28. Quinoa
A few years back, someone invented the term “superfood” to encourage us to consume healthier food products, and it worked – people like having the tag “superfood” on what they eat, and it is a great way of making people maintain a healthier diet. Quinoa is one of those super foods, thanks to its many nutritious benefits, such as its high amounts of protein and fiber.
We keep hearing how protein and fiber are good for us, but most of us don’t really know why. Well, protein and fiber are two essential nutrients since they help our bodies to grow and provide us with energy. That’s why often athletes consume a lot of protein-based powders, liquids and other natural as well as artificial sources of protein. Quinoa is a great natural source for protein and other nutrients, and so it’s recommended for athletes and everyone else.
