Pick of The Bunch – Superfoods to Keep You Fighting Fit

1. Blueberries

These wonder-berries are packed full of antioxidants and phytoflavinoids, and high in potassium and vitamin C. As well as being anti-inflammatory, they can even lower your risk of heart disease and cancer. These are a year-round option for those who want to embark on a healthier diet as they are just as good frozen. 

2. Chia Seeds

These little members of the mint family were once worshipped by the Aztecs as the food of the Gods. The small seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, minerals and antioxidants. They expand when mixed with liquid, making dieters feel fuller, and are great for boosting your immune system. Can be added to pretty much anything - but try them sprinkled over a salad.

3. Coconut Water

Young coconuts are one of the highest sources of electrolytes it's possible to find in nature. Electrolytes transport energy throughout the body, so coconut water is a great alternative to sugar-laden energy drinks. With a high postassium and mineral content and no fat, it's a refreshing choice for your health-kick. 

4. Dark Chocolate

Talk about ending on a high note! But it's true. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and can even help to lower your blood pressure. Look for chocolate with 60% or higher cocoa content, the darker it is the better - and remember that the darker it is the lower in fat and sugar it's likely to be also. So tuck in for some guilt-free pleasure.
