superfood-by-kthread.jpgFor something to make the rank of superfood it needs to have high phytonutrient content — which indicates there may be a health benefit when added to your diet.

Superfoods are a special category of foods found in nature. By definition they are calorie sparse and nutrient dense meaning they pack a lot of punch for their weight as far as goodness goes. They are superior sources of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients – nutrients we need but cannot make ourselves.  Source

 

Benefits Of Superfoods

The one thing that all superfoods have in common is the fact that they are ‘real’ (unprocessed) food.

Organic and unprocessed foods — including superfoods — are growing in popularity as more and more people are eating ‘real foods’ and striving to eat a healthier diet.

Superfoods help you build up your resistance to disease. They also help you maintain better mental acuity and cardiovascular health.

Specifically, the benefits of superfoods are quite numerous and include:

  • Preventing or reducing inflammation
  • Helping to regulate metabolism and burn body fat
  • Lowering total cholesterol
  • Lowering blood pressure
  • Helping protect against heart disease
  • Helping protect against cancer
  • Helping protect organs from toxins
  • Promoting digestive health

I love my kitchen… and I like to cook. But my #1 requirement is that recipes have fewer than 7 ingredients (or arrive on my doorstep via a food delivery service). My absolute favorite thing about being in the kitchen is trying out new gadgets, cookware, and storage containers! I'm SUPER organized in the kitchen (and everywhere else) and I have every gadget I could possibly need neatly and compactly tucked away until I need it. I share only the simplest recipes (which is great for people who don't like to cook), along with time-saving food tips and cooking tricks (that will save you time and money). When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or organizing my kitchen… you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

CurtisOne of my all-time favorite "hobbies" is cooking at home! I especially enjoy experimenting with new ingredients ...and different types of cookware. My specialties are foods that are diabetic-friendly, keto-friendly, and low-carb. I share my favorite recipes and cooking tips here at The Fun Times Guide to Food.
