That’s the dictionary definition of a superfood, a word that has been hijacked in recent years by the marketing gurus as they have created an entire industry based on exotic and expensive products. All ‘real’ foods give us some of the vitamins and minerals that we need for good health, but there are some that are more equal than others, and these are the superfoods. So if you want to supercharge your health and your body without spending a small fortune on special berries and grains, this is the book for you. Superfoods are all around us, from apples to watermelon, from lentils to lettuce and this book guides you through the grocery store and the food market, showing you what ‘super’ nutrients, you can find in everyday food. We are what we eat, and getting the right vitamins and minerals from our food can transform your life. There are fruits and vegetables that are easy to find and prepare - and delicious - that can help combat diabetes, heart health, lower cholesterol, combat the damage of free-radicals and protect you from the degenerative effects of aging, joint problems, dementia and even cancer. These foods are not the latest fad or miracle cure, they are natures medicine chest and it’s times we took back control of our health and embrace the everyday superfoods.
