For super health, superfoods are necessary. Nature has given us an abundance of superfoods to include in our diet to get a healthy system. However, due to various reasons such as cost concern, people are more inclined towards fast foods rather than these superfoods, which are rich in nutrients. Having eaten junk food every single day leads to adverse effects on health. Although superfoods contain an enormous amount of nutrients in it, eating them without any physical activity may not give you all possible benefits.

The benefits of cinnamon are numerous as it contains high antioxidants. In addition, it is also linked to cholesterol, PMS symptoms, lowers blood sugar, and decreased inflammation. I usually eat cinnamon with my oatmeal everyday because it not only furnishes us me with a super taste but also gives me an abundance of health benefits.

Blue Berries
Blue Berries, one of the tastier foods around the world, are packed with enormous nutrients, some of which are antioxidants, vitamin C and K, and manganese. It also helps to reverse aging, enhancing memory and vision.
Almonds
When we list out some superfoods, we must include almonds at any cost. I think vegan would benefit more with almonds than other because its packed with calcium, protein and vitamin E. However, almonds are usually high in calories, so keeping a record of how much we eat is necessary. There are some evidence states almonds may reduce heart diseases by improving blood vessels efficiency.
Adding even a handful (around 50g) every day for a short period can help. You could replace a daytime snack with a bag of almonds or add them to your regular meals like porridge or muesli to help reduce your risk of heart problems. Source
Flax Seeds
These are rich in Omega 3 Fatty acids, which are essential to improve brain activities, retards inflammation, and associated with reducing the risk of cancer. I ground the flax seeds before they are included in my oatmeal, which allows my body to take full benefits of flax seeds.
These are just a few of many superfoods around the world. A balanced diet with physical and mental exercise will fulfill our healthy lifestyle.
