Superfoods to Save the Day

It is an age-old truth that eating fruits and vegetables improves health. But not all produce is created equal. Meet the superheroes of produce: superfoods, which offer superior disease-fighting capabilities, boost the immune system, fight fatigue, and much more.

Here are 10 important "superfoods" to add to your daily diet:

Sprouts (e.g., broccoli, brussels)
Pomegranate
Barley
Green foods (e.g., wheat grass)
Buckwheat (seed and grain)
Beans and lentils
Hot peppers
Nuts and seeds
Turmeric
Allium family (e.g., garlic, onions, chives)
Superfoods are nature's "designer foods," and they're available now. They contain a whopping dose of health-promoting compounds. They also have a high concentration of protein, essential fats, vitamins, minerals and trace minerals – all contained in one tiny package. Eating superfoods every day may be the best health insurance you can get to prevent cancer, protect the blood vessels and heart, boost the immune system, and fight the ravages of aging. That's why many chiropractors recommend that their patients take a superfood supplement every day. Today's food is tomorrow's natural prescription. Talk to your doctor of chiropractic about the benefits of superfoods.
