What are the latest superfoods?

Hippocrates famously told us to treat food as medicine, and indeed he was right. Food can heal us or it can make us ill. So what should we be eating to keep us in the best of health?

The Mayo Clinic suggests five cups of green tea every day to maintain good health. Eat wholefoods and take probiotics to help maintain a healthy digestive system. Eat plenty of oily fish to keep your levels of Omega 3 high. It helps to combat inflammation in the body.

Carrots are a good source of vitamin A. Red and yellow peppers are a richer source of vitamin C than oranges, this vitamin strengthens the immune system and neutralises toxins. Sunflower seeds are high in zinc and vitamin E, and it also helps your body to absorb vitamin C. Brazil nuts are a rich source of selenium.Mushrooms are good too for boosting your immune system. Tomatoes contain powerful antioxidants which help to prevent cancer. Egg yolk contains folic acid which contributes to healthy replication of DNA. Broccoli helps eliminate toxins, it’s good for the digestive system and it helps to detox the liver. Beetroot too has cancer fighting properties, if you’re not keen on beetroot then cherries, aubergines and red grapes are almost as good. Lentils, chickpeas and beans are great sources of fibre.

It is important to have a good diet in the challenge to regulate your weight, but surprisingly sleep is also important.If your sleep patterns are irregular it can apparently make you more resistant to leptin which is the chemical that controls your appetite.

So as usual the advice is to eat healthily and get regular sleep to bring you to a place of optimum health.
