6 things you should be snacking on

Leave the ‘healthy’ baked crisps and yoghurt-coated raisins on the shelf, these are the 6 things you should be snacking on.

It’s a trend that’s taken us health-conscious folk by storm…and rightly so! Being superfood-savvy reaps countless benefits for our bodies and equips our insides with all the essential vitamins we need to run smoothly.

Loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, superfoods help your immune system and can boost energy levels, making them great to include as part of a nutritious balanced diet. Though there is no real medical definition of what a superfood is, it’s basically a food that’s chock-a-block with nutrients.

Here at WHL HQ ,we love our superfoods so we thought we’d give you some food for thought and share our office faves.
