The health industry is often littered with buzzwords. From pre to probiotics and gluten-free to antioxidants, many terms that are bandied can take some time to decipher. This isn’t the same with ‘superfoods’ though as they are exactly that – super foods.
Foods that fall under this heading host an excellent source of nutrition for the body. The most modern superfood to take the UK by storm is the humble avocado – due to its high nutrient value – which contains 20 different vitamins and minerals.
The other recent rise in popularity has been for coconut oil. The fatty acid rich, fruit, nut and seed – it technically can be all three – is good for the gut due to its natural bacteria-fighting properties.
Blueberries are another accessible superfood. This berry is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C which are easy to add to anyone’s diet in a fruit salad or as a snack on the go.
Another great snack are almonds. Of all the nuts available, almonds are the most nutrient-rich and a great source of protein.
With so many good superfoods available it can be hard to decide which ones to pick to best benefit the body.
One easy way to get a daily boost of superfoods is to try a nutrient rich powder that can be added to things like smoothies. Veganicity’s SuperReds Powder is a revolution containing 14 superfoods and offers a natural source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and other macro nutrients to help promote great health and well-being.
Simon Bandy, General Manager of Veganicity, says, “We are very lucky to be able to locally buy a vast array of foods that are really good for us. However, trying to fit them all into the diet can often be tricky so we developed SuperReds for a daily boost of fabulous nutrition. Turbo-charging your body first thing in the morning can give everyone the best possible start to the day.”
Veganicity SuperReds retails at £19.95 and is available from www.veganicity.com, www.amazon.co.uk and all good independent health shops nationwide.
