What Are Superfoods?
Superfoods are foods that offer exceptional nutritional density in relatively small amounts. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats — elements critical to maintaining a strong, energetic, and disease-free body.
While no single food can protect you from illness, when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, superfoods can supercharge your health in a big way!
Why You Should Add Superfoods to Your Diet
Adding superfoods to your daily diet can help:
- Improve digestion
- Enhance immune function
- Support weight management
- Promote heart health
- Boost skin glow and hair vitality
- Reduce inflammation
As Dietitian Roshani Musale says:
“Think of superfoods as nature’s multivitamins — but tastier and much more powerful!”
