Which foods are the best foods to eat?
Hello-
Last time, we left off talking about some of the health benefits of eating the best foods.
Today, I wanted to talk to you a little bit more about the best foods and give you a longer list of the best foods to eat.
While many foods provide vital nutrients, vitamins and minerals, there are a number of important foods whose benefits go far beyond simple nutrition. These so-called superfoods are valuable at preventing a number of diseases and they should form the basis of any disease prevention regimen.
From their role in preventing cancer to their role in reducing the effects of environmental pollutants, these superfoods are extremely valuable to a healthy lifestyle. These are foods that can help you live longer, feel better and enjoy a healthier lifestyle and greater level of fitness.
Some of these superfoods have been known to science for centuries or even millennia, while others are more recent discoveries. What they all have in common, however, is their ability to prevent disease. These superfoods are among the most nutrient dense on the market, and most of them are both widely available and inexpensive, and that’s what makes them the best foods to eat. Whether they are included in the diet as herbs, whole foods or supplements, their role in a balanced diet simply cannot be overstated.
While many foods have made the super food claim over the years, the list of actual bona fide superfoods is much shorter. The top nutrient dense foods generally acknowledged to have the characteristics of superfoods are:
Acai Berry
Astragalus
Basil
Bilberry
Boswellia
Broccoli
Chinese wolf berry
Cinnamon
Echinacea
Flax (flax seed oil)
Garlic
Ginger
Ginko
Ginseng
Goji berry
Green tea
Kiwis
Licorice
Milk thistle
Mint
Olive oil
Oranges
Oregano
Pepper
Pomegranate fruit
Rosemary
Salmon
Spinach
Spirulina
St. John’s Wort
Thyme
These superfoods are quite different from one another, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they are the most nutrient dense, organically active foods on the market. Many of these foods have the ability to boost the function of the immune system while others provide the phyto-nutrients and antioxidants needed to ward off common diseases, while still others combine a number of other benefits to provide the biggest bang for your nutritional buck.
These foods are available in a number of different forms, from delicious edible varieties, to wonderful herbs used in cooking to excellent supplements. Many of these superfoods come in more than one form, making it easy to add variety to your life while enjoying a healthier lifestyle and longer life.
Have a healthy eating day!
