We have all heard the term “Superfoods” and have a general understanding that this term refers to a category of mostly plant-based foods that are known for their health-enhancing and disease preventing properties.  And though there is no scientific definition of “superfood” (though there should be), it is generally accepted that these power foods contain an abundance of vitamins, minerals and other health enhancing components such as:

• Antioxidants: natural substances that prevent or delay cell damage that can lead to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s
• Phytochemicals: naturally occurring chemical compounds that give plants their vibrant colors and distinctive aromas, and that possess health enhancing and disease preventing properties
• Fiber: necessary for a healthy digestion system allowing for maximum absorption of life-giving nutrients
• Healthy Fats: needed for heart and cardiovascular health, optimal brain function, and energy.
