How to improve your daily diet in a simple way? Make a habit of consuming super foods. But what is it ? Super foods are natural products (seeds, berries, algae, fruits and vegetables) which have a beneficial effect on the body by providing antioxidants, vitamins and trace elements.
In addition to boosting your immune system, they can boost your energy and even impact your skin by making it more radiant. Some can even burn calories and aid in your weight loss.
Goji berries, blueberries, kale, turmeric, ginseng, soy, royal jelly… The list is far from complete. But did you know that some everyday foods can easily be transformed into superfoods and thus maximize their benefits? Naturally found in fruits and vegetables, antioxidants can be boosted with gentle boosts. This is particularly the case when switching from fruit to a frying pan (this increases the level of antioxidants by 50%) or by getting into the habit of leave the tomatoes out of the fridge after buying them : their level of lycopene, an antioxidant with anticancer properties, will also double.
Rely on the size and color of vegetables
Certain combinations can also be beneficial to certain foods. If dairy products tend to curb the benefits of berries (blackcurrants, blueberries, etc.), oilseeds multiply them. The mixture of berries and nuts drizzled with almond milk is therefore a good tip for consuming superfoods.
