3 superfoods to help boost your immune system.

Morning beautiful people! I bring you this list over a fine chilled glass of roselle juice aka 'Sobolo' with extra ginger.😉 (need a whole post on that!)
Let's start with what superfoods are?! They are simply foods with a higher content of vitamins, minerals and also antioxidants (nutrient-dense) important for your overall health and wellbeing.
Now to my list:
🌿Ginger: some common benefits to the body are that it helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain and reduce nausea. It also adds the perfect kick to both sweet and savory food or drinks. Like I mentioned in my intro, ginger is great in hot and cold drinks (and as it's own drink too), sauces/stews and more.
I add a good dose to my pepper sauces like 'shitor' and 'mako' when sitting with some hot kenkey/ fried yam and fresh grilled fish (Is it lunch yet???)😋
🌿🌿Garlic: In most countries around the world, garlic is a star player in enhancing the flavor of meals. However,  did you know it also has many other medicinal benefits to the body?  For instance with regular consumption  research shows it can be good for high cholestrol and blood pressure. It also has antioxidants especially necessary during cold and flu season.🤧
🌿🌿🌿Moringa: is widely used for its leaves and seeds as veggies and traditional medicine purposes. If the plant is not accessible to you , you can also find it as supplements in powder/capsule form.
Moringa is mega rich in vitamins and minerals like B vitamins (which are neccessary for energy production, improving mood, brain health and more), vitamin C, Proteins, vitamin A, iron, Riboflavin, Magnesium and the list goes on. It also has antioxidants that protect against free radicals and may lower blood sugar levels.
I remember going to the front yard of our home in Tema🇬🇭 and plucking a pod off our moringa tree during breakfast. My mom would have us open the pod and pop a seed into our mouth and chew - my goodness was it ever sour - but the reward came when we'd go to wash it down with a glass of water. It's literally like magic; it turns to sugar!!lol...well not actual sugar...let's just say it's the sweetest surprise.😊
What's your favorite superfood?
