Top Superfoods

To understand how foods get on a list of top superfoods, you first need to become familiar with what superfoods are.

Basically the term superfood is used to describe foods that are considered especially nutritious and beneficial to a person’s health and wellbeing. They are sometimes also referred to as functional foods.

Health benefits typically associated with superfoods are the ability to:

• Prevent or reduce inflammation

• Promote good digestive health

• Help the body burn fat and regulate metabolism

• Lower blood pressure

• Lower cholesterol

• Help to protect against cancer

• Help to protect against heart disease

Oftentimes, foods that are considered top superfoods are those that contain a significant amount of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. They are generally foods in their purest forms, without being processed or genetically altered.

If you follow a diet that focuses on foods known to fight inflammation, you will find many of the superfoods listed below in the recipes. We highly recommend following the Meals That Heal Inflammation program. More than just healthy recipes, this practical guide shows you how to get to the root of your current health conditions to start living pain free.
