SUPER FOOD

Superfoods are the foods that offer us tremendous health benefits and healing properties.

Not all superfoods are super weird. A lot of them probably already live in your cupboard!

Here is common superfoods:

1, Oatmeal

High in fiber, antioxidants, and tons of other nutrients, this breakfast staple has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels, aid in digestion, and even improve metabolism. And it's downright delicious.

 

2, Lentil

They're pretty inexpensive, easy to prepare, and high in protein, iron and other essential nutrients.The iron may help fight off anemia (acconition that's especially common among vegetarians and vegans), and they're low on the glycemic index, too. That means they cause blood sugar to spike less quickly than other starches, so our energy lasts longer.

 

3, Garlic

Yes, it might leave breath less- than- desirable, but these cloves can do more than flavor--they've been used for centuries as food and medicine. These days, garlic is used to treat anything from high blood pressure and heart disease to certain types of cancer. Plus, studies suggest garlic extract can be used to treat yeast infections in women and prostate issues in men.

 

4,Ginger

Slightly spicy but oh-so-enjoyable, ginger has been used for years as delicious flavoring and an all- natural remedy for everything from an upset stomach to unwanted inflammation.

 

5,Califlower

While all the vitamins and minerals(calcium) are a great bonus, the real star here is cauliflower's  cancer- fighting compounds, glucosinolates. These phytochemicals are responsible for califlower's sometimes -better flavor, but they have also been shown to prevent damage to lungs and stomach by carcinogens, potentially protecting against those cancers. And thanks to interactions with estrogen, cauliflower may also help prevent hormone- driven cancers like breast, uterine, and cervical.

 

6, Broccoli

This lean, mean , green  machine is packed with vitamins, minerals, disease -fighting compounds, are the fiber essential in any diet. Though all members of the cruciferous vegetable family are super - duper healthy, broccoli stands out for its exceptionally high levels of vitamin C and folate (which can reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and stroke).

7, Spinachi

Antioxidants, anti- inflammatories, and vitamins that promote vision and bone health are what make this little green so super.and those bones will be thanking spinach, too! Just one cup of the stuff packs up to 12 percent of the recommended daily dose of calcium and enough vitamin K to help prevent bone loss.

 

8,Pumpkin 

Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, these gourds aren't  just for carving ( or makin into pie). The star nutrient heere is beta- carotene, a provitamin that the body converts to vitamin A, which is known for its immune-boosting powers and essential role in eye health.
