Chapter 1: List of Excellent Super Foods
Super foods are known to have extremely beneficial nutritional as well as
pharmacological value. These are substances from normal daily life that are utilized in a
more specified manner to gain precise nutritional advantages over the other, according
to the needs of the person. For those who deny the efficacy or the effectiveness of these
we have a question. Before the advent of all this scientific advancement we relied on the
basics, didn’t we? So what are these super foods? Are these something different? No,
they are not. These are just a contemporary version of the same herbs and vegetables
that were brought into usage in a more raw form in ancient
times.
1: Important Fruits
Starting off with one of the very basic and the most potent
super foods that have been attributed the highest value that is a
berry. It can be of any type, may it be a blue berry or a goose
berry or a wolf berry but more commonly the blue berries are
preferred by people. Other than that other fruits like citrus
fruits including lemon and orange re also of a very high
nutritional value and can cure a lot of medical conditions also
that will be explained in our next chapter. Coconuts are also
taken as a very fine example of the super foods.
2: Important Vegetables
There is a long list of vegetables that fall under this
category as it definitely did not come as a surprise
to us because vegetables have been known to carry
a great deal of comestible value for the longest
time. Important ones include green leafy
3 Superfoods Online
vegetables like spinach and leaf lettuce. That is one of the reasons why even the most
unhealthy food like junk food including burgers etc add some lettuce in their mean just
to make it look like very digestible and sustaining. Other than that beet root and
dandelion leaves are also important. These mentioned here are the green leafy
vegetables but other than these there are broccoli and Brussels sprouts along with
Chinese cabbage and collard greens that are credit worthy.
3: Seeds and Whole Grains
The seeds are the ones that are used commonly as well for purposes like general health
benefit and also when one gets tired of consuming the
same kind of food all the time. Seeds include Chia
seeds, Flex seeds and Hemp seeds. Grains on the other
hand include Amaranth and Quinoa. These are the
things that our mothers have been making all their
lives but we never paid attention to the importance of
these.
Turmeric is an antioxidant, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory spice gives curry its
distinctive taste. It's a prominent medicinal tool in ayurveda, the ancient medical
tradition that began in India, where turmeric is widely used and the prevalence of the
four most-common US cancers is 10 times lower. Researchers attribute part of this to
curcumin, a compound gives turmeric its deep golden color, and studies suggest
curcumin may protect against cancer and Alzheimer's and also improve circulation,
prevent blood clotting and tame a variety of pains.
4: Legumes
Among the legumes the important ones include beans and peanuts which are not only
nourishing and salutary but also very good in taste
so it’s a win-win situation either way. Raw cocoa is
also considered very healthful in a lot of medical
conditions alongside being generally a very
favorable thing to consume. The importance of
4 Superfoods Online
lentils and mountain peanuts cannot be ignored at any point. Sweet potatoes have been
considered a part of so many weight loss programs because they provide exactly the
right amount of carbohydrates that are essential for your body.
5: Fatty Fish and Mushroom
Fatty fish and mushroom are also thought to be one
of the classics among the super foods of course
because as we all are well aware of the fact that the
maximum amount of proteins are present in the fish
and protein has a very important role in all the
bodily functions starting from the enzymatic activity
to the structural proteins and the muscle proteins.
Among the fatty fish, the dominant ones are salmon,
mackerel and sardines. There are others too but these are the most important ones.
6: Drinks
The drinks do not include a lot but majorly kombucha and wheat grass are the ones that
are given enough importance. Green tea is also considered as a highly beneficial agent
due to its qualities that will be explained in the upcoming chapter.
7: Algae
Last but certainly not the least are the algae that have been discovered recently to have
health benefits that were never known to mankind hence they are also included to be a
part of the super foods. The more prominent types include Chlorella, Spirulina, Wakame
(also known as sea mustard). These tend to be really beneficial to us as well.

role in making your memory better. This has been

age) who eat blue berries every day have a very late

cognitive problems associated with aging,
ineffective against the human body. Patients suffering with type 2 diabetes are
