10 superfoods you should be eating
You may have read or heard about superfoods and their wonderful benefits for our health. Also you have probably eaten most if not all superfoods, but you may not know all the power they carry. How about going into your kitchen and seeing which of the superfoods listed below are missing from your cabinet?
1. Blueberries
Due to its high nutrient content and its high antioxidant power, blueberries are considered a superfood. Several researchers have linked blueberries to multiple benefits for our health, such as: lower risk of suffering urinary tract infections, prevention of certain types of cancer, improved immune function and reduced blood pressure.

2. Chia Seeds
This plant provides the healthy fats that the body needs for its proper functioning. It is high in omega 3, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is very necessary for the proper functioning of the brain and cardiovascular system. For its multiple benefits to be effective, it is best if the seeds are ground, as this way they can be absorbed by the intestine.

3. Açaí
The benefits of açaí go far beyond its anti-ageing effect, according Carla Caratin a brazilian nutritionist, Açaí is being also a food indicated for the lack of sexual desire, for hypertension (it has a vasodilating effect) or to lower HDL cholesterol levels. It also has purifying and detoxifying properties for the body. There is no doubt that açaí has earned its place on the list of superfoods.
Is it good to have açaí everyday?
Including acai in your regular diet may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Research in Nutrition Journal found that overweight adults who consumed acai shakes twice a day for a month had better control of their lipid profile at the end of the study. Still, more evidence is needed to substantiate these effects.
Is açaí worth the hype?
Considered a superfood, açaí has fallen into popular taste and won the preference of a public adept at good nutrition – a group that also only tends to grow, as more and more people seek a healthier lifestyle.
The açaí and guaraná blend is a traditional recipe. It comes ready to eat straight from the pot; making bowls and smoothies quick and easy to prepare – not to mention it tastes amazing.
4. Almonds
This superfood provides a good amount of nutrients, has a high presence of fibre, protein, vitamin E, magnesium and manganese. A handful of almonds provides about 160 calories and a generous amount of antioxidants.
Almonds help prevent the increase of cholesterol, reduce the feeling of hunger (which leads to weight loss) and help control blood pressure.
5. Dark Chocolate
You may not believe it, but Dark Chocolate is considered a “superfood” as it contains more than 50 nutrients and bioactive components, such as polyphenols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that protect the general health of the body, but especially cardiovascular health. The cocoa that gives rise to dark chocolate gives us energy, helps maintain our ideal weight and helps fight depression.
6. Eggs
In the nutritional field, the egg is considered a superfood and, due to its biological value, it is the best source of natural protein we can find.
It is rich in vitamins (a, d, k and b12), omega 3 and minerals (iron, phosphorus, potassium). It is also rich in choline, a nutrient that plays a fundamental role in the proper development of brain and nervous system functions; and in lutein, present in the yolk, a type of organic pigment that can help prevent vision loss.
7. Garlic
A superfood that you have at home and probably didn’t know about: garlic.
On the one hand, it contains a substance called allicin that acts as a hypoglycaemic, antibiotic, antithrombotic and antioxidant. In addition, it contains chemical compounds that are attributed to cell detoxification functions and protection against colorectal cancer or cardiovascular diseases.
8. Ginger
Ginger is a superfood as it provides vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and phytochemicals that prevent the onset of diseases.
This plant was traditionally used to treat digestive problems and is now a widely used food in India, Japan and China, where it is cultivated.
9. Green Tea
Green tea is currently known to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet with multiple benefits thanks to its high antioxidant content. Of course, we must keep in mind that it is not a miracle and that its regular consumption is not a remedy for anything, but an aid to improve our health.
10. Honey
Honey is considered a superfood thanks to the enormous diversity of benefits and properties that are recognised in it, which leads numerous experts to recommend its regular consumption, guaranteeing that consuming it in moderation produces several benefits for our health.
This recommendation is based on its nutritional properties, which stem from its richness in vitamins A, C, D, B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6, as well as copper, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, calcium, manganese , sodium and iodine.
