Super Good. Super Food. Super For You!

High-tech tomatoes. Mysterious milk. Supersquash. Are we supposed to eat this stuff? Or is it going to eat us? ~Annita Manning

Have you always wondered what the secret was to the fountain of youth? Well I can assure you that it is not a magic potion. Rather the old adage, “you are what you eat”, rings true if you want to know the secrets for health, longevity, looking good and feeling good. Live Superfoods are not only responsible for taking the years off, but can also help in weight loss and help to prevent illness.

In order to make bigger profits, traditional farming practices have been subjected to genetic modification processes, demineralized soils, and the broad use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides which has resulted in vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as a heightened level of toxins in a majority of available food products.

Superfoods are disease-fighting nutrients that are considered vegetarian complete protein sources, high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, amazing in taste, and contain unique compounds and raw and living properties such as polysaccharides and phytonutrients leaving the enzymes unaltered.

Prior to moving abroad, I was a RAW vegan. Essentially 95% or more of the food I ate, had not been cooked or processed in any way. The most heat that ever was applied came in the form of a dehydrator. Everything was fresh, and quite rich in taste as well. If you have never attempted to try a superfood, I sincerely encourage it. Even if you are not a “veggie” person, you might be surprised. If you are apprehensive, at least try a dessert. In my personal opinion a RAW and live dessert is probably one of the richest and most tasty thing one could ever eat. If I had more available resources available to me in Europe I would almost cetainly resume a RAW vegan lifestyle, as it was the best I have ever looked and felt in life.

David Wolfe, a raw food and super food guru, suggests slowly incorporating raw foods into your diet, especially if you are seeking to make a big lifestyle change. By slowly adding superfoods to your diet, you will eventually omit the bad foods as your body will be able to detect the difference. You simply won t want to eat “bad food” anymore because your body will begin to feel better then it has ever felt before.

A few benefits from consuming live superfoods are:

~Increased energy and stamina in physical activities and everyday work

~Increased sex drive due to the aphrodisiac properties of many live superfoods

~A dramatic anti-aging effect on your appearance

~Elimination of minor health complications such as constipation, rashes, poor complexion, etc.

~Increased mental performance and memory improvement

~Safe and highly nutritious weigh loss, made easy

Some of my favorite RAW Superfoods are as follows:

SEA VEGETABLES: agar, wakame, arame, hiziki, kombu, and dulse They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein, yet low in calories. Sea vegetables are delicious in soups, stews, salads, side dishes, or for making sushi.

BERRIES: raspberries, blueberries, cherries, and blackberries. Fresh berries are loaded with vitamin C, folate, fiber and phytonutrients and make for some of the most powerful disease fighting foods available.

LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES: kale, chard, collard greens, watercress, arugula, bok choy, and dandelion greens Green vegetables are packed with vitamins A and C, iron, folate, beta-carotene, calcium and phytonutrients. They are very filling, high in fiber and low in calories. They are also alkalizing, and create strong blood and the chlorophyll in them helps the body purify itself.

COLD PRESSED EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL Cold pressed or Cold extraction means "that the oil was not heated over a certain temperature ) during processing, thus retaining more nutrients and undergoing less degradation." Olive oil, contains anti-inflammatory benefits, reduces the risk of developing heart disease and cancer and possibly allows for a longer life.

Living in Spain I am spoiled rotten and have immediate access to a large variety of Cold Pressed Olive Oils at an unbelievably low price.

CHILE PEPPERS In addition to their high capsaicin content, cayenne peppers are also an excellent source of vitamin A, including beta-carotene. Beta-carotene may therefore be helpful in reducing the symptoms of asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.Additionally, its antioxidant activity make it useful in preventing the free radical damage that can lead to arteriosclerosis, colon cancer, and diabetic complications, like nerve damage and heart disease. Chile peppers can help one lose weight due to the fact that they temporarily evaluate the metabolism.
