Four super foods with awesome health benefits

 When you eat the wrong thing, it can often lead to having a bad day. Fortunately, I’ve got a great list of some super foods  that will make you feel great.

Apples

We all know that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but it could keep much more than that away, too. Apples are a source of antioxidants, which can help reverse the aging process and might extend your lifespan.

Oatmeal

Having a bowl of oatmeal to for breakfast is a great way to start your day, because it’s very high in fibre and slows digestion, giving you energy throughout the day. Oatmeal is also very high in vitamin B and potassium.

Avocados

Avocados have 35% more potassium than bananas and are also very high in vitamins B, K and E. They can boost your overall diet quality and might even help cure diabetes. There’s also so many delicious ways to prepare them!

Broccoli 

Broccoli contains an enzyme that can reduce the risk of cancer and is very high in vitamin C. In fact, one serving contains approximately 150% of the daily recommended amount  of vitamin C, which can reduce the length of the common cold and help prevent diseases like osteoarthritis. However, if cooked for too long, all these amazing benefits aren’t effective.
