top 10 super foods




  1. Goji Berries: Use of these orange-red berries dates back to ancient China and was used as a traditional Chinese medicine to help people enjoy longer, healthier lives. Goji berries are anti-inflammatory and contain high amounts of antioxidants that can help the body fight off free radicals and infections.
  2. Marine Phytoplankton: These tiny microalgae contain an abundance of nanonutrients that can help the body store and utilize energy more efficiently. Taking phytoplankton regularly may help you lose weight, fight off illnesses and maintain ideal health and wellness.
  3. Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are extremely high in protein, contain very few calories and can help you reduce food cravings throughout the day. This is because these tiny seeds can absorb nine times their own weight in water, so once you eat them you feel fuller for a longer period of time.
  4. Hemp Seeds: Containing a perfect balance of omega 6 and omega 3, hulled hemp seeds earn a spot as one of the 10 top superfoods because they contain all of the essential amino acids, are high in protein and rich in vitamins and trace minerals. What more could you ask for?
  5. Blueberries: These sweet, delicious berries contain powerful antioxidants that will wage war against free radicals that could attack the body. Blueberries are also extremely high in vitamin C, vitamin K and manganese.
  6. Kale: These dark, leafy greens are supercharged with fat-soluble vitamins that will help you maintain proper cardiovascular and digestive health, while helping you to look and feel younger. Don’t like the taste of these greens on a salad? Try making your own crispy kale chips by sprinkling on a little sea salt and dehydrating them!
  7. Coconut Oil: The oil from this tropical fruit is high in medium-chain fatty acids that can help you lose weight, have soft, clear skin and keep your heart and circulatory system moving smoothly.
  8. Raw Cacao: Used to create the decadent milk chocolate that you might be used to eating, raw cacao is actually a superfood on its own. These bitter nibs contain properties that can relax your body, improve your digestion and lower your cortisol levels.
  9. Pomegranates: The juicy seeds inside of this intoxicating fruit actually are the only food that contains punicalagins, which are compounds that can lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and keep your heart in proper working order.
  10. Lingonberries: These small, bright red berries not only help protect your body from tissue damage and free radicals, but also create a powerful anti-inflammatory response in the body.
