Nature’s Top Superfoods
While it is quite true that some of the aptly named “superfoods” such as oats, salmon, oranges, soy, Tomatoes, walnuts and
turkey have successfully made the news headlines and therefore well known a majority of individuals, there also happen to be a few other key superfoods which are likewise very important.
Some of these may assist in reducing bad cholesterol levels, elevating good cholesterol levels, reducing the possibility for heart disease and stroke, limitimg high blood pressure and also improving mood.
One superfood in particular that you may be glad to hear about is ever-popular chocolate. Made from the cacao bean, it is really chock full of antioxidant power and can even lower blood pressure in some specific instances.
it is important that you search for for chocolate that has at least a sixty percent cocoa content. As a general rule, the darker
the better. You may have notced a pattern of the darker colored foods like blueberries being especially high in the free radical destroying antioxidants. On top of all that, the darker the chocolate is, the lower the fat and sugar ratio is.
Bee pollen is another underdog superfood and like chocolate it is antioxidant dense and has many amino acids and other nutrients as well. And like chocolate it does not taste half bad. In has every vitamin, mineral and fatty acid known to science.Plus some athletes are even saying that it assists them in retaining muscle tissue for a lean body. Bee Pollen is high in protein as well. But do not consume large quantities of it since it is a bit high in calories. It is often very easy to add more bee pollen to you diet because it tastes good with many other foods.
Another outstanding superfood which does not always get the credit it deserves, in my humble opinion, is the goji berry, from which goji juice is extracted. In fact, it seems that goji juice is the top option for getting the most benefit from this unique food item, since it is wholly active with a high concentration of essential polysaccharides, which are basically the “master molecules” your system requires to rejuvenate each day for optimal health. In addition, these particular polysaccharides are only found in goji, they are not found in any other plant on the planet.
goji juice may very well be the apex method as bigger concentrations of the awesomely healthy molecules can be attained than from the goji berry (also sometimes referred to as the Himalayan worlf berry) by itself, and this top notch technology produces a flavor which is somewhat better than the berries, which can be rather sour. Also, the technology in question works synergistically to further improve the nutritional profile. Apple and also pear juice, which is likewise a superfood in it’s own merit, is often added to the goji juice to produce a slightly sweeter taste. The new technology focuses above all on the actual extraction process.
