There has been a lot of rubbish spouted about obscure plants and tropical fruits that are meant to be super foods.
Here are the real super foods that are in every supermarket and what we should all be eating.
1. Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a good source of protein and a valuable supplement, especially if you exercise a lot. Mixed with soft fruit it is a very filling breakfast. It's good for your gut, is a good source of calcium and it's unctuous, which means it's filling.
2. Blackcurrants. Everyone goes on about blueberries. Well forget them and eat blackcurrants. They are a rich source of vitamin C and contain massive amounts of antioxidants, flavanoids and polyphenolics that make you healthy and well.
3. Yellow bell peppers. Yes, it has to be yellow peppers. They contain vitamin C and are a source of niacin, folacin, iron and protein.
4. Nectarines. This fruit should be eaten daily. They are an excellent source of dietary fibre, beta carotine and potassium.
5. Broccoli. This is the super food of super foods! It is a very good source of vitamin K, which is an easy one to be deficient in. This vitamin helps you to maintain healthy bones and efficient blood clotting. Broccoli also contains just about every vitamin and mineral you care to mention.
Happy eating and good health!
