Even though health stores are filled with neatly packaged exotic superfoods with a premium price tag, there are still plenty of foods anyone can afford that are just as amazing. Let\u2019s take a closer look at five of them.<\/strong><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Superfoods don\u2019t need to have a foreign-sounding name to pack a punch, and eggs are a great example of that. They are filled with micro-nutrients, like vitamins A, B2, B5, B12, iron, phosphorus, selenium, and they are one of the best sources of choline, which is very important for brain health. They also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that have been shown to protect against eye diseases. On top of that, they are protein-rich, which makes them very filling. Studies have shown that eating eggs as opposed to bagels for breakfast can substantially help with weight loss.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-ys-post-pinup\"><article class=\"loop-simple post-146707 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-health-and-training tag-baked-egg-avocado-boats tag-cycling-food tag-eat-to-ride tag-nutrition\" data-postid=\"146707\" role=\"article\" data-post-id=\"146707\" data-word-count=\"320\" data-headline-length=\"39\" data-category=\"Health &amp; Training\" data-author=\"Jiri Kaloc\" data-published=\"2017-02-14T08:51:25+00:00\" data-published-day=\"Tuesday\">\n    <div class=\"entry-thumbnail article-thumbnail\" content=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/02\/132233_32322323-150x150.webp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2017\/02\/14\/macronutrients-baked-egg-avocado-boats\/\" class=\"image-holder\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/02\/132233_32322323.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/02\/132233_32322323.webp 900w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/02\/132233_32322323-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/02\/132233_32322323-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/02\/132233_32322323-272x182.webp 272w\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 300px, (min-width: 768px) 25vw, 100vw\" alt=\"macronutrients-baked-egg-avocado-boats\"\/><\/a><\/div>    <div class=\"entry-meta\">\n        <a class=\"label label-secondary post-category\" href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/category\/health-and-training\/\" title=\"Health &amp; Training\">Health &amp; Training<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"entry-details\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2017\/02\/14\/macronutrients-baked-egg-avocado-boats\/\" class='entry-title-wrapper'>\n            <h3 class=\"entry-title\"><span>Macronutrients: Baked Egg Avocado Boats<\/span><\/h3>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Liver<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Liver is probably the most underappreciated superfood on the planet. This organ, regardless of whether it comes from a cow, a pig, or a chicken, is the best natural multi-vitamin you can find. A 100 g portion of beef liver contains: 6x RDA for vitamin A, 2x RDA for riboflavin (B2), 12x RDA for vitamin B12, 7x RDA for copper, massive amounts of folate, B3, B5, B6, and the list goes on. Having liver once a week or two does a lot to prevent nutritional deficiencies and strengthen overall health. And the funny thing is, it\u2019s usually the cheapest cut of meat at the store.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BmD62HGlDeT\/?hl=cs&#038;tagged=garlic<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Garlic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Garlic lends its unique flavour to a lot of popular dishes, but it\u2019s so much more than just a spice. Garlic consumption has been shown to improve blood pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol, markers of cardiovascular health. A few studies theorized that it could also lower the risk of stroke because it reduces platelet aggregation. High amounts of allicin make garlic one of the best natural antibiotics; it\u2019s very effective at killing bacteria and fungi. Studies also show that all of the beneficial effects are present whether you consume garlic fresh, as a powder, or an extract.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-ys-post-pinup\"><article class=\"loop-simple post-160000 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-health-and-training tag-nutrition\" data-postid=\"160000\" role=\"article\" data-post-id=\"160000\" data-word-count=\"423\" data-headline-length=\"45\" data-category=\"Health &amp; Training\" data-author=\"Jiri Kaloc\" data-published=\"2017-07-13T07:03:39+00:00\" data-published-day=\"Thursday\">\n    <div class=\"entry-thumbnail article-thumbnail\" content=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg-150x150.webp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2017\/07\/13\/will-beetroot-juice-enhance-performance\/\" class=\"image-holder\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg-1024x682.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg.webp 1178w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/07\/profimedia-0160181391jpg-272x182.webp 272w\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 300px, (min-width: 768px) 25vw, 100vw\" alt=\"will-beetroot-juice-enhance-performance\"\/><\/a><\/div>    <div class=\"entry-meta\">\n        <a class=\"label label-secondary post-category\" href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/category\/health-and-training\/\" title=\"Health &amp; Training\">Health &amp; Training<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"entry-details\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2017\/07\/13\/will-beetroot-juice-enhance-performance\/\" class='entry-title-wrapper'>\n            <h3 class=\"entry-title\"><span>Will Beetroot Juice Enhance Your Performance?<\/span><\/h3>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Beets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All colourful veggies are very nutritious, but beets have some of the highest concentrations of betalains, the pigment that gives them such rich colours. Studies suggest betalains might help protect against cancer and other degenerative diseases. Beets are also a great source of vitamins A, B, and C, which boost immunity, and soluble fibre that helps digestion. They are usually available year round and don\u2019t cost much at all.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ginger<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ginger has traditionally been attributed various healing effects, and science suggests that many of them might be real. Studies showed that 0.5 &#8211; 1 g of ginger helps reduce nausea and vomiting caused by morning sickness and chemotherapy. If you want to try ginger for motion sickness, have it in combination with a high-protein meal, that\u2019s when it\u2019s most effective. Ginger inhibits enzymes involved in inflammation, so its consumption can help reduce muscle soreness and even arthritis symptoms. Research also suggests that antioxidants in ginger might be able to slow down cancer growth. And it\u2019s so cheap it\u2019s almost a crime not to include it in your diet!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superfoods are full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they can help prevent diseases, and best of all, they don\u2019t have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":170234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[332],"tags":[2252,2254,2251,2253,889,2250],"global-categories":[],"class_list":["post-170231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-and-training","tag-beets","tag-eggs","tag-garlic","tag-ginger","tag-liver","tag-superfoods"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Top 5 Cheap Superfoods You Should Try - \u0160koda We Love Cycling<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Superfoods are full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they can help prevent diseases, and best of all, they don\u2019t have to cost a fortune.
