We have found and present you the 7 super-foods of winter that should hold a prominent place in your kitchen all year round!

Black chocolate

It is one of the best sources of antioxidants, ferrum, magnesium and zinc, an element essential for a strong immune system. Do not think milk chocolate will have the same results, as the cocoa percentage is the one that makes the difference.

Broccoli

You may not even want to see it, but you might change your mind if you learn that a daily portion of broccoli offers more vitamin C from the daily recommended dose, along with vitamins A, D, B6, K, iron, calcium and potassium while at the same time, broccoli helps in the body’s detoxification.

Kinoa

Its magical seeds are full of amino acids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber, potassium and ferrum. Moreover, there a plenty ways to cook it, so you can be eat it from breakfast to dinner.

Avocado

Not only benefits your heart, but the whole body from its fiber, its antioxidant properties and its healthy fat. According to research, avocados have anticancer effect, while it helps in dropping cholesterol and blood pressure.

Carrots

It is a beta-carotene “bank” that our body turns into vitamin A. According to experts, vitamin A is a key element in the effective functioning of our immune system, especially in winter, protecting us from viruses and respiratory problems.

Beetroot

It is rich in antioxidants that enhance the immune system’s function. Do not throw away green leaves, as they are rich sources of vitamin C, beta-carotene, calcium and ferrum.

Pomegranate

Where to start? Pomegranates are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids and antioxidant tannins, while they also offer folic acid, potassium and vitamins E and B6. Their high potassium content makes them important for a healthy body that is always in need of the usually deficient potassium.
