It is the substance that by which the world spins round. As the number one energy supplier of the world food plays a huge part of our lives. It gives us energy, it nourishes us, and it reminds us of home. Who could ever have imagined a substance that has such a profound effect on us all? For me and for many people food is just that food. as a result of the fading holiday season, the beginning of spring time weather, you receive that new spring fashion catalogue, you look down to those areas that are always under inspection, your dissatisfied , what you find is as always, I need to lose some weight. As you look across the Yahoo News Headlines you find the answer. Superfoods.
Can it be? The answer to those entire stubborn pounds lie in what we eat. Superfoods have “high phytonutrient content that may confer health benefits” as well as, “essential nutrients with proven health benefits.” I can bet what you’re thinking right now, “ Why have I been wasting my time and with diets when all I had to do is eat these superfoods?” Well sorry to burst your bubble of weightless ecstasy and movie star body perfection, but if it was so easy wouldn’t we take the super out of Supermodel. Eating is only a part of the problem. These superfoods are what I like to call healthy powerups for our bodies. They, “makes a body healthier, helps flush out toxins more frequently.” But why are we experiencing a new gold rush in food industry? What is there really to gain?
People are always searching for that balance between nutrition and enjoyment. They find that pristine balance in superfoods. Foodmatters.com lays out the different types of superfood and their properties.
· Green superfoods have the highest concentrations of easily digestible nutrients, fat burning compounds, vitamins and minerals to protect and heal the body
· Fruit and nut superfoods are high in anti-oxidants that fight free radicals in the body.
· Seaweeds are the most nutritionally dense plants on the planet as they have access to all the nutrients in the ocean.
To quote a few. But it’s quite interesting to see the power that food has over us. We have become so consumed with this image of bodily perfection portrayed by stars that we rifle through ancient texts just to find the answer. But I am here to tell you that this entire ploy has only one goal in mind. Create a demand in the market for healthier and more nutrient foods to entertain our ever health conscious stomachs.
