Superfoods

Written By: Alex Reddy

Superfood. It’s a fake word that many of us have become familiar with in the past year or two. According to Health news, “there is no legal or medical definition, superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals” (Health). Although the term has not yet become official, superfoods have a very real benefit to our health. Eating superfoods over other average ailments will provide you with the maximum amount of nutrients available in a single food.

Superfoods are often certain types of fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, seeds, and many other natural ailments. In this blog I’d like to share with you a list of my favorite superfoods.

Kale	Sunflower Seeds
Oats	Bananas
Salmon	Sweet Potatoes
Avocados	Tea
Spanish	Blueberries
Collard Greens	Oranges
Brown Rice	Almonds

This is only a giant list of a few of my favorite superfoods. Superfoods  are known to help people fight against disease, attain more energy, and in some cases even lose weight! If you haven't yet, I recommend trying a variety of superfoods and incorporating them into your daily diet. They are easy to find and may already be some of your favorite foods to eat!
