Did You Know?
A superfood is a type of food that is packed full of nutrients and offers a wide range of health benefits. For example, almonds are a rich source of fibre, protein, healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients play critical roles in many bodily functions, such as energy production, cell growth and immune function. Many superfoods are plant-based like broccoli, avocados and chia seeds.
