Superfood

Question: What is the best of the SUPERFOOD Supplements? I have taken Spirulina before but it seems that there are lots of superfood supplements now that have more in them than just bluegreen algae. It's very confusing and I don't know which brand to trust. What is your experience? I could use the advise.

Answer: Have you considered taking any of the Rainbow Light Vitamins. They have spirulina, wheat grass and many other super food supplements in one. I swear by them for energy and all around well being. Now that I am expecting, I take the Rainbow Light Prenatals and have never had a problem with being tired as so many women do. You might to give them a try and there are many different formulas to choose from. Good Luck!

Question: Why are blueberries classed as a superfood-and what is a superfood? All answers gratefully accepted.

Answer: darker fruits and vegetables are supposedly high in antioxidants ... they're supposed to be the things that promote good health by helping to fight cancers and disease ... esp. blueberries, cranberries, spinach, all deep rich colors.

Answer: Frankly, THE most important supplement you can take is water!!! Few people drink the recommended 1 gallon a day. Usually, they end up drinking soda pop, milk or anything flavored. If you are looking for a true health supplement to augment your workouts, try a whey/casein protein blend and eat plenty of fruits and veggies through out the day.

Question: What is kelp powder good for? Is kelp a superfood or something? I'm looking for some form of powder that i can start including in my diet. Some type of powder with lots of antioxidants. Would kelp count? Or would chlorella be better? Or anything else? Thanks Oh i heard kelp is good for your skin somehow. I didn't know you can only use it for a certain amount of time.

Answer: Kelp is a good source of Iodine and has some Chlorophyll... but it is nowhere near the level of "superfood". If you ate too much Kelp, you could get Iodine poisoning (an overdose of Iodine) and you wouldn't get enough of any other nutrients to make it worth it. There is a little Chlorophyll in it, but if that's what you're looking for, I would just take some Alfalfa instead because that is one of the most abundant sources. Chlorella would be a much better superfood than Kelp for sure... it also has much safer levels of the various vitamins and minerals. Good luck and I hope I helped! [edit]: In regards to another answer... yes, you CAN overdose on Kelp powder. Iodine is a mineral that can build up to toxic levels and people have been hospitalized for too much of it in their system (although the high blood pressure from Iodized salt is usually a bigger issue). Too much of anything can be bad for you, even water.

Question: What is the best superfood that you recommend for energy to avoid being tired? Is the superfood true?

Answer: I see a new list of "superfoods" all the time. What do they all have in common? They are either fruits, vegetables, or legumes (beans and such). What that term means is simply foods that are packed full of nutrients. My personal fave is probably an apple with a little bit of peanut butter.

Question: Avocado is the latest superfood, but any recipe ideas? I have just purchased an avocado. What do I do with it? And am I supposed to peel it or chop it or what??!!

Answer: Go here! Loads of things to do with an avocado! http://www.cooks.com/rec/search?q=avocado And best way to cut it is through the middle, around the pip, pull the 2 sides apart, stick a knife into the pip and twist it so it comes away, and peel the skin away.

Question: Is superfood odwalla juice good for you? is odwalla and similar juices good for you? cuz the nutritional guide says there is 25g of sugar per serving. but is that natural sugar? or added?

Answer: you just need to look under the ingredients. A lot of the fruit juices have natural sugars in it (fructose). The ingredients list will tell you for sure.

Question: How does drinking superfood supplements benefit ? Does it cause any harm if you drink it everyday?

Answer: I don't think it will cause harm (but you should ask your doc for ideas, some actually are dangerous from what I've heard), but it should never replace a healthy diet. Supplements are meant to be just that- a healthy addition to a healthy diet, NOT a replacement for one.

Question: Name a superfood and why should we eat it as much as possible? For example there are flaxseeds, and they are good source of omega-3 and soluble fiber. Please note if the food you are referring to has helped you with a health condition, etc?

Answer: Oat bran and porridge oats. They soak up cholesterol and have brought my total cholesterol down from 5.7 - 3.3 mmol/l (UK measurement system). they also help keep my diabetes stable and I have them for breakfast most mornings.

Question: Can I freeze Odwalla Superfood juice and still get some nutritional value out of it? I get it from Wal Mart and am hoping that I can freeze it so I do not have to travel a hundred miles to get more.....

Answer: Yes. Freezing actually preserves the vitamins, minerals, etc. Are you sure you can't find another brand of juice (or just produce or vitamins..) that's easier to get? :(

Question: Which superfood, greenfood product would you recommend? I have looked into amazing grass and garden of life superfood products, but I don't know which one is better for the money. Maybe there is a better product out there. I am weight training right now, and wanted to get a multi-vitamin, but I think if I had something like this I won't need it cause I'll get all the nutrients I need from the mix drink. Let me know what you think based on experience, not just theory.

Answer: Personally, IF you eat the right foods you can get all the nutrients you need from your diet. but if I was going to take a green superfood it would be Dr. Schulze's Superfood. If you are weight training/body building you should be interested in reading this: http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/diet-myths-bodybuilding-diet-bad-idea.html Dr. Joel Fuhrman is a former world class figure skater and member of the United States World Figure Skating Team. In 1973, he placed Second in the United States National Pairs Championships.

Question: Have you tried the Superfood Acai Berry? Hello Everyone. I am researching Acai Berry. It is a natural super food found in the rain forests of Brazil that helps lose weight, boosts metabolism, gives energy, increases libido and a great deal of other things. I have read NOTHING BUT POSITIVE things about Acai but they say when something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. So, I want to know if any of you have tried Acai Berry and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it?

Answer: Pros: tons of nutrients, helps fight diseases ( some studies show that they can kill cancer cells! sweet!), flushes and cleanses your body, helps you lose weight, ANTIOXIDANTS YEAH! Cons: the berry rots after only 12 hours of being picked, so unless you are hiking in the amazon, you won't get them fresh (probably in a juice/supplement form). And of course, the producers of the juice will probably add sugars and other stuff which will take away some of the benefits of this wonderful berry... sometimes there is little of the actual berry in the product and the producer will fill it up with other stuff to save money. Anyways, there are way more pros than cons. As with everything, moderation is key. The site at the bottom is acai berry that i personally use and really help my life. Find the best acai berry that you looking for, there's a lot of different acai berry product and some don't work, make sure to read the ingredients and enjoy. http://the-best-acai-berry.blogspot.com/

Question: Does anyone know where to find scientific evidence on Emerald Balance the ultimate whole body superfood? please help me find research findings on the postives of the product as well as the nagatives!

Answer: just keep in mind that if it sounds "too good to be true" it probably is! there is no such thing as "superfoods". now, if a person ate a well balanced diet and did not do things like drugs (this includes alcohol) they would be in optimum health. if your looking to add to a poor diet, just add a multivitamin and have a glass of juice of your choice once a day. no need for exspenive gimmics such as emerale balance-truth is, your body will only absorb what is needed, the rest is goes down the toilet...pun intended.

Answer: You don't lose weight from acai berry. It's called a superfood because it's rich in antioxidants, which help fight free radicals in the body. Nothing in the acai berry, or any food for that matter, makes you lose weight.
