the fresh stuff! 

2. Don’t Play Hide and Seek

 After a massive grocery run, don’t push the fruits and veggies to the back of the fridge. If it doesn’t fit in your crisp drawers, make sure you keep those delicious berries front and center so you can see them every time you open the refrigerator door! Even better – put your fruit basket in the middle of your table for quick access on the go!

3. Ready to GO!

Make it even easier on yourself, and have some raw veggies chopped up for an easy snack. Things like celery sticks, baby carrots, and apple slices are great ways to manage your cravings, especially if it’s pre-planned and ready to go! Not to mention, chopped, or sliced veggies makes it easier to pair with your favorite dips! Apples and peanut butter? Celery sticks with hummus? YUM!

4. Mix It Up

Try eating your favorite veggies in various ways – raw, cooked, or steamed, whatever works! I absolutely adore onions – not a popular opinion, I know. Eating onions the same way every day can get boring, so I try to mix it up! I like to sauté onions with my eggs in the morning, toss raw thin slices into a Greek salad for lunch, and add them to a roast for dinner. Mixing up how you prepare your veggies will change the flavor and pair it easily with different meals for any time of day! 

5 Make it a smoothie!

Smoothies are the perfect way to pack in 2-3 more servings of fruits and veggies a day! Revive Superfoods has over 15 delicious smoothies to choose from. Adding smoothie to your daily routine is the perfect way to ensure you are getting your daily intake of fruits & veggies every single day. So get started today! Check out some popular smoothies such as Liquid Gold and Strawberry Zen.

Pulses are dried peas, chickpeas, lentils, and beans. They are a part of the legume family, a major superfood and a staple in most plant-based diets.

Here are the three reasons why pulses should be on your next grocery list.

1. Nutritional content

Pulses are packed with fiber, protein, and micronutrients that support a healthy gut microbiome.

Just one serving of pulses provides:

• 12-16 g of protein
• 7-15 g of fiber 
• 6-12 mg of Iron 
• High amounts of folate, potassium, calcium, and magnesium 

The health benefits of pulses extend beyond their nutritional value. Research has shown that increased dietary consumption of pulses is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. 

If you’re looking to get your fill of pulses, Revive Superfoods has vegan-friendly superfood smoothies and supermeals that are nutrient-dense and contain different pulses. Try the Hazy Coco smoothie or the Buddhacado and Power Pom supermeals! 

2. Environmental impact

Pulses are nitrogen-fixing crops, which means they are good for the environment. In addition, Pulses have a much longer shelf life  than animal protein and fresh produce. Therefore they do not contribute to as much food waste. Pulses are the future of sustainable agriculture!

3. Versatility in the kitchen

Pulses can be used to make a wide variety of meals or even consumed on their own. Revive Superfoods Falafel Pops use chickpeas as a base to give each pop a high fiber and protein content. You can swap out common ingredients for pulses with most meals. For example, swap black beans for beef in burgers, pureed split yellow peas for cheese in mac & cheese, and chickpeas for taco filling. There are many ways to experiment with Pulses! 

Head over to our website to discover some of our most popular cups!

Are you one of those people who thinks that everything tastes better when it’s covered in chocolate? You are not alone! From fondue to chocolate-covered fruits to solid chocolate, it’s hard to deny the temptations to eat everything in sight. Chocolate is the dessert of love, and as it turns out, our heart loves it too! So if you feel bad about eating chocolate — don’t! Here is why chocolate is an excellent addition to your diet and why you shouldn’t feel bad about eating it!

Is all chocolate healthy?

Firstly, let’s set the record straight — not ALL chocolate is beneficial for your health. Unfortunately, sweet, creamy milk and white chocolate bars are full of sugar, fats, and dairy ingredients.  But don’t worry — dark chocolate is where it’s at! Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cacao tree; it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet — let me repeat — ON THE PLANET! Dark chocolate contains anywhere from 50-90% cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar; Milk chocolate contains only 10-50% of cocoa solids and butter, while the rest is milk and sugar, crazy, right?! So if you LOVE chocolate and want to eat more of it, make sure you are eating the darkest you can find (at least 70% cocoa)! 

Are you craving chocolate yet? So are we!

Benefits of dark chocolate

Let’s get a bit “sciency” for a second. Cocoa contains a type of plant nutrient called flavanols. Flavonols can be found in many foods and beverages like tea, red wine, blueberries, apples, pears, cherries, and peanuts, but they are particularly abundant in cacao beans (made to use chocolate). The more cocoa powder, the darker the chocolate — the more health benefits! Chocolate-obsessed scientists have been studying the health benefits of dark chocolate for decades. They found that it may be beneficial to our heart health and help improve brain function, and may lead to healthier-looking skin! Overall, flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure, help improve blood flow to the brain and heart, help with insulin resistance, help prevent blood clots, and help fight cell damage (2). But how much is too much?

Everything in moderation

It is important to note that even dark chocolate is high in calories (150-170 calories/ounce), and adding it to your diet can contribute to weight gain if eaten in excess. We don’t recommend eating an entire dark chocolate bar every day, but if you’d like to add some dark chocolate shavings to your oats, yogurt, or a few squares to the side of a fruit platter — go nuts! (1) And if you don’t know how much to add, Revive Superfoods has added a bit of chocolatey goodness into our recipes. We use a mix of cocoa, cacao nibs and vegan chocolate chips in our oats and smoothies for all of your chocolate cravings. Try our Banana Nut Oats or any one of these smoothies for your daily dose of chocolate that you crave and need: Morning Mocha, Hazy Coco, Hint of Mint and Blue Cacao.

The month of February is all about love. We are surrounded by heart-shaped candies, chocolates, cards and cakes but why do we forget to actually show our own hearts some love too? Did you know that February is also American Heart Month? At Revive Superfoods, we want to help raise awareness about heart health and provide you with some tips to reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Here are 6 heart-healthy habits to follow so you can continue to love with your whole heart ❤️ 

1. Know the risk factors

Are you or a loved one between the ages of 40 and 75 years old? Does heart and stroke disease run in your family? Do you smoke, have high cholesterol levels or high blood pressure? If yes, make it a priority this month to incorporate some of the following tips into your daily routine and reduce your risk. Get your family members involved too! Spread awareness and love. 

2. Move that body!

Spoiler Alert! Your heart is a muscle and needs exercise too… Try to get at least 20 minutes of physical activity every day with a slightly sweaty glisten! Need some help? Check out our IGTV workout series! Too busy? Go for a walk during your lunch break, march on the spot during commercial breaks, or dance around in the kitchen while you make dinner. Anything and everything counts!

3. Don’t stress

Stress is a silent but powerful force against a healthy heart. Schedule some time for yourself to do the things that relax you. Take a bubble bath, read a book, meditate, or incorporate yoga into your routine. A peaceful mind is a peaceful and healthy heart. Need some help meditating? 

4. Catch those Z’s

Sleep is so important for heart health and we rarely get enough of it! Studies have shown that lack of sleep may be linked to high blood pressure and heart disease. Did you know that poor sleep can also lead to unhealthy habits? When we are tired, we tend to be more stressed, less motivated to be active, and make unhealthy food choices. Aim to get an average of 8 hours of sleep per night! Need some extra help sleeping? Relax Melodies offers the perfect guided meditation and relaxation to help you sleep better!  

5. Quit Smoking

Talk to your healthcare professional for strategies to help you eliminate your smoking habit. Smoking increases your heart rate, tightens your arteries, and can cause you to have an irregular heartbeat. It also raises your blood pressure, which increases your risk of stroke. This all makes your heart work harder but not in a good way! So quit it (pun intended)! 

6. Eat heart-healthy foods!

Your heart loves fruits and veggies, whole grains, legumes, nuts, plant-based proteins, lean animal proteins and fish. Limit saturated fat, avoid trans fats and choose healthy fats like olive and avocado oil. And when you are buying packaged food, read the food labels to limit your sodium and sugar intake as well. 

Try our Heart Beet Smoothie and Banana Nut Oats, two of our heart-healthy options here at Revive Superfoods!

Choose to give your own heart some love this month! Take care of it, so it can take care of others. This means being active, eating healthy, avoiding tobacco, and managing the conditions that put you at a greater risk.  

If you have any personal questions or need more information, please consult your healthcare professional.

A Keto Diet is a low Carb diet. The popular sources out on the web say that the keto diet consists of 5-10% carbohydrates.
