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 />
