Superfoods are a naturally superior group of foods. To be considered a superfood, they must be nutrient-dense yet low in calories. Also, they all have a high concentration and variety of:

-vitamins -minerals -antioxidants -phytonutrients -fiber -healthy fats -quality protein


Superfoods come in a range of forms. Some include:

Green Superfoods (such as kale, spinach, wheatgrass, and spirulina) These foods have the highest concentrations of bioavailable vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and healthy bacteria. They help to protect against disease, build immunity, improve digestive health, and build lean muscle.

Fruit Superfoods (such as goji berries, acai, raw cacao, coconut, and noni) These are incredibly high in antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals and oxidative stress. In turn, they help to prevent disease and cellular damage.

Herb Superfoods (such as nettle, echinacea, ginseng, and aloe vera) Herbs provide the body with essential nutrients that it can’t otherwise produce itself. These superfoods are great supplements for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies. Each herb has a different function but works together to rebalance and regulate the body.
