Breathe in breathe out.
I don't know if it's thanks to the acai or its captivating colour, but one sip of this and I'm instantly catapulted to Copacabana beach!
Native to the Amazon region, amazing acai berries are jam-packed with antioxidants - actually more than any other food on the planet, including red wine, blueberries and dark chocolate.Its superhero compound is anthocyanin, which is renowned for its protective, anti-ageing benefits. Naturally low in sugars and calories, acai is rich in healthy fats, fibre, cholesterol-fighting phytosterols and amino acids.
Blueberries are the ultimate anti-ageing super food. They're loaded with polyphenol antioxidants called flavonoids, which boost the skin's elasticity. They also protect against UV damage. These same antioxidants also seem to benefit your brain by protecting the neurons and delaying mental decline.
In ancient Ayurvedic medicine, ginger is known as the “universal remedy.” It is used for its anti-microbial and anti-viral properties but it also stimulates the digestive and immune system. It has a high content of antioxidant, chromium, magnesium and zinc, which improve blood circulation and absorption of essential nutrients by the body.
Brain-shaped walnuts turn out to be one of the best brain food. They contain more omega-3 ALA than any other nut. This essential fatty acid lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, reduces inflammation and prevents cardiovascular diseases. Walnuts are also a great source of antioxidants and contain numerous compounds (melatonin, serotonin, magnesium) that can help you to relax and sleep better.
