While it is well understood that the category "superfood" implies exceptional health benefits, the actual nutritional profile of superfoods is typically less obvious.
As a general category, superfoods are particularly rich in:
Antioxidants: These natural compounds protect your cells from damage and may lower the risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Minerals: These essential nutrients (think calcium, potassium, iron and the like) help your body perform at its highest level.
Vitamins: It’s better to get these organic compounds from natural foods — like superfoods — than from supplements.
Fiber: Fiber helps decrease cholesterol, prevent heart disease and control glucose in Type 2 diabetes.
Flavonoids: Found in plants, flavonoids (once called vitamin P) have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties.
Healthy fats: Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, a.k.a. “good fats,” help lower your cholesterol and prevent heart disease and stroke.
While most superfoods are fruits and veggies, some fish and dairy products qualify as well! Here is a non-exhaustive list of the most popular superfoods that are easy to find and add to your diet.
