We believe the best diet consists of a balanced meal. And when it comes to meals, more specifically healthy meals, we often hear the term “superfoods” used a bit loosely. Let’s be honest “superfoods” is nothing but a term coined as a marketing strategy. Simply put, when you include ingredients that stand out from the others in terms of nutrition value then these foods fall into the superfood category. Here are the top five (super) foods that should be a part of a your daily diet.
Green Leafy Vegetables
Never ignore the nutritional value of greens. Leafy vegetables are a rich source of fibre, iron, magnesium, anti-inflammatory compounds and vitamins A, B, and C. We recommend using kale, spinach, lettuce, and collard greens to be part of your diet. You can use them in the form of soups, salads, curries or stir fry them lightly
Berries
Berries are considered to be a great source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They help in reducing the risk of heart diseases, cancer and indigestion. We recommend you use berries such as strawberries, blueberries, cranberries and raspberries in your breakfast, smoothies or desserts
Eggs
Nothing can beat the goodness of the good old egg. Eggs are a rich source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. Include eggs in any form that you like.
Green Tea
A super rich source of antioxidants, green tea is considered a natural remedy for numerous ailments. Green tea helps in the treatment of chronic heart diseases as well as it is found very effective in reducing the risk of cancer. People often consume green tea to reduce weight. Make sure you have cups of green tea everyday for a healthy lifestyle.
Dry fruits
Dry fruits are a great source of vitamins, proteins, fibre and heart-healthy fats. They help reduce weight and the risk of heart diseases. Make sure you include dry fruits such as walnuts, almonds, pistachios in your daily diet
