9 Common Superfoods
Blueberries
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, which can help prevent aging and reduce the risk of cancer. Blueberries are great for your eyes; they are used to prevent cataracts and glaucoma, as well as to treat ulcers, UTIs, multiple sclerosis, and chronic fatigue. Another thing these super-berries are great for is increasing blood circulation.
Blueberries are good for your:
Eyes, Skin, Intestines, Tummy.
Broccoli
Broccoli is great and great for you. It is chock full of vitamins (A and C), antioxidants, folic acid, and fiber. It helps reduce the risk of cataracts, heart disease and cancer. Broccoli even helps lower your cholesterol. It is also a great source of calcium (so put down the milk!)
Lungs, Liver, Intestines.
Green Tea
If you drink green tea regularly it has the power to increase your metabolism, lower cholesterol, and prevent diabetes. It can even help prevent stroke. Green tea has lots of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory activities, so it helps reduce your risk of skin, breast, lung, colon and bladder cancer.

Salmon
We know fish is brain food, but it is so much more. People who are heart smart know that eating fatty fish is great for your diet. The high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in fish reduce your blood pressure and risk of developing blood clots. In people who have already had heart attacks, omega-3 fatty acids reduces the risk of arrhythmia, ultimately reducing the risk of death from heart problems.
Eyes, Heart, Lungs.

Avocados are full of vitamins (A,B,C,E, and K) as well as fiber and folic acid. They are a great natural way to promote a healthy heart, control your blood pressure, and even prevent birth defects. Full of healthy fats, avocados will also help reduce your risk of heart disease and help you lose weight.

Walnuts, almonds and other nuts are rich in good fats, which lowers bad cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart attack. Vitamin E and L-arginine make sure that walnuts promote healthy blood vessels, reduce the risk of depression, Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes, and breast cancer.
Brain, Liver.

High in nutrients like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, yogurt uses probiotics to promote good bacteria growth, that your body uses to fight infection and protect the immune system. With lots of B vitamins yogurt also helps the digestive system, and the endocrine system, which manages metabolism and tissue function.
