Top 10 Superfoods to Add to Your Diet
1. Blueberries
Out of all the berries, blueberries always come out on top as the best superfood. Rich in both vitamins and fibre, this little berry is packed with anthocyanin, which is a type of flavonoid that provides essential antioxidants to help protect against free radicals that contribute to ageing skin. Berries are a great superfood for adding to your morning oats or to smoothies and are just as delicious to consume on their own.
