Consumers are more aware than of the benefits food can provide for gut health and immune function. Shopping lists now include highly nutritious, immune-boosting foods—superfoods, in other words— taking the concept of superfoods from an ideal to a practical element of everyday grocery shopping. Superfood is no longer just a trendy buzzword. Here is list of superfoods you superfood you should consider;
Seeds
Seeds like chia and hemp offer essential omega-3 fatty acids. Chia pudding is a delicious way to include seeds in your meal plans.
Non-Dairy Milks
Non-dairy milks, including almond, oat, pistachio, and soy, are excellent alternatives to cow’s milk, especially for lactose-intolerant people. Try one with your cereal or granola. You probably won’t notice a difference.
Avocados
Avocados are powerhouses when it comes to nutrition—not to mention flavor. Avocado toast is one of the most delicious ways to include this superfood in your diet.
Nuts
Nuts, including pistachios, almonds, and walnuts, are all good-for-you foods, whether you grab them by the handful or make nut butter. Nut butter and jam sandwiches are a great way to introduce superfoods to kids.
Fermented Foods
Fermented foods, which includes yogurt, kimchi, kombucha tea, and pickled vegetables, are immunity-enhancing and promote gut health.
Blueberries
Blueberries, a summer fruit favorite, contain antioxidants, which protect your cells against free radicals.
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens, such as spinach, not only add anti-inflammatory flavonoids to a meal but they also (perhaps surprisingly) are an excellent source of plant-based protein.
Green Tea
Green tea has long been a diet staple in many cultures, for good reason. Its immunity-boosting properties, due to macrophages and other nutrients, are well-documented. Enjoy it hot or cold, or try a green tea float for a sweet and healthy treat.
