The Natural Superfoods that Can Help You

By Enoch Mierzwiak


Superfoods. You've likely heard this word mentioned in health and diet circles lately. The truth, though, is that this term isn't anything new. In fact, underground nutrition publications have been talking about superfoods in the early 80s.

Nuts are among the superfoods, but it's important that you be careful about the things you read about them because there are different varieties of nuts. One fact about nuts you'll often read or hear about is their high fat content, which makes them not ideal for weight loss. It is true that some nuts have undesirable fats in them, but that's not the case with all nuts. In fact, the healthy varieties have beneficial fat in addition to excellent fiber and other healthy nutrients. Your fat loss diet can include nuts. However, make sure that you eat nuts sensibly. You'll want to eat about an ounce of nuts daily. Nuts will keep you full longer. They're also great for snacking.

If you like eggs, you can still consume them in modest amounts. Eggs are actually fat burning foods so they are great for losing weight.

If you follow a poor diet and fail to regularly exercise, the excess waste will be stored in your large intestines. Don't think that's significant? Did you know that when Elvis Presley's body was autopsied, they found more than 45 pounds of accumulated waste in his large intestines. Which leads us to kiwi, a superfood that's rich in fiber. You'll also find other nutrients in the kiwi fruit. It's also found to have high concentrations of prebiotic factors. What are prebiotics? These are substances that the body is unable to digest but serve as food for the good bacteria in the digestive tract. Kiwi can help in promoting regular bowel movements and preventing waste from building up. African mango extract is another food you can consider to improve your bowel movements because it contains both soluble and insoluble fibre.

Go for colorful berries and bright, leafy veggie foods. While these may seem like strangely different foods, their colorful natures are an indication of the rich array of nutrients contained. A variety of antioxidants, including carotenoids and phenols, are responsible for many of these colors. While fad diets seldom emphasize antioxidant consumption, antioxidants play an important role. The types of bacteria living in your gut are influenced by the antioxidants you eat. There are plenty of artificial metabolism boosters being marketed today. You will be surprised just how much of a boost your metabolism gets from eating these healthy foods that will help clean your gut.

Eating primary plant superfoods is a powerful means of losing weight. Good health is a byproduct of eating plant-based foods. In some cases nutrients in specific plants are known to help in the battle against specific diseases. Whatever your health condition or goal may be, do some research about the best plants for you.
