In our life there is a new term - superfood. What is this animal and what does it eat?
What is superfud
The word "superfood" comes from the English prefix "super", meaning "superior, higher quality", and the noun "food", which means "food, food."
Superfood refers to foods with a high content of vitamins, micro- and macro elements, amino acids, essential fatty acids( omega 3, 6, 9), fiber, antioxidants. It is the superfood products that the raw food and vegetarians fill their diet. With such products, "dieters" can not worry about their health and be sure that the body will get everything that it needs for life, and it will not be cluttered with "dirty", unnecessary, and often poisonous substances for the body.
Which products are related to the superfood
The products belonging to the category of superfood, at the moment only a few dozen are known. These include spirulina, goji berries, mulberry, vanilla, chia seeds, wheat germ, food hemp, cocoa beans, guarana, green coffee, acai, physalis, cashews and about a dozen more. All these are super-nutritious and highly valuable products.
The effect of particularly useful products
Filling the diet with superfoods, you do not risk feeling hungry or wanting to overeat. The body, nourished with all the necessary, will not require that chocolate, then a salted fish, or a smoked sausage. However, for this, first you need to cleanse the body of toxins, so that it is more sensitive to such a thin food. If you are used to eating tons, it will be difficult to give up this habit immediately. And superfoods are mostly expensive and, in addition, nutritious, and they do not eat much.
The main problem faced by industrialists who supply us with these products is how to bring them to the end user, while preserving all the nutritional properties. They are dried, squeezed juices, packed in vacuum, compressed, extracted with extracts, tableted, turned into candied fruits and pastas. Of course, the maximum usefulness is preserved by those that have been subjected to the most gentle treatment and stored not too long.
Of course, it is important and where and how these products were grown. Give preference to superfoods originating from agrarian solar countries. Let this be a "fruit" that is alien to the Russian organism( and almost all supraphfuds except wheat sprouts and cannabis seeds will be such), but it is environmentally friendly, grown not somewhere near the oil refinery, but in a clean field that has not yet seenindustrial chemistry.
