Indian Superfoods: Include These 5 Superfoods to Improve Your Health

Indian foods can be superfoods too. Whenever we hear the term 'superfoods,' we think of exotic, foreign things like kale, broccoli, etc. Due to lack of awareness about Indian foods, or maybe we associate 'cool' with only imported and foreign things, we usually overlook the high nutrition content and merits of Indian foods.

However, a glance at the average Indian meal will tell you that Indian foods that are common in our country have also gained overwhelming popularity worldwide as superfoods.

Nuts are a rich source of minerals, amino acids (proteins), fiber, and vitamins and are very helpful in restoring bone health. To eat healthily, include nuts in your daily diet.
