Time to remember: top superfoods, the benefits of which we forgot
And it's not just plant foods.
If you want to add variety to your daily menu without harm to health, think about these products. They are so simple and affordable that many have already forgotten about their benefits ...
Lupine beans
They are rich in fiber, which has a beneficial effect on the condition of the bones. In addition, these beans normalize blood sugar levels, so they will be of particular benefit to people with diabetes.
Sardines
These little fish contain a huge amount of omega-3 fatty acids that lower cholesterol and prevent various bone diseases.
Red onion
Source of vitamins K, C and B12. Thanks to the use of red onions, you can strengthen your immune system, so if you often get sick, then make it a rule to add such onions to salads more often.
Capers
They actively slow down the aging process of the skin and even visibly smooth out wrinkles. A real superfood for super-beauty!
Sweet potato
It contains a lot of vitamin A, thanks to which the skin becomes smooth and elastic. Baked sweet potatoes are especially useful - this method of preparation helps to preserve the maximum benefit. The main supply of the vitamin is hidden not in the pulp of this root crop, but in the peel (however, the same applies to ordinary young potatoes).
Mushrooms
Another champion in the content of fiber and vitamin C. Mushrooms have pronounced anti-inflammatory properties and strengthen the protective function of the body. By adding them to soups and salads, you will soon forget about colds.
Kale
This product contains the best elements of the periodic table - calcium (and these are strong bones, healthy hair and nails), iron (for good blood circulation), zinc (in order to be exposed to all kinds of viruses and colds as little as possible). You can add it to a salad or steam it as a side dish for meat / fish.
