Goji berries

Goji berries are rich in nutrients and have been called a "superfood" because of their potential health benefits. Some early studies suggest that goji berries may help with:

Immunity : Goji berries contain antioxidants, including vitamin C, zeaxanthin, and carotenoids, which may help fight cancer cells and boost the immune system.
Eye health : Goji berries may help protect against age-related eye diseases.

Skin health : Goji berries contain beta-carotene, which may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and may also have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with acne, eczema, or rosacea.
Weight loss : Goji berries may help promote fat burning and lean muscle production.
Stress : Goji berries are adaptogens, which means they may help the body deal with stress by supporting the adrenal glands

Spirulina

Spirulina is rich in vitamins and minerals, and may have many health benefits, including:

Immune system : Spirulina contains vitamins E, C, and B6, which are important for a healthy immune system. Research suggests that spirulina can increase the production of white blood cells and antibodies that help fight bacteria and viruses.

Blood sugar : Animal research suggests that spirulina may help lower blood sugar levels. A 2021 review found that taking 0.8–8 grams of spirulina daily may improve fasting blood sugar levels and lipid profiles in people with type 2 diabetes. However, more studies are needed to confirm these findings
Skin : Spirulina contains amino acids, trace elements, and vitamins that may help slow skin aging and increase collagen production. This could potentially tighten the skin.
Hair : Spirulina is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which may promote blood circulation and purify the blood. This could stimulate hair growth and make hair fibers healthier and more hydrated.
Other benefits : Spirulina may also have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It may help treat or manage conditions like gum disease and depression, and may also help with heart health, gut health, cholesterol management, weight loss, and reduced blood pressure

Oats

Here are some of the health benefits of oats:

Heart health: Oats contain antioxidants called avenanthramides, which can reduce inflammation and relax arteries
Blood sugar: The soluble fiber beta-glucan in oats can help keep blood sugar from rising after a meal.

Weight loss : Oats can be filling and may help reduce appetite and calories.
Digestive system : Oats can support the health of the gut and digestive system.
Skin : Ground oatmeal can be used as a home remedy for dry, itchy, or irritated skin because it can exfoliate, moisturize, and reduce inflammation.
Asthma : One study found that children who ate oats as one of their first foods were less likely to develop asthma by age 5.

However, eating too many oats can have negative effects. Because oats are bland, overeating them may lead to increased sugar intake. An oats-only diet may also deprive the body of nutrients from other healthy foods

Anti-inflammatory: Moringa may help reduce inflammation and pain.
Blood sugar: Moringa may help control blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.
Liver: Moringa may protect the liver.
Arsenic toxicity: Studies in mice and rats suggest that moringa leaves and seeds may protect against some of the effects of arsenic toxicity, but it's not yet known if this applies to humans
