Berries, such as blueberries and strawberries, are the number one fruit. They are good for your
heart and for your memory. They also fight illnesses such as cancer. For Vitamin C
consumption, have an orange every day.

Some vegetables are super food. Broccoli is a good example. It´s high in vitamin C and it fights
cancer. Carrots are rich in vitamin A and this vitamin is good for your skin. Eat garlic often
because it´s a natural medicine. It is important to eat plenty of nuts because they are good for
your memory. Oil fish, such as salmon and sardines, is very good for your heart. Olive oil is also
good for it.

Lastly, are there any super drinks? Well, green tea is certainly one. A nice cup of green tea after
your meal is good for your health and it can protect you from illnesses. Finally, don´t forget to
drink a lot of water. It doesn´t have any vitamins or it doesn´t give you any energy, but it´s very
