Everything You Need To Know About Superfoods And Why You Should Add Them To Your Diet

Khushboo Saluja by Khushboo Saluja

Superfoods are the latest health food trend to have blown up the internet. The term is plastered across all your favourite fitness blogs and everyone’s talking about how great they are. But what are superfoods?

Superfoods are essentially nutrient-dense foods that have a host of health benefits that collectively help tackle inflammation and boost immunity. That being said, superfoods don’t actually make up a new food group and were only termed so by marketers to influence food trends. In fact, chances are that you knew about most of these items long before they came to be known as superfoods. However, now you should make sure that your plate sees a lot more of these for a true immunity-boosting health kick.

1. Turmeric

The revered ‘Golden Spice of India’ has long been a household hack for mild aches and colds. Turmeric contains the active compound curcumin, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as analgesic properties. I personally prefer to skip the haldi-doodh and start my day with a warm cup of turmeric-honey-lemon-pepper tea. The piperine in black pepper helps with better absorption of the curcumin.

2. Berries

An assortment of colourful berries. Berries are amazing superfoods.

Berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc. are high in fibre and have a ton of antioxidants. These antioxidants help control the free radicals in your body and prevent the development of oxidative stress. Moreover, strawberries and raspberries are also a powerful source of Vitamin C. And well, they’re delicious. While fresh berries aren’t easily available across India, the good news is that unadulterated frozen berries still do the trick. Add these flavourful superfoods to your daily smoothies ASAP.

3. Chickpeas

Chickpeas have an exceptional nutritional value and a multitude of health benefits to offer. Chickpeas are rich in fibre, specifically raffinose which helps replenish the gut flora and reduce inflammation. The choline found in chickpeas helps boost the body’s metabolism, while selenium supports cognitive health. They’re also a great source of protein, iron, magnesium, folate, potassium, and phosphorus. Skip the chips and dip, and go for some hummus and steamed veggies for your next snack.

4. Leafy greens

Most of us have a love-hate relationship with green juices and smoothies. But like you’ve heard a million times before, greens are your best friends. Leafy greens are a powerhouse of nutrition. They’re an excellent source of fibre, folate, and carotenoids. And that’s not all, these superfoods are also rich in calcium, iron and vitamins C and K. In fact, kale is a better source of calcium than milk. Moreover, studies have found that the carotenoids in leafy greens have the potential to inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer if consumed on a regular basis. So, don’t shy away from your palaks, saags and methi anymore, your body will thank you.

5. Pomegranate

Pomegranates are delicious. And also, tedious. But don’t let that stop you from consuming this superfood anymore. Those juicy anars have high amounts of antioxidants which help bring down inflammation and contribute to cell regeneration. Pomegranates are also great for heart health and keep your blood pressure and blood sugar levels in check. So, what are you waiting for? Get down to that peeling and deseeding business already. Because clearly, the benefits of this juicy fruit outweigh your lazy lamhein moments.

6. Moringa

Moringa has long been lauded as the ‘tree of life’ and rightly so. Popularly known as drumstick, this superfood is used as an antioxidant, an aphrodisiac, and to increase breast milk production for lactating mothers. Moreover, it has proven to be a worthy fighter against a host of diseases like anaemia, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, constipation, cancer, stomach ulcers, thyroid disorders, heart problems etc. While the drumsticks and moringa leaves can be consumed as cooked vegetables, you may also use moringa powder as a condiment.

7. Green tea

Swapping at least one of your daily cups of coffee with some green tea will take you a step closer to achieving your health goals. This elixir has the potential to prevent cellular damage leading to cancer and ageing. It also helps maintain heart health and improve cholesterol levels. The antioxidants present in green tea also protect against neurogenerative diseases and combat free radicals in the body.

8. Brazil nuts

Brazil nuts are underrated superfoods with numerous health benefits

Image Source

If skin concerns keep you up at night, this superfood is the way to go. Brazil nuts are known to be excellent emollients and help with skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and acne. Being selenium-rich, they also enhance immunity and bring down inflammation in the body. That being said, too much selenium isn’t good for you either, so consume these in moderation.

9. Whole grains

An assortment of whole grains

Refined grains like regular atta, maida, and white rice are stripped of most of their nutrients during the milling process.  On the other hand, whole grains like brown rice, rolled oats, buckwheat, millets, quinoa etc. are extremely rich in fibre and trace minerals. Switching to these grains for your carb intake is the first step to take in your mission to reclaim your health. Whole grains have the power to repair your gut and will drastically reduce your dependence on artificial supplements for things like zinc, manganese, copper, magnesium, and iron. For those who want to shed any extra weight, consuming whole grains will keep you full for longer and help you cut down on the mindless snacking.

10. Fermented foods

Colourful jars of fermented foods

Regular consumption of probiotic-rich fermented foods like kombucha, kimchi, kefir, and sauerkraut is essential to replenish your gut microbiome. These contain plenty of good bacteria that can reverse the damage done by inflammatory foods. In fact, fermented kimchi is known to boost metabolism and aid weight loss as well.

As has been said time and again, food is medicine. What you fuel your body with has a direct impact on your health and wellbeing. And while this list of superfoods isn’t exhaustive, it’ll definitely help you get started on your health journey.

Apart from being a bookworm, a film and theatre aficionado, an adventure sports enthusiast and an avid seeker of pop-culture, I’d best describe myself as the personification of bubbling soda. The perfectionist in me is convinced that the perfect cup of cappuccino is a myth.

Some bonds are for life!

Image via @indiaphotoconcept

"By - @vanshvirmani

Shot a special Mother’s Day story with @tatacliq along with @by.the.gram @jahnvibansal which is finally out.

Dr Gita Prakash runs her own home clinic, and doesn't always find time for a social life. That is, unless she gets a call from her friend of 15 years, Kamayni.

To the world, Gita and Kamayini are an inseparable pair of close friends. But the unconventionally unconditional bond they share is more like that of a mother and daughter.

From shopping to dinner to enjoying a cup of tea, they do almost
everything together, no matter how mundane, simply because they enjoy each other's company that much.

There's a sense of ease they share with each other that makes every moment and conversation free-flowing, fun and genuine."

We all know her as the IG queen who posts amazing reels with her MIL, but today @reddysameera has a special message for her fans!

In her latest IG post she said, “Even though mental illnesses can’t be seen, they exist . Mental health awareness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior such as Depression, anxiety , bipolar disorder, PPD etc . For me Postpartum stress was hard and i did not act fast enough because I was unaware it existed . The pics I shared in this post was me at my lowest❤️‍🩹. I couldn’t feel happy however hard I tried after the birth of my first child . I still reflect on these moments and it only drives me harder to reach out to anyone not feeling good about themselves ❤️ You are not alone . And being there for each other in tough times is so important. 
What can we do to help ourselves & others ?
- Take care of yourself & be aware of your 
emotional Health. 
- Listen without judgement 
- Share your story 
- Create a community that supports a safe space for healthy conversations 
- Getting 8 hours of sleep per night.
- Less screen time 
- Spend quiet time to reflect on what’s bothering you . 
- being mindful of what you eat 
- Exercising for 30-minutes.
- Journal your thoughts . 
- Saying no to something you don’t want to do.
- Decluttering your space 
- Learning a new skill 
- reach out to a friend , family or seek professional 
. Try holistic approach with natural therapy ( I believe homeopathy really helped me ) 🙏🏼
