MEET THE SUPERFOODS
QUINOA
This pseudocereal provides proteins of high biological value and a lot of fiber to facilitate easy digestions. It will improve your intestinal transit, preventing colon cancer. Quinoa doesn´t contain gluten, so it is an extra benefit for gluten intolerants. You can prepare it boiled – like rice- and add it to your salads or sauteed with other vegetables.
BROCCOLI
This vegetable contains a lot of vitamin C, it is high in fiber and low in calories. It also contains many antioxidants that help prevent cancer. Next time your mama says, eat your broccoli, just thank her and do it.
ORANGE
Orange is the absolute superfruit. Known for its high content of vitamin C, folic acid and antioxidants. It helps fight free radicals.
DARK CHOCOLATE
The darker the better. That means that the percentage of cocoa is higher. Cocoa is rich in antioxidants and fiber. It is also very beneficial for cardiovascular health and central nervous system.
Yey! Chocolate can make you look younger but dont overeat it or, as part this rejuvenating process you might get pimples.
AVOCADO
Called by some Vegetarian Butter, Avocado has a high content of oleic acid and multiple antioxidants. It is also rich in vitamins and folates. Avocado contains more potassium than banana for example. If you add it to your salads, it multiplies by 15 the absorption of antioxidants present in the rest of vegetables.
