Why should someone eat superfoods to stay healthy? What foods are they and why are they called superfoods?

With superfoods, you get unusually large amounts of nutrition with relatively fewer calories per nutrient. For example, buffalo delivers twice the protein in one calorie as lean steak. This allows you to add more nutrition to your calorie limit for each meal, which goes a long way toward staying healthy.

Basically, there are three categories of superfoods to make it easier to stay healthy:
o Super nutrient-dense foods
o Unusually extra healthy foods to always include often
o Supplements to take to stay healthy. (as opposed to supplements to help overcome an illness)

Nutrient-dense superfoods to stay healthy include:

Quinoa
goji berry
spirulina
o Hemp protein
agave nectar
Stevia
or wheatgrass
or Acai Berry

Common foods that are very high in nutrients great for staying healthy include:

or nuts
o Bison – Buffalo
pumpkins

o Fat Soluble Benfotiamine to easily penetrate into our cells to normalize blood sugar, block blood vessel damage and inflammatory conditions caused by glycation.

Fat burning and blood health

o Omega 3s-EPA/DHA: This helps the liver’s mitochondria to properly burn fatty acids to prevent dangerous amounts of triglycerides from building up in the blood, which helps prevent arterial blockages.
o Green tea extract is 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C or E. It is not necessary to drink more than 18 cups of green tea per day.
o Chromium keeps blood sugar levels regulated, which helps prevent insulin resistance.

Remember that our pancreas produces about half of the healing and digestive enzymes that our bodies need to stay healthy. The other half has to come from what we eat. Since cooking and heating food always destroys all of its enzymes, to stay healthy we are left with eating raw nuts, fruits and vegetables as part of our meals to ensure we supply enough enzymes.

In many ways, you could even call raw food a form of superfood. Of course, to stay healthy, it is also wise to consider taking some enzyme supplements from plant sources. Due to the nutritional power of raw food, we should all strive to eat about 1/3 of raw food each day just to stay healthy.
