Our alternative to superfudes: 6 useful analogues
We call six simple Ukrainian superfaces that are in each of us in the refrigerator.
Food that is able to treat - so global nutritionists described the superfaces that appeared on stores shelves several years ago. Their popularity was crazy: Only in 2014, 60% of Britons admitted that most often among the products in the store bought the one that had a "superfud" mark. Then a certain fate of marketing has played by manufacturers and suppliers of useful global novelties.
Superfaces such as Chia seeds, algae spirulina and unusual assay berries - really contain valuable substances. These are vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that output toxins, improve the condition of the skin, reduce body weight and provide sense of lightness after use. However, over time, it became known that most of these exotic products have similar Ukrainian counterparts that are not inferior to their value for the human body. We call six simple Ukrainian superfaces that are in each of us in the refrigerator.
Berries Goji - Cranberry
Goji berries came to us, becoming famous thanks to the Tibetan legend of a man who lived over 250 years. By history - he used them every day: for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a large number of antioxidants that activate the protective function of the body, and therefore can continue life. Similar properties also have a well acquainted cranberry - a berry that is capable of strengthening immunity, reduce cholesterol levels and has a necessary portion of potassium and iron. The universality of cranberries in cooking - even more pleasant: berry can be added in baked pies or to make piquant sauces that perfectly taste with meat.
Chia seeds - flax seeds
Tiny Grain Chia are considered to be a source of fiber and omega 3. They reduce blood sugar levels and contain boron that strengthens bones. In addition, the use of Chia protects the body from aging and the development of oncology, which uniquely increases the commitment to it. The only minus that has chia - a crazy value. Ukrainian dietitians managed to find an absolute analogue - flax, which is then cheaper than popular black seeds and has similar useful properties.
Spirulina - Greenery
The green strip with spirulina is the main character of morning posts in Instagram when it comes to vegetable healthy eating. Chlorophyll contained in it reduces blood acidity, which means that any fungi, bacteria and cancer cells have no chance for developing in the body. In addition, Spirulina is 70% consists of a protein, and this is a good news for those who are engaged in sports. However, other greens, including spinach, celery, sorrel, green onion, and even nettle, has completely similar properties. Try to add them to your diet and will soon feel how the digestion and state of the skin have improved.
Asai Berries - Lochin and Bilberry

Blood disease, diabetes mellitus, problems with vision or intestine - is a small, but an important list that may easier to overcome the body if these berries will take.
Sprouted rides - mature products
A great popularity of their time gained sprouting and micrograms. Someone advised how to grow them better on his own balcony, and some - just bought already ready in special shops with useful food. This is not surprising, because the growth has 100 times more useful substances than a mature product. However, using a mature product, you get a larger amount of fiber and a completely different taste, as opposed to green rostocks. Ukrainian dietitians advise to pay attention to beets, pumpkin and radish - another underestimated Ukrainian superfud. All this can be baked, cook and eat raw, getting an incredible amount of useful vitamins and minerals.
Cinema - buckwheat.
Many protein and gluten zero - for this we were so fell in love with the movies, putting it on the pedestal of cereals. It is ideal for hypertension, diabetics and for those who want to get rid of excess weight. And anyone who did not say, but an absolute analogue of the cinema is our native and well acquainted childhood buckwheat. It also has a lot of protein, phosphorus, vitamins and organic acids. Most doctors call it a healing porridge, and this compliment is completely deserved.
