As a dietitian, usually, I’m not too fond of the term superfood. It’s often used as a marketing ploy to make you spend more money on overpriced packaged food.
So, in this video, I will reveal my five favourite accessible foods that I believe are super! If you want to live a longer, healthier and happier life, these five foods will help you get there!

Number 1 – Kiwis
The first food is kiwis, which are an extremely underrated fruit.
They are excellent for constipation and have even been linked to better sleep!
The exciting thing about kiwi fruit is that they’re low in fermentable carbohydrates, otherwise known as FODMAPs. And FODMAPS can worsen symptoms of bloating and diarrhoea in some people. So, kiwis are an excellent choice for people who struggle to eat certain fruits due to these issues.
On the other side of the scale, Kiwis are fantastic at getting things moving if you suffer from constipation. For many clients with a slower gut, two kiwis a day can solve the problem and is often easier to implement than some other constipation advice.
So, regardless of your gut symptoms, kiwis are often an excellent choice for everyone.
They are also high in an enzyme called actinidin, which helps the body digest proteins in meat, gluten, nuts, and legumes, making them the perfect after-dinner snack or dessert to aid digestion.
And my reason for recommending this delicious fruit is that they may also help sleep when eaten before bed. Though completed a little over a decade ago, one small study examined kiwi’s impact on sleep in 24 adults over four weeks. Researchers found that eating two kiwis one hour before bedtime was associated with “significantly” improved overall sleep time, sleep efficiency, and ability to fall asleep more quickly.
My following fun fact is that golden kiwis have three times more vitamin C than an orange – so they are an absolute nutrient powerhouse – and we know vitamin C is essential for immune function, so they are a great thing to add in around now with winter colds and flu lurking.
They are also highly heart-healthy. Because they have soluble fibre, which can help reduce cholesterol levels, and a hefty dose of potassium, which can help with fluid balance and blood pressure. One study found that by eating three kiwis daily, participants exhibited lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure than one apple a day. It might be time to change that age-old expression about an apple a day to a kiwi a day!
Kiwis – Leave The Skin On!
Kiwi skins are edible and very nutrient-rich. They may not look inviting, but they are packed with nutrients and perfectly safe and healthy. Research has shown that eating a whole gold kiwi, including the skin, provides 50 per cent more fibre, 32 per cent more vitamin E, and 34 per cent more folate.
Tip: It may be easier to choose gold kiwifruit over green kiwis since the former have smooth, hairless skin that is more palatable.
So, if you have gut issues, sleep challenges, or you’re simply looking to improve your health, perhaps kiwi fruit is something you may benefit from!
Number 2 – Enjoy Nuts Daily
My next superfood is nuts. Some people avoid eating nuts as they are concerned about the high-calorie content and potential weight gain. However, research suggests that consuming nuts daily can help manage weight and provide other health benefits.
