Bentonite Clay – Say goodbye to goji berries, kale chips and sipping on kombucha, because 2016 is set to introduce a new string of SUPERFOODS
Known as having a very high content of certain nutrients, our obsession with including ‘superfoods’ in to our diet has never been so prevalent.
With the main benefits ranging from regulating metabolism, to burning fat, lowering cholesterol and even blood pressure — the call for newer, better, stronger superfoods is in high demand, but are they enough for a balanced diet?
“Where people go wrong is that they think a superfood is the be all and end all — when in reality no food is complete nutrition and won’t provide all the health benefits you need,” nutritionist Dr Joanna McMillan told news.com.au
“Eating rubbish but adding a superfood into your day is still not a healthy diet.”
The link below has details of superfood trends in 2016 but one caught our eye:
BENTONITE CLAY
Praised for its cleansing and detoxifying qualities, Bentonite Clay is highly absorbent, negatively charged and beneficial both internally and externally.
“The clay is composed of ash made from volcanoes, which is harvested mostly in the US, France, and Italy,” Fit Foodie founder, Sally O’Neil said.
“Ancient civilisations have been using this special ingredient for thousands of years as a detoxifying agent. It traps heavy metals, radiations, mycotoxins, bacteria, antigens, reduces inflammation and alkalises the body, making it one of the most powerful detoxing ingredients available.”
