10 Superfoods

---

This section is dedicated to 10 Superfoods that contain one or more ingredients which cause significant health benefits, such as the fortification of the immune system, the detoxification of your body and the reduction of the cholesterol.

Superfoods include foods, plants and herbs that have many unique properties that benefits everyone with maximum nutrition, protein, health, energy.

They represent a class of potent, super concentrated and nutrient-rich foods on the planet.
They also cleanse and alkalize your body and correct imbalances without having to take dead vitamins and mineral supplements.

When you begin adding organic, raw, natural superfoods, your cells became capable to eliminate toxins, releasing acids from your fat cells and tissues.

Each food has one or more strenghts, contributing specific antioxidants, essential fats, minerals, phytonutrients, protein, vitamins, or other nutritionally important factors.

Remember: Diets often do not work; they are temporary, often based on absurd principles, and only perpetuate an unhealthy obsession with food. What is needed is a permanent change for the better in eating habits for the entire family.
I am a big proponent of superfoods as medicine. There are so many complex combinations of ingredients within each food that science still does not understand, that I feel it is much better to consume a whole food than to pop a pill that has an extract of some of the good ingredients from that food.

Even if you eat 100% raw organic, you could have mineral deficiencies (and minerals are more important than vitamins). Quite simply, these foods make for tasty and nutrient-dense treats. I have recently begun combining a raw food diet with calorie restriction for longer life. I view the superfoods as essential because the fewer calories we consume, the more nutritious they need to be. Why take dead vitamin pills when you can get more bioavailable nutrition from these enzyme-rich foods?

"Superfoods" are of interest to anyone trying to outline their diet plans and choose better natural remedies. Getting that extra boost from these SuperFoods is the missing link that many have been searching for in their health program.
