I’m generally pretty skeptical about things- especially when products are presented as miracle cure-alls, and ESPECIALLY if someone is trying to sell me something. That’s why I find the idea of “Superfoods” dubious at best. Gluten-free. Kale. Acai. Chia Seeds. There’s a new one every month. Superfood diets and juicing “cleanses” are the new fads; and they all promise that you’ll live forever and never ever get sick. That’s pretty silly, but there is no denying that eating a balanced diet is the key to good health: for humans AND our pets! Check out this post by Dr. Ernie Ward Jr. on Go Pet Plan for a few “superfoods” to give to your fur babies, and judge them for yourself:
-Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Found in fishes. Anti-inflammatory, shines coat, may prevent cancer.
-Eggs: A HUGE source of protein.
-Chickpeas: Anti-oxidants, may prevent cancer.
-Celery: Full of fiber and anti-oxidants.
-Plain, Unflavored Yogurt: Supports digestion and immune health.
These sound pretty reasonable. No products are being sold, the health benefits are scientifically explained, and it was published by a doctor. Seems legit to me!
