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.
- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing.

- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Can I use the carrot oil in the day time? Because I am using Vitamin c serum in the night. Please advise. Thanks
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
