7 superfoods to start eating

1. Broccoli

Starting off on the road to a new and improved you? This means detox, detox and more detox! The best way to do this is make sure you’re eating broccoli.  Broccoli is one of the most concentrated food sources of vitamin C and in addition it contains flavonoids which are necessary for the body to recycle vitamin C effectively. With broccoli you get the vitamin and the tools to make sure it’s working. Broccoli is a powerful antioxidant and contains lots of calcium and vitamin K- both of which are important for healthy bones.

2. Kale

A nutritional powerhouse, Kale has become very popular over recent times as these small green leaves are loaded with the goodness of calcium, vitamins and iron. Kale (when cooked correctly) can be a delicious source of goodness for all the family. And if you’re watching your weight – even better news as kale is low in calories and high in fibre, with zero fat.

3. Bananas

There is so much more to this delicious fruit than just energy.  If you’ve packed a few pounds and want to get fighting fit, bananas help aid weight loss. Vitamin B6 found in bananas helps produce white blood cells and is needed for the production of antibodies by white blood cell. So next time you feel peckish, help yourself to a banana or even a banana smoothie.

4. Oily fish / wild salmon

Oily fish like sardines or wild salmon are full of Omega 3 which is thought to be one of the best food substances for brain memory and power. And as if that’s not enough, omega 3 also helps reduce risk of heart disease by ensuring arteries are kept flexible and free from blockages. If you start to add this superfood to your diet sooner rather than later, you will be doing a lot to ensure you are helping your body for years to come.
