GREEN UP YOUR DIET<br />
A GREAT WAY TO KEEP ON TOP OF YOUR<br />
HEALTH IS TO LOOK AT WHAT YOU EAT<br />
AND DRINK AND SUPERFOODS ARE A<br />
TREMENDOUS START.<br />
So what are ‘superfoods’ and what<br />
makes them so superior <strong>to</strong> others<br />
and what’s trending in 2015?<br />
‘Superfoods’ are healthy foods<br />
that are low in calories and<br />
high in nutrients. They pack a<br />
lot of punch for their weight<br />
and are excellent sources of<br />
antioxidants needed by your<br />
body. While some superfoods<br />
cleanse and de<strong>to</strong>xify the body,<br />
others encourage a healthy<br />
digestive system.<br />
Matcha Green Tea<br />
Many of us now know that green tea is<br />
<strong>go</strong>od for us due <strong>to</strong> its antioxidant qualities.<br />
However beyond the realm of regular green<br />
tea, lies an incredible superfood known as<br />
matcha green tea (pronounced MA-cha). It’s<br />
a powerful superfood and contains over six<br />
times the antioxidants in <strong>go</strong>ji berries, seven<br />
times the antioxidants in dark chocolate, 17<br />
times more antioxidants than blueberries<br />
and 60 times the antioxidants found in<br />
spinach. And that’s just in one teaspoon!<br />
