Super food is a health buzz word that you have probably heard. This term is used to describe foods that have nutrients and vitamins that are higher than normal when compared to other foods. In this article I am going to talk about a few super foods and tell you why they are so good for you. Some of them you have probably heard of, some of them probably not.
The acai berry is the first super food that I am going to talk about and you probably already know about it. It has a higher concentration of antioxidants than any other fruit. It also contains omega fatty acids, dietary fiber, and protein. It is a very nutritious food and one of the most popular health supplements in the world. If you live outside the United States, you can visit the Acai Berry Australia or Acai Berry UK pages for specific information.
The second super food I want to talk about is pistachio nuts. These little nuts are called the skinny nut and are really good for you. They are high in antioxidants, fiber, and protein. They are a good source of vegetable protein and only have 160 calories per serving which is about 50 nuts. You can eat them as a snack by themselves or they can be added to salads, muffins, cereal, and lots of other snacks and meals.
I want to close by talking about two more super foods. One of them is a fruit that gets compated to the acai berry and the other is a nut that you probably have used before but never thought of as a super food.
The pomegranate is a super food sometimes compared to the acai berry. It is full of antioxidants and has a very exotic flavor. This fruit has gotten a lot of attention because of its antioxidant content.
The next super food is the walnut. There is a good chance you know about walnuts and have even used them cooking, but you may not know about the health benefits. They are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and plant based protein. They also have a higher concentration of omega 3 fatty acids compared to other nuts.
So where can you get these super foods? Acai berries are probably best taken in supplement form because you will have a very hard time finding them fresh. Pomegranates have become very popular and are now available in the fruit section of many stores. Walnuts are available in almost any grocery store. Pistachio nuts are not as common as walnuts, but ther are available in most stores now.
Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or an antioxidant boost, these fruits and nuts are a great addition to your diet.
