20 Superfoods For People Over 40

16. Quinoa

Quinoa is probably something you’d expect to see on the menu of a new-age health-conscious, vegan, gluten-free restaurant. But it’s actually a superfood that everyone over the age of 40 should be eating more of. Quinoa is gluten-free, and therefore suitable for those with gluten allergies. It is a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Furthermore, it contains vitamin B2, magnesium, manganese, iron, phosphorus, copper, and an essential amino acid l-lysine. All of these contribute to various avenues like bone health, cardiovascular health, weight loss. It even aids in the prevention of illnesses like diabetes and cancer.
