WELCOME TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF SUPERFOODS. Not all foods are created equal. Certain foods have been given the title ‘super’ for their ability to fi ght disease, immune disorders and the signs of skin ageing. Here are some of the new kids on the superfood block – plus the foods that have earned cult health status. Chia seeDs These tiny but mighty edible seeds, which date back to Mayan and Aztec cultures, are an excellent source of fi bre (three times more than oatmeal), protein, calcium, antioxidants and omega-3s. In fact, chia is the richest plant source of omega-3 oil, which is said to help lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure and fi ght against infl ammation in the body. Chia can also help stabilise blood sugar levels and even help target pesky belly fat! The seeds can be soaked in liquid or sprinkled onto just about every meal to add a nutritious mildly nutty taste. kale This nutritional powerhouse has become a household name over the past few years – and it’s no wonder. With more iron than beef per calorie, kale contains nine essential amino acids, as well as high levels of magnesium and oxygen-rich chlorophyll. It’s the ultimate detox food as it’s also rich in fi bre and sulphur, lowers cholesterol and is rich in antioxidant and anti-infl ammatory properties to help ward off several types of cancer. Rich in Vitamins A, C and K, kale also does wonders for glowing, clear skin. PistaChios Move over walnuts, there’s a new nut rising up the nutrition leaderboard. So why are pistachios said to be superior to their nutty counterparts? To start, they contain fewer calories and more potassium and Vitamin K per serving than other nuts. Pistachios contain two carotenoids not found in most nuts – lutein and zeaxanthin – which are essential for eye health and defending tissues from free radicals. They are also a great source of Vitamins A, B6 and E, essential for healthy, smooth and beautiful skin, and are rich in phytoserols and soluble fi bre, two plant compounds that can lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. CaCao Consumed raw, with all enzymes and goodness left in its unheated glory, cacao has more antioxidants than chocolate, red wine and blueberries combined! It is choc-full with nutrients and incredibly high in iron. It also helps to raise endorphins and boost our serotonin levels. Add it in powdered form to a smoothie or sprinkle some over oats to add a delicious (and nutritious) chocolate fl avour to your morning porridge. aCai Pronounced ah-sigh-EE, studies have shown this Amazonian berry is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Resplendent in amino acids, antioxidants, fi bre, phytosterols and omega-3 fatty acids, it also has powerful cancer-fi ghting properties, is a stem cell producer and assists with weight loss. kelP Essentially mineral-rich seaweed and packed with high levels of demulcent fi bre, kelp can actually help heal the digestive tract and is one of the best natural sources of iodine, which promotes thyroid and endocrine function. It also helps boost the immunity system and even improve memory. Pomegranate These Middle Eastern jewel-like seeds have earned their place as a superfood due to their high levels of polyphenols, powerful cancer-fi ghting and heart-healthy antioxidants. It is said that pomegranate seeds have more antioxidant power than cranberry juice or green tea. Pomegranate is rich in Vitamins A, C and E, and in iron, which helps the blood maintain an effective supply of oxygen to the body. Quinoa This supergrain, pronounced KEENwah, contains more protein than any other grain and is super-charged with iron, potassium and all nine essential amino acids while being naturally gluten-free. A cup of quinoa delivers fi ve grams of fi bre and aids in improving digestion, lowering cholesterol and promoting healthy blood sugar levels. Oh, and it’s great at keeping excess kilos at bay. These days, you’ll fi nd it adorning many a cafe and restaurant menu, but you can easily create a delicious quinoa-inspired meal at home, too. Add to salads, soups or try it as an alternative to rice. www.cosbeauty.com.au 65
