The Healthiest Foods On The Planet
Superfoods aren't just given that title for no reason; these foods, whether they're fruits or vegetables, are so good for your body, it's hard to call them anything but super! To find out more about what you should be eating more regularly, here are five examples of amazing superfoods that can do you no wrong.
H1. Avocados
Your favorite toast spread and social media-friendly fruit is also a superfood! This amazing nutrient-dense fruit doesn't just taste good, but it's also high in lots of healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants. All of these work together to help improve heart, eye, and skin health, reduce inflammation within the body, and so much more.
2. Blueberries
Blueberries are a delicious berry that taste good on their own, in pies, in tarts, in smoothies, and so many other forms, that it's hard to imagine they're so healthy, too. Packed full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other important compounds that help with diabetes control, digestive health, and brain and heart health, this is one easy snack and dessert to incorporate into your diet.

3. Eggs
Despite all the drama surrounding eggs and their cholesterol levels, eggs are still considered superfoods thanks to how nutrient dense they are. They carry so much protein, antioxidant, and omega-3 content that it's hard not to appreciate what they do for the body! Great for boosting muscle growth, helping with weight management, and more, they make for a healthy addition to your diet in moderation.

4. Broccoli
Although broccoli doesn't often land in people's list of top favorite vegetables, maybe it would if people knew how healthy it was. This super vegetable isn't just low in calories, it comes loaded with vitamins (like vitamins C and K), anti-cancer nutrients, fiber, and anti-inflammatories. This tree-like veggie can help with anything from reducing your risk of chronic diseases, boosting your immune system, and much more.
5. Garlic
Although garlic is more often seen as a flavor booster rather than a food you eat on its own, it's one of the most powerful superfoods around. It carries a variety of vitamins and minerals, has plenty of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, but most important, contains a compound called allicin which is studied to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce oxidative stress.
