Superfoods: Why are they so Super?

Posted on 02/10/2022 by FTB

Nowadays there is a trend in nutrition, namely supplementing with so-called "superfoods". By definition, a superfood is a 100% natural food (fruit-algae-seeds-roots or herbs) that contains an extremely high nutrient density in only small amounts. Today we want to go a little deeper into the subject and write about superfoods. It's all about our health!

  • WHY

    Superfoods are called "super" because they are superior sources of antioxidants and essential nutrients that we need for proper physiological function, but that our bodies cannot produce on their own. In addition to nourishing the body, they help detoxify the body, increase energy, improve immunity and promote general well-being. Furthermore, because superfoods are natural - unlike synthetic vitamins and minerals - they are absorbed and used by our bodies extremely efficiently. In addition, according to the Nutrition Center, superfoods are said to increase libido, prevent cardiovascular disease, help with weight loss or prevent or reduce depression and skin aging.

    There is a difference between "general" superfoods and "special superfoods".General superfoods are various types of green tea, fruits, and vegetables, real dark chocolate, and nuts. Special superfoods are products you are less likely to encounter, such as chia seeds, seaweed, cocoa, coconut fat, and goji berries.

    WHY
  • OTHER SIDE

    There is a but! Superfoods are also seen as a marketing term. Yes, superfoods contain many important substances but do not serve as complete meals.No one food can provide all the essential nutrients.

    In addition, nutritionists let it be known that although fast food has a bad reputation, it can be considered a balanced meal in itself. The trend of superfoods has led to some local products being in demand throughout the world. Consequently, we are seeing an abundance of ecosystems. The avocado could be one of the best examples of this, along with some types of honey.

    OTHER SIDE
  • SO WHAT NOW?

    Superfoods have a positive effect on the body. As described earlier, they cannot serve as a replacement for other nutrients, but incorporating superfoods into your diet is certainly not a bad idea. On our platform, there are many Food Trucks that prepare dishes with superfoods. Take a look and be surprised by the delicious taste!
