text: From model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's beloved wheatgrass-packed green juice to Victoria Beckham's favourite bee pollen breakfasts, there are plenty of stars who are walking adverts for the power of superfoods. Health bloggers and celebrities alike sing superfoods' praises and scientists publish countless studies into their health benefits. Each comes with its own promise. Indeed, acai berries have been linked to weight loss and cancer prevention, flax seeds are thought to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease, while coconut oil has been hailed as a weight loss aid. But how do we know if they actually work when we've only become aware of them in the past few years? Scroll down for video . Tipper Lewis, 43, has been reaping the benefits of superfoods for twenty years and credits the likes of chia seeds, bee pollen and matcha green tea with her boundless energy and good health . One woman, who has been making use of superfoods her entire life, swears by the stuff - and her wrinkle-free skin, boundless energy and the fact that she doesn't even have a doctor are surely testament to the power of superfoods. Tipper Lewis, 43, from London, grew up on a farm and quickly became fascinated by the power of plants, Chinese medicine and organic produce. A vegan since the age of 18, she studied the power of herbs and plants at University and landed a job at Neal's Yard Remedies - the leading independent British retailer of organic natural health and beauty products. Tipper's wrinkle-free skin, boundless energy and the fact that she doesn't even have a doctor are surely testament to the power of superfoods . Tipper, left, aged 30, and, right, aged 43, studied herbs and plants in her teens and now she is the Head Herbalist at Neal's Yard Remedies where she keeps her finger on the pulse for up-and-coming superfoods and remedies . Speaking to FEMAIL about her love of superfoods, she said: 'I was taking them twenty years ago and they definitely weren't as fashionable back then but I've always loved them. 'People would laugh at me for having a bottle of green water on my desk at work but I just can't imagine living a different way. My healthy diet is definitely to thank for my energy levels. When I was eating badly as a student, I was grumpier and my mind didn't work as fast.' Tipper starts the day with a superfood-charged smoothie, packed with green powder, bee pollen and maca powder. For lunch, she grabs a healthy salad and dinner is often stir fry with hemp seeds.

'People would laugh at me for having a bottle of green water on my desk at work but I just can't imagine living a different way,' she says of her lifestyle . Speaking to FEMAIL about her love of superfoods, Tipper, pictured on her allotment, said: 'I was taking them twenty years ago and they definitely weren't as fashionable back then but I've always loved them' She has also created countless healthy recipes, including her raw cacao chocolate, which is made using raw cacao powder. Unlike cocoa powder, cacao is not refined so is packed with the antioxidants and minerals that cocoa has stripped away. She replaces coffee with a matcha green tea, which is high in antioxidants and particularly catechins - the most potent and beneficial antioxidant. Thanks to her healthy diet, she rarely gets ill. 'I don't even have a doctor,' she admits. Her boyfriend has also jumped on the superfood bandwagon and takes bee pollen (the superfood loved by Victoria Beckham that contains almost all of the nutrients we need) to beat his hayfever. Tipper grew up on a farm and quickly became fascinated by the power of plants and Chinese medicine  after her parents, pictured, introduced her to organic produce . Tipper works behind the scenes at the UK's leading superfood supplier, so what big health trends can we look out for this year? 'Goldenberries are the new goji berries,' she said. 'They are amazing for your beauty, rich in antioxidants, protect your body and regulate blood sugar levels. They also help with collagen production so are amazing for keeping wrinkles at bay.' Whilst Tipper has quietly been consuming superfoods her whole life, she thinks celebrities such as Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have 'opened a door for the public' by professing their love of all things clean and lean. 'Celebrities have done so well in raising awareness that things that are good for you can also taste nice. I know this way of life isn't for everyone but I would love to see more people embracing it. 'I would love to see children eating superfoods. Watching them eat sugary cereal bars on the way to school is soul destroying,' she said. Super Feel-Good Golden Berry Cups .
