NEW ZODIAC: SUPERFOODS FOR YOUR SIGN

CARSON CITY, NV — Nutritionists at The Astrology Association of America have released an official list of Superfoods for each sign of the zodiac.
AAA’s dietitians worked with me to identify five foods that are crucial for optimal health and well-being for each sign.  I have also included the general health characteristics for each sign, as well as suggestions for foods to avoid.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this year’s list is the inclusion of Ophiucus, the 13th sign of the zodiac.
