While
there is no strict scientific definition out there, superfoods are usually
packed with essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals, a hefty dose of fiber,
or lean protein. Superfoods also typically have anti-inflammatory properties
from healthy omega-3 fats and anti-aging benefits from antioxidants.
If
you want to upgrade your health and well being while lowering your risk for
disease, these seven superfoods are excellent places to start!
1.Berries
Raspberries, blueberries and açaí berries are all rich in antioxidants and vitamin C,
which help
slow aging and lower your risk of cancer
and heart disease. High levels of omega-3s fight inflammation, while the fiber
in berries balances blood sugar levels.
