So the question is: Which foods are superfoods?
You might have it heard and read about it so many times: SUPERFOODS! But what are superfoods and like the title says: which foods are superfoods?
That was my question as well so that’s why my long journey started to go on a mission and find out which foods are superfoods
So first of all what are superfoods? According to Josh Axe DNM, DC, CNS certified doctor of natural medicine, chiropractic, and clinical nutritionist ( Man I want a title like that?) Superfoods are foods which are more nutrient-dense than other foods in their categories. So they stand more out then ordinary. So they are higher in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,so they give your body the more nutrients your body need.
And there goes all my energy wasting thinking that superfoods are like the super incredible vitamins which you can only find on Mars in a cave?
