Superfood Diet-A Great Way To A Healthy New You

Nature has provided us with some fantastic opportunities to eat our way to health using the superfood diet . Fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts, seafood, meat and dairy food are all packed with nutrients - vitamins, minerals and enzymes that are beneficial to us. So, eating a superfood diet should be easy right? Let's take a few examples:

Potatoes
A brilliant, healthy, high fibre, low calorie food - but not if you fry them or add lots of butter and cream.
TIP - try alternatives to frying such as making your own skin on, (they're even better for you that way), oven fries with only a dribble of oil. Or add cottage cheese or beans to baked potatoes.

Yoghurt
A fermented dairy product that's a good source of calcium and vitamins. Lots of people who find the lactose in milk difficult to digest can find the same nutrients in yoghurt.
TIP - try yoghurt with live bacteria, it's even better for you. Add your own fresh fruit to plain yoghurt rather than buying it ready made to give you a double helping of goodness in your superfood diet .

Bananas
A potassium rich, high energy fruit. Eat bananas as a snack instead of chocolate.

Chicken
A good source of protein - but don't eat the skin! Lovely though crispy chicken skin is, it doubles the amount of fat.

Get the idea? These are all commonplace foods that you can find easily, and they are packed with goodness. A superfood diet is not difficult. It doesn't involve hard to find foods, or foods that take a lot of preparation. It's just every day food that is eaten sensibly. That means not frying unless you have to, and if you do, try spraying the pan with oil. Brushing meat and not the pan with oil will also use less. If you use oil, try to use olive oil - a good for you monounsaturated fat.

Experts the modern world over agree that we should be eating five pieces of fruit, vegetables, pulses and nuts a day to keep us healthy. Eating a superfood diet should make this easily achievable as well as making us feel better and more energetic. And another up side is that if we eat more of this good for you superfood and less processed food and sweets we should lose weight too.

A pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 calories. By switching to a fresh superfood diet that doesn't lots of processed food, sweets and fizzy drinks it should be easy to lose weight. Add in some exercise too and you're set up for life!

So, your superfood diet should include fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, pulses and dairy products. It's not difficult food to find, it's everywhere. A superfood diet means eating less take away food and fewer processed foods. Eat fresh whenever you can, and throw in some exercise for good measure, you'll feel so much better for it. You have the rest of your life to look forward to, so make the most of it, starting from today.
