Spirulina

If you’re wondering why spirulina suddenly rose to fame recently, then we can explain its health benefits. One tablespoon of its powdered form can help you a lot as this small amount already contains iron, copper, potassium, magnesium, vitamins B1, B2, and B3, as well as 4 grams of protein. As if that’s not impressive enough, it also has a lot of omega-6, omega-3, and antioxidants. All these nutrients help in reducing the level of LDL cholesterol in the body and decreasing blood pressure.

Cucumber

Cucumber is a low-calorie vegetable that goes well with salad, and other dishes – but you can also have it as a stand-alone snack. Despite the fact that 96% of this superfood is water, it can still be a great source of protein, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins C and K. All these vitamins and minerals work together in keeping the body healthy. Cucumber is also good for the heart as it contains a lot of antioxidants.
