Detox and boost your immune system by finding out what superfoods can do for you, then try some of our delicious superfood recipes

What are superfoods?
Most foods have things in them that are good for your body, but some fruit and vegetables have extra nutritional powers, which is why we call them 'superfoods'. These nutritional powers may be extra vitamins, or properties that can help prevent and fight illness.

Why do I need superfoods?
All superfoods are good for your health, so they're really worth adding to your meals as part of a balanced diet. They can help give your skin a healthy glow, detoxify the liver (great if you've overdone it over the weekend), increase your brain power, reduce aggression, lift your mood, boost your libido and immunity to illness as well as reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers. The even better news is that all the superfood fruit and vegetables here can be found in your local supermarket. We've put together lots of quick and easy recipes so you can add them to your diet easily.

Here's our top 10 of the best superfoods, what they could do for you and a selection of recipes for each type
