5. Cilantro
Cilantro is a herb worthy of the superfood title. Studies have shown that cilantro consumption could accelerate the removal of heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, and lead.
And since the accumulation of heavy metals in the body could easily lead to hormonal imbalances, neurological conditions, heart disease, and infertility, it would be a good idea to use this herb when cooking your favorite meals.
Another thing that makes cilantro a superfood is the fact that it protects against oxidative stress due to its abundant amount of antioxidants. Cilantro seems to be good for diabetics, too. A study published in the Journal of Food Sciences found that cilantro can balance blood sugar.
