Superfoods

Organic Superfoods are foods that are very high in nutrition and contain a large volume of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They are a whole, raw, unprocessed type of food that is known to be incredibly healthy for you and is packed with many great benefits.

By including these nutrient dense foods in your meals, it’s easy to create a healthy and balanced way of life. Eating a variety of superfoods is also a great way to ensure you are getting the energy you need to nourish yourself without taking supplements.

So which foods are organic superfoods? One of the best things about superfoods is that there are so many of them to choose from. There are superfoods for all ages and conditions. You can enrich your diet with everything from ayurvedic herbs and spices, to berries, leafy greens and whole grains. Some of the best superfoods are:

Now you might be wondering, what do superfoods do for your body? Superfoods can provide many powerful benefits to your body including helping to prevent disease and contributing to an overall balanced, healthy diet. Each superfood will contribute to your health in a different way, however, there are some main benefits worth noting.

An increase in antioxidants is one of the great benefits of superfoods. Antioxidants are molecules that can help to neutralize free radicals within the body. They are known to decrease and sometimes even reverse the effects of certain health problems. You can find antioxidants in superfoods like acai berries and cacao.

Improved digestion is another well-known benefit from superfoods, especially when it comes to increasing fiber intake. You can reap the benefits of fiber by consuming superfoods such as psyllium husk.

Support of a healthy immune system can also be achieved with the consumption of nutrient dense foods. This is often found with superfoods like Tulsi leaf and Ceylon cinnamon.

Some superfoods are also adaptogens that support the body's natural ability to deal with stress. They are called adaptogens because of their unique ability to “adapt” their function according to the specific needs of the body. This may be physical, chemical or biological needs.

Natural adaptogens like Ashwagandha, Maca and Tulsi (Holy Basil) have special compounds that can possess opposing qualities, such as relaxation or stimulation. The correct response is triggered according to the body’s specific needs.

Superfoods can provide many other great benefits to your body, especially when used in combination with one another in your diet.
