SUPERFOODS<br />
We’re often fed news<br />
about superfoods and superherbs<br />
— and it’s tempting<br />
to want to believe everything<br />
we’re told. Some superfood<br />
claims are backed by scientific<br />
studies, while other enticing<br />
claims turn certain foods<br />
into fads, though the foods<br />
have few proven benefits. We<br />
looked at the studies of 10<br />
pantry picks and give you<br />
the real goods about their<br />
disease-fighting powers.<br />
Superfoods are a special<br />
category of foods found<br />
in nature. By definition<br />
they are calorie sparse and<br />
nutrient dense meaning<br />
they pack a lot of punch<br />
for their weight as far as<br />
goodness goes. They are<br />
superior sources of antioxidants<br />
and essential<br />
nutrients - nutrients we need<br />
but cannot make ourselves.<br />
We all may be adding more<br />
salads and vegetables to our<br />
diets, but concern over the<br />
quality of foods grown on<br />
mineral depleted soils makes<br />
Superfoods an intelligent<br />
choice.<br />
