The term “superfood” has been criticized by the scientific and medical communities for many years as being more of a marketing gimmick than an actuality. The times are changing, however, and many have now gotten on board with the benefits of adding superfoods in raw, powdered and oil form to the daily diet. Basically, a “superfood” is one that is nutrient-dense or rich in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. They are good for the body, mind, and emotions, and are powerful additions to the daily diet for overall wellness. Foods that are on most of the top superfood lists are green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale, fruits like blueberries, pomegranate and strawberries, cold water fish like salmon, many types of beans, quinoa and other whole grains, and nuts and seeds like almonds and pumpkin seeds. Plant-based superfood powders, oils and supplements are really in a category of their own. Their form makes them easy to add to smoothies, juices and shakes for fast and easy meal replacement, with densely rich nutrients that move quickly into the bloodstream for fast-acting results. There are superfood powders that assist the body to improve energy, libido, digestion, body-building and athletic energies, weight loss or gain, immunity, and overall wellness. Some of the most powerful superfood powders are: Acai Berry, Aguaje Fruit, Moringa, Camu, Maca, Flax, Hemp, Spirulina, Turmeric, Cacao, Guarana, Huanarpo, Cat’s Claw, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Graviola, and Hercampuri.
