What Vegetable is Like eating Botox? 

By Tad Lemire

Have you heard about "superfoods"?

These are fruits and vegetables that have been found to not only be nutritious and good for you, but have other healthy benefits as well such as lowering your cholesterol or having extra antioxidents.

Dietician Alyse Levine went on the TV show Extra to talk about four superfoods that you never would have guessed would be that good for you:

  • Brussel sprouts - have more vitamin C than any other vegetable, which can help reduce wrinkles in the same way that Botox does
  • Cherries - great for after-workouts to help you recover quicker
  • Pumpkin seeds - have tons of iron, a great snack for women who are iron-deficient
  • Chia seeds - just like some fish, these have Omega 3
