We’ve all heard of the word superfood – but rather than your carrot with a superman cape on, the term superfood simply means foods that are rich in nutrients and are particularly beneficial to our health and wellbeing.

Here are five superfoods you need in your life:

Eggs
Eggs are a great source of protein, iron, zinc, vitamins and amino acids and they aren’t particularly expensive to pick up.

Garlic
Not particularly good if you are planning on locking lips, garlic is jam-packed with bioactive compounds great for maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol.

Berries
Even if they weren’t a superfood we’d be munching on these anyway. They are full of dietary fibres, are low in sugar, and are full of anti-oxidants.

Dark chocolate
We couldn’t compile a list of good foods without mentioning chocolate. Now we’re not talking about the milk version, but dark chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa content is full of anti-oxidants and is lower in fat than the milk version.

Goji berries
Great for protecting the liver and improving eyesight, goji berries are anti-inflammatory and taste great in smoothies.

This wedding crasher made an entrance to remember on a bride and groom’s big day.

The giant sea turtle showed up at the beach wedding in the middle of the ceremony taking some, if not all of, the attention away from the bride!

But this wasn’t just any old sea turtle.

She’s a leatherback – the largest living breed of turtles on earth!

The guests at the wedding, on the US Virgin Island of St Croix, witnessed a super cool moment, when the turtle laid her eggs!

Can you imagine the size of the babies!

Most people have a negative knee-jerk reaction to the word ‘fat’. But good-for-you fats promote heart health, keep us feeling full and satisfied and may even help ward off cognitive decline.

Here are a few healthy high-fat foods to get onto your plate pronto:

Avocados
With the nickname ‘butter pear’, it’s no secret avocados are high in far. But most of the fat in an avocado is monounsaturated, the heart-healthy kind that actually lowers bad cholesterol. Try replacing butter or cream cheese with avocado spread, or replace the mayo on your sandwich with avocado slices.

Eggs
People often think egg whites are a healthier option than whole eggs because they contain less fat, and while it’s true that the egg yolk contains some fat, it’s also packed with important nutrients. One whole egg contains 5 grams of fat, but only 1.5 grams are saturated.

Olive Oil
Olive oil is commonly used in the Mediterranean diet and we’ve all heard that olive oil reduces the risk of heart disease, blood pressure and certain types of cancer. However, it still packs 100 calories per tablespoon, so moderation is important if you’re watching your weight!

Nuts
Your best bet for nutrition are almonds, walnuts and pistachios. Almonds are the richest in vitamin E; walnuts contain a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid; and pistachios have all the things that are super important for eye health. Research shows nut eaters are generally thinner, less likely to develop type 2 diabetes and have a reduced risk of heart disease to boot.

Fatty Fish
Oily fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout are full of good fats, unlike the bad saturated fat you find in most meats.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but it can be hard to keep it fun and varied, especially on weekdays!

Here are some fun, tasty and healthy ways you can enjoy breakfast and keep it interesting.

1. Avocado on toast
So simple – an avocado + bread = avocado toast! So tasty and nutritious.

2. Homemade Granola
Granola has a bad rep because of sugar and oil content but if YOU make it then YOU can control what you put in.

3. Healthy Pancakes
Pancakes? Who said pancakes? You won’t believe how easy these are – or how healthy!

4. Chia Seed Pudding
Ok so the texture is a little funny but it is packed with nutrients and goodness. To make just cover some chia seeds with almond milk or coconut milk. Fridge overnight. Add fruit and honey.

5. Baked egg in avocado
Just break an egg into a partially hollowed avocado and bake in the oven until the egg sets.
