Superfoods
Superfoods are mostly plant-based and are a collection of nutrient-rich natural foods such as berries, seeds, grains, algae, vegetables, and fruits, which can have a positive effect on your body. Superfoods contain an abundance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants. Most healthy foods contain only two or three of these nutritional properties - Because our modern diet is often not as nutritious as it should be we can greatly benefit from these superfoods and experience their super nutritious value. Here at VitaHealth we have a huge range of superfoods in various forms so you can come up with many creative ways when including them into your daily life. Enjoy!

Undoubtedly you’ve heard the term “superfoods” which has become synonymous with foods that will improve how you feel and look and that will ultimately lead to a longer, happier lifestyle. But what exactly are superfoods and what is it that makes them that super?
What are Superfoods?
There really isn’t set in stone definition of what exactly a “superfood” is. However, they are considered to be food that pack a powerful nutritional punch that outweighs their less nutritious counterparts. They usually provide large amount of antioxidants, phytochemical, vitamins and minerals that make them superior to other foods. They are normally of a plant-based variety but some come in different forms too - like fish and some dairy.
Some of the most well known superfoods include things like salmon, kale, almonds, kefir and a variety of berries.
What are the benefits of superfoods?
There is an unusually high amount of vitamins and minerals found in superfoods that can help to boost your immune system and fight off more common illnesses likes colds and flu but also ward off the more serious diseases and keep you healthier for longer. There’s no point in sticking to superfoods if you are not going to incorporate them into a healthy, well-balanced diet; if combined properly with the right food, however, they can help improve your heart health, speed up weight loss, up your energy levels and in some ways even reduce the effects of ageing.
As we’ve already mentioned, superfoods are rich in antioxidants, which are well known for their cancer-preventing properties. Many are also a source of healthy fats, which go a long way in lowering the risk of heart disease; one of the other properties in superfoods is fibre, which help with your digestive tract, preventing diabetes and digestive problems. Phytochemical's have a number of health and well ness benefits too and are also great for your cardiovascular system. Just a few other things that superfoods are known for is getting rid of toxins, encouraging lower cholesterol, speeding up your metabolism and bringing down inflammation.
