Real super foods
October 29, 2008
Those tuning in to the latest health capsule updates from the world of medicine will no doubt have noticed the increased references researchers and health experts have been making to inclusion of super-foods and nutritional supplements.
However, how many of these products claiming to be superfoods are real super foods, is the question high on every thinking man’s mind; because if only a handful of merry berries could give us super-human powers or flaxseed oil capsules popped daily grant us Dilton Doiley’s mental agility, wouldn’t we all be geniuses with extraordinary bodies, already? Well, the scientists endorsing the modern Superfoods say in defence of these that these are actually health-enhancing products, not meant to raise human abilities to super-human ones, but actually to improve genetic and environmentally determined current fitness levels; which is probably why most of the superfoods are labelled as nutritional supplements.
This means if a product is pitched to the public as being a super food, it is targeted at raising their energy levels, promote quick thinking and boost memory for faster mental processing of thoughts, which leads to consumers feeling satisfied with the promise of living longer, more fulfilling lives through wholesome dietary corrections. For, that is exactly what the real, naturally and abundantly available super foods do for you: it is advisable to junk the lab-manufactured suspect results (including undesirable side-effects like migraines, skin dullness, hot flushes, inflammation etc. caused due to allergic reactions of harsh chemicals contained in them) of nutritional supplements posing as super foods (some are not even FDA-approved besides being heavy on the pocket) in favour of organically grown real super foods.
Reach for berries, which are loaded with anti-oxidant properties (compounds that protect our bodies against aging); they are also fiber-rich and boost brain power, thus, opt for locally produced, seasonal berries that are organically grown for best, natural power-boosting that is pesticide-free! Also, include spinach in your diet as its high in vitamins A, C, K and B2 besides delivering lots of calcium, folate, magnesium and manganese to your body, which works together to increase your cancer-resistance and increase mental agility. A yummy dessert treat that is also a super food is yogurt; it helps you shed excess kilos, put on muscle and builds bones besides aiding in digestion!
