Superfoods! In constant pursuit of Health, Wellness and the American Way!

Superfoods are found on the grocery shelf.  NO! Not the aisle that has frozen pizza, Frosted Flakes and Hamburger Helper, but other places, mostly found around the perimeter of the store.  They are common foods with amazing qualities.  How about the capability of healing what ails you?  The term superfoods is not a scientific term, it appears to be a marketing term but it is generally accepted that these foods are all rich in good things like antioxidants, phytonutrients, fiber and other great nutrients.  The common theme is that they have multiple nutrients in one food.  The benefits are, increased energy, better memory, lower blood pressure, immune system enhancement, et al . (For you lay folk, that means The list goes on and on.)

Understand that you never want to eat excessive amounts of any one of these foods.  Also, if you are on meds, then you want to be careful with certain foods.  Eating a variety  of these superfoods, in moderation,  each day, will help you live a better, healthier life.  Here are a few foods considered to be  superfoods.  You may be surprised:

Berries,  Nuts and seed: Pay attention to flax seed It is known to help with heart disease, cancer prevention, stroke prevention, diabetes prevention and, given to chickens, increases Omega 3 in their eggs.  Another one is Goji berry,  known mostly for anti-aging benefits, among other great benefits.

Eggs, beans lentils and yogurt.  Eggs are high in Omega 3 fatty oils and protein. Beans and lentils are a source of carbohydrates, fiber and protein. And they are low in calories.  Yogurt  is high in calcium, protein and potassium. Yogurt is also rich in probiotics.  Good for the stomach.

Salmon is in a category of its own.  High in Omega 3, it is also a great source of protein.  And it is delicious.  Beware farm fed salmon.  It is fed all kinds of bad things to make it big and fat, which end up in your body.  Don’t worry about mercury from ocean caught salmon.  The odds are minimal that ocean salmon is dangerous. Here is a great salmon commercial: Guy fights bear -

Two spices that come to mind are turmeric and ginger.  Both are great for digestion and both have other wonderful benefits such as the ability to fight off cancer cells.    

A little bit on supplements as a superfood.  Imagine a dozen or so superfoods combined into one super superfood.  The first is potentiated bee pollen.  Here comes another OMG!!  This is one outstanding supplement and SUPERFOOD!  Click here to see superfood supplements.    One capsule provides all those phytonutrients that I have talked about and regular users are reporting health benefits beyond belief.  Only I believe it. 

Juices that have 8 or more superfoods combined are amazing also.  It appears that these juices work in synergy and the benefits of one are enhanced by the benefits of the others.  This is not wive’s tales.  There is now more and more research proving this point. 

Let’s all be SUPER and eat SUPERFOODS.  This world will be a better, healthier, thinner place for all.  Thanks.  Click here to see 100 superfoods
