What are superfoods?

Superfoods are the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet and have been used for thousands of years by indigenous peoples to heal the mind and body. In today's toxic world, it's a good idea to include them in your diet to improve your performance, increase vitality and feel rejuvenated

The Western diet full of refined, industrialised foods has removed minerals, vitamins and nutrients from our daily diet that are essential for optimal, radiant health.

One of the ways we can help our bodies to maintain a healthy, radiant glow is through the use of a healthy diet.

One of the ways to quickly and easily improve our health is to increase our intake of superfoods, nutrient-rich foods that have a powerful effect on human health.

Superfoods are a great way to improve our health.

Superfoods are mostly raw foods that are more nutrient-dense than processed and cooked foods. Rich in enzymes they are also packed with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and phytochemicals, which help protect against disease. Packed with antioxidants they have broad therapeutic potential and anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Superfoods are a growing trend. More and more people are discovering that they feel better when they add them to their diet.

The concept of food as medicine is not new. The value of eating well, the importance of diet, and the potential of certain foods for health and wellness is widely recognised. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food, as Hippocrates once said.

The Mayo Clinic defines superfoods as foods that meet at least three criteria. They are an excellent source of fibre, vitamins and minerals; high in phytonutrients and antioxidant compounds such as vitamins A and E and beta-carotene; and low in calories. All factors that mean superfoods can help reduce the risk of heart disease and other health conditions and disorders.

With our lifestyles, it may not be easy to consume enough of the nutrients we need to perform at our best. We have forgotten the true purpose of eating which is to nourish our bodies. Today refined, processed, fried, fried, sweet and fatty foods are the quickest and most readily available options, and are often the cheapest. With them we satiate our appetite without getting the nutrients, vitamins and minerals we need to be vital.

From an early age we begin to have important nutritional deficiencies that will eventually affect our health and mood. We become more and more tired and turn to more and more exciting foods such as coffee, colas and sweets and simple carbohydrates for quick energy, and so on and on and on, in ever increasing quantities.

The good news is that in most cases you can reverse the situation with a change in your diet.

Superfoods in their natural form can give your body the nutrition you need for optimal functioning and to prevent the development of certain debilitating diseases and conditions.

Superfoods are a solid source of dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals that will help us achieve our health and wellness goals. They are packed with antioxidants that support the immune system, help detoxify and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improving our physical health.

Superfoods are a solid source of dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals that help us achieve our wellness and health goals.

Don't forget that often the obsession with expensive and exotic superfoods makes us forget about more common and cheaper foods that also keep us healthy: apples, eggs, salmon, yoghurt, broccoli to name a few.

The term "superfood" is misused by marketers and labelling products as superfoods can mislead people into thinking they are eating healthy when they are not. Marketing often trumps science, so be critical of the content you read on the internet, including on this website.

Try superfoods gradually and see if they are beneficial to your health by incorporating them into your regular diet. Also read comments from other people who may be able to help you, and always consult your health professional if in doubt.

Since our inception at ONNA, we have known the benefits of fruits and essential oils packed with natural ingredients. Superfoods applied to cosmetics are here to stay, and are already being introduced in prestigious cosmetic brands to incorporate them into their products. They improve the appearance of the skin by protecting it from environmental aggressors.

Fruits have vitamins, proteins and nutrients that help us to have a healthy organism. However, their properties are excellent for caring for, nourishing and improving our hands and feet. This therapy cares for and rejuvenates the skin and corrects imbalances due to a lack of vitamins and minerals.
