That is why it is more important to use your common sense: to avoid getting lost or following trendy diets. Even superfoods in over amounts can be bad for your health.
Regardless if you follow any restrictive diet (lifestyle and/or medical reasons), it is important to include not only a rich healthy menu, but also include variety and balance in your choices.
