3 surprising superfoods

When it comes to including good foods into your diet, it can be hard to know what are really the best things for you. With so many different things being hailed as 'superfoods' it can be tricky to figure out what really is super.
You might think that food and drinks like acai berries and green tea should be at the top of the list as they have been hailed as some of the best things for a healthy diet. However, there are some foods that are sneakily super and can offer tasty - and cheaper - alternatives to those that have been heavily advertised in recent months.
Popcorn
Not only is popcorn easy and pretty cheap to make, it also comes with a load of antioxidants. In fact, popcorn actually contains more antioxidants than fruit, making it a great and healthy snack - so long as you don't douse it with sugar, salt or butter.
To avoid any nasty additives, avoid popcorn you'd get at the cinema or microwave bags. Instead, just buy plain corn kernels and pop it yourself in the microwave or on the hob. If you want to add a bit of flavour, try using different oils - such as olive or coconut - to increase the taste in a healthy way.
Blackberries
It isn't just green fruit and vegetables that are good for your diet, blackberries and other forms of dark fruit are also superfoods. The dark colour of blackberries is created by anthocyanins, which are pigments within plants that could help to protect you against a range of health issues, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. They also have more antioxidants in them than in lighter-coloured fruit.
Lentils
Not only do lentils offer a great and filling alternative to starchy foods such as rice and pasta, they also have a range of health benefits. This cheap little legume is fantastic at helping to keep your heart healthy by providing you with tonnes of fibre, which can help towards lowering your cholesterol levels.
They also have a lot of protein in them, which makes them perfect for vegetarians and vegans who have limited access to protein in their diet. This means they provide a great boost of slow-release energy to keep you going throughout the day.
- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi Kianouche, Thank you for your message. I would recommend to mix pomegranate oil with Marula oil for what you are looking to treat. A few drops of antioxidant-rich Marula oil mixed with Pomegranate oil can boost efficacy and help restore your skin’s functions in perfect equilibrium. Long term use may visibly minimise pores, brighten the skin, protect it from the oxidative damage caused by pollution, tones down pigmentation and assists with scar tissue healing. Hope this helps :)
- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi I’ve bought some of your pomegranate oil, together with rosehip and marula oils. Which of the other two oils would be better to mix with pomegranate oil for mature skin with hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and sometimes prone to spots and milia when using rich moisturisers. Also, can I use pomegranate oil by itself or combined with either of the other two oils around my eyes

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 14, 2021Hi Dolores, thank you for your message!Ashwagandha is an adaptogen so will adapt to your own bodies rhythm. It is a powerful way to regulate energy levels through the day so in some people may boost circulation and cell activity, which is why you may find yourself with insomnia. Everyone is unique and different, so will react to herbs and remedies differently. As you are using bio-identical hormones, I would advise you check with your GP, as there are often interferences with herbs. Perhaps you should try taking your Ashwagandha in the morning to regulate your bodies rhythm through the day.
