What are Superfoods?

Superfoods are so packed with nutrients that even small amounts can pack a powerful punch. While there are no set criteria for determining what is and isn’t a superfood, experts generally agree that items containing extra-large doses of vitamins, minerals and micronutrients qualify for the moniker.
I would have to write a whole new book to explain the benefits of all the nutrients found in superfoods, but there are a few main components that stand out and deserve special mention.

We’ll start with antioxidants: These nutrients are thought to ward off cancer by fighting free radicals and helping to keep cells in good condition. Next up is fiber, which aids in the prevention of diabetes and a wide range of digestive problems, plus soluble fiber, which helps to sweep arteries clean and keep your heart healthy. Vitamins and minerals support your body’s systems in many ways; without them, your skin, eyes, nerves, and organs would fail. Finally, phytochemicals, which are minuscule components that give plants their rich fragrances and delightful colors also provide
a wide range of health benefits.

Which Red Super Fruits and
Ingredients, and Why?

From cranberries to strawberries to watermelon, red fruits
 and vegetables pack a powerful punch. Red fruits and veggies are brimming with antioxidants such as anthocyanins and lycopene, helping the body to ward off illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. These vibrant red foods also decrease the risk of macular degeneration and stroke, and they help eliminate the free radicals that contribute to aging.
