Of course, there are more than just 10 "superfoods." In fact, just about every brightly colored fruit and vegetable fits the category of a superfood, as do nuts, beans, seeds and aromatic and brightly colored herbs and spices. The beneficial properties of each one of these superfoods could fill an entire book.
The 10 featured here were chosen because of their direct link to the Brain-Beauty Connection. These foods (listed here in alphabetical order) are rich in either the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), antioxidants or fiber, and as in the case of açaí—all three! In addition, we have included foods that have been proven to lower or help regulate blood sugar levels—an extremely important factor for all of those concerned with slowing the aging process and preventing diabetes, obesity, wrinkles and a host of degenerative diseases.
Although many of these foods have reported medical benefits, remember at all times that if you have any type of health problem or physical symptom, do not self-diagnose or self-medicate—even if with a food or herb. Trust your medical professional first and foremost in this department. However, the 10 foods included here do have incredible health benefits. Listed below are just some of the reasons to include these foods in your diet—every day:
Acai berries are now included in this new chocolate I have tried and LOVE. You don't really taste berries - just super good for you delicious dark chocolate that is to die for. It is so good - just search chocolaterave on google and you'll find it. I won't go without it. Not only do I get all the benefits from the acai berries, I get it eating chocolate! If you want the benefits of the acai berries, try this, you'll thank me!
Canfree - yes I have noticed that I feel more energy, I have lost several pounds (I eat the protein bars for lunch) and this is the only chocolate I can eat that won't give me headaches. I love love love this stuff. In fact, I need to order more. I won't run out of this acai chocolate. It seems to have even helped my aches and pains if that is possible - it is the only thing I've changed and I can't say enough good about it.
I haven't tried it in juice form but I know some of that healthy stuff can be really nasty when it is in drinks. That's why I was so happy to find this chocolate taste just like really good dark chocolate. You don't even know you are eating something healthy - and I'm diabetic so rarely get to eat sweets so it's extra special to me. I can't have any fruit juices at all.
The Acai stuff I tried was in a juice form. I couldn't even use it so down the drain it went.
Maybe it was spoiled?
Mine is powder which I add to my green tea along with pomegranate, cranberry, and maca powder. Then I throw in a heaping teaspoon of ascorbic acid and a 1/2 tsp stevia and it tastes good.
