Forget the myths about superfoods! Nutritionist Prof. Dr. Momčilo Matić shatters illusions about blueberries, cocoa, and moringa, often hailed as miracle foods. The truth? No single food can meet all our body’s nutritional needs. Yes, cocoa is a superfood, but it also has its downsides!
Summer is the time when our bodies crave light, refreshing food. Fruits packed with water and fiber, leafy green vegetables, nuts, and a bit of animal protein are the perfect picks. And don’t forget — water is the king of summer! Without it, there’s no energy or health.
But health isn’t just about food. Sleep, exercise, emotional balance, and genetics all weave together the mosaic of good health. So don’t fool yourself into thinking one food or magic supplement will save your body.
Dr. Matić warns it’s crucial to get the most out of a varied and healthy diet because every food has its pros and cons. Listening to your body and adjusting your diet to the season and your personal needs is key.
If you thought superfoods were just a trend, think again. But don’t fall for marketing tricks — real superfood is what truly helps you, not what just fills producers’ pockets.
Now, as you enjoy these summer days, take a look at your plate and ask yourself: are you eating for health or for Instagram? And if you have your own summer diet hacks, share them in the comments — maybe you’ll discover the next superfood for all of us!
