Here are six nutritious essentials you should be adding to your diet today.





🥬 1. Spinach – Iron-Rich and Energy Boosting



Spinach is loaded with iron, which helps oxygen move through your body. It also contains magnesium and vitamins A and C. A study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences confirms spinach’s ability to fight inflammation and support heart health.


Try it in: Efo riro, light soups, or morning smoothies.





🍍 2. Pineapple – Your Tropical Immune Support



This juicy fruit contains bromelain, a powerful enzyme that supports digestion and fights inflammation. It’s also a great source of vitamin C, helping you fight off infections and support glowing skin.


Use it in: Fruit salads, juices, or grilled alongside meats.





🥕 3. Carrots – For Eye and Skin Health



Rich in beta-carotene, carrots promote good vision and skin rejuvenation. Research shows regular carrot intake can support immune function and reduce oxidative stress.


Serve them: Roasted, grated in salads, or blended into stews.





🍌 4. Bananas – Perfect Natural Energy



Bananas are full of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and muscle contractions. They’re also a quick source of natural carbs and vitamin B6, which supports brain function.


Enjoy them: On their own, in porridge, or as a smoothie base.





🍠 5. Sweet Potatoes – Fibre-Packed Superfood



Sweet potatoes are rich in fibre and antioxidants, which promote gut health and regulate blood sugar. A Nutrition Journal study suggests they can even improve insulin sensitivity.


Eat them: Baked, mashed, or turned into nutritious fries.





🥑 6. Avocados – Healthy Fats for a Healthy Heart



Avocados contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat known to reduce inflammation. They’re also high in potassium, fibre, and vitamin K.
