SUPER FOODS!
There was once thought to be 10 superfoods including blueberries, almonds, turkey, olive oil, green tea, oatmeal and a few others. Now we consider almost 100 foods "super" These foods benefit your body in so many ways with brain power, disease fighting properties, the ability to enhance your immune system, and protect against diseases such
as osteoporosis, heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, and
respiratory infections. So where do we draw the line? Once 10, then 20, now 100. Trust me I like to eat and I like that there are so many options out there dubbed "super" but it always makes me wonder when numbers fluctuate so vastly. Consider this, almost any veggie or fruit is considered awesome. Many lean meats, lean fish and proteins made from soy. Calcium rich low-fat dairy with emphasis on soy, rice and almond products. And we all know that chocolate of the darkest variety is included. Throw olive oil in there and you've got it. Super foods in a nutshell.
