Tea: recently green tea has received much press as a superfood for lowering cholesterol and inhibiting cancer. Green tea also has antioxidant which has been found to lower cholesterol levels and keep them lower in individuals who drank a cup of tea a day.
Calcium: you know that calcium helps build strong bones and bodies and helps to prevent osteoporosis but other studies have shown that calcium also helps to improve weight loss. Calcium is found in dairy products such as milk and cheese or can be taken as a supplement.

You may have noticed that these “super foods” are nothing new or unusual. Instead these are foods which researchers and doctors have been telling us for years to include in our diet to improve our overall health. Just remember that health is not a sprint but rather a long distance run or marathon. You must eat good foods every day to maintain your health over the coming years and you won’t change your health by increasing the amount of super foods you eat on a daily basis for just one week.
