SuperFood to the rescue~
Many have come to know that super foods that are known to provide generous amounts of vitamins and nutrients for a good health. They form the foundation of many forms of the raw food diet and are believed to contain properties that help with a wide range of health disorders.
Are you aware of the types of superFood around us?
Well, not everyone knows the types of superFood so, here are 6 amazing superFood that will help give you a better quality of life.
1. Raw Chocolate
Many people love chocolate, but not many people are familiar with raw chocolate. Unlike the processed milk chocolate that is found in many candy bars, raw chocolate has all the benefits and few of the drawbacks.
Raw chocolate has a lot of magnesium. This makes it ideal for helping with nervous conditions, as magnesium helps to calm the nervous system. Serotonin is also found in raw chocolate, which is necessary for proper brain function. Much of this is due to the antioxidant content. You get more anti-oxidants in raw chocolate than in green tea or even blueberries.
There is no caffeine in raw chocolate, but there is a stimulant known as Theoromine, which is very helpful with respiratory issues, such as asthma.
2. Goji Berries
Hailing from Tibet, these tasty berries provide plenty of fiber and Vitamin C. With over 21 trace minerals found in the berries, they are ideal sources of nutrition. Goji berries are rich in anti-oxidants and amino acids, making them more effective than such staples as carrots and spinach.
The combination of nutrients in Goji berries is thought to provide a great boost to the immune system, enhancing the ability to deal with bacteria in the body. The nutritional content is also thought to be helpful with such ailments as insomnia, diabetes, high blood pressure, and excess cholesterol. All in all, these berries pack quite a whallop.
3. Maca
Grown in Peru, maca has the appearance of a radish, but the sweetness of a fruit. As part of any raw food diet, maca brings a lot to the table. The fruit is a great source of protein, and also contains a nice range of vitamins.
Maca is said to be a great way to boost or maintain energy levels. It has something of a reputation as an aphrodisiac that helps to maintain libido and endurance in both men and women. While not working with the speed of nuclear medications, maca does help build up the body and provide benefits that are long lasting. The fruit is sometimes used by herbalists and homeopathic physicians as a means of naturally regulating blood pressure and restoring a balance when physical and emotional stresses through the body and mind out of sync.
4. Bee Pollen
Bee pollen has a concentration of over 96 different essential nutrients. Many hail it as one of the most effective raw foods on the planet. Bee pollen promotes energy, provides a lot of protein, and helps to remove toxins from the body. Even a couple of capsules a day will make a huge difference for many people who are literally starving for the right type of nutrients.
5. Hemp Seed
Raw hemp seeds provide the Omega 3 and 5 fatty acids that help to lower cholesterol and keep circulation flowing properly. While not containing high amounts of various nutrients, there are trace amounts that help to compliment other sources. Because the seed does not have to germinate before consumption, it is easily digested in the system, so the benefits begin to appear in a short period of time.
6. Wheatgrass
Rich in chlorophyll, wheatgrass also provides some of the most basic minerals needed in the daily diet. As a significant source of magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc, and potassium, wheatgrass can be a great substitute for dairy products on a raw food diet. Generally, juicing the wheatgrass along with other fruits and vegetables yields a juice that is tasty and loaded with much of what you need every day to be healthy. The blend of nutrients helps to calm bodily cravings for food in the early stages of a diet, and continue to provide excellent nutrition moving forward.
If you are serious about getting into shape, check into the usage of these six super foods. You may be surprised at what a huge difference they will make in your life.
