| Eat for Health: 7 Superb Superfoods to Power Up Your Life Infographic from Mercola.com |
In nutrition circles, superfoods are defined as a class of foods that are the most nutrient dense and best health promoting foods found in nature.
These tremendously beneficial foods are exceptionally high in a wide range of important micronutrients including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals (phytonutrients).
Generally, in order to be classified as a superfood, a particular food must have at least twelve or more unique health benefiting properties.
Many "common" superfoods can be found in the produce department of most supermarkets or, better yet, at a local farmer's market. These "common" superfoods include:
✿ Artichoke
✿ Broccoli
✿ Brussels Sprouts
✿ Kale
Less common, "exotic" superfoods can generally be found at specialty health and natural food stores and include:
✿ Acai Berry
✿ Chlorella
✿ Spirulina
Naturally, it is always best to purchase organic, locally or sustainably grown produce whenever possible.
