Super Foods For Super Health

Unfortunately we only get one body that has to last us the whole of our life, imagine using something for 70, 80 or even 90 years! Hard to believe and yet that is exactly what we do with our body, we use it and sometimes we abuse it. Thinking about our body having to last an excessive amount of time should really push us into making sure we look after our body. There is a saying you are what you eat and it is so true.

If we feed our body the goodness it needs then in turn our body will be in a much better condition, with this in mind we should first focus on breaking our body down into different parts such as the brain, the heart, the lungs and so on. Knowing which parts of our body will benefit from certain foods will enable us to maintain a healthy balanced diet, something that with the introduction of super foods into our diet we cannot help but achieve.

Super foods are the types of food that have the highest nutritional value and are therefore the ones that you body will most benefit from. By feeding our body all the goodness that it needs we can then give it the best chance of being in peak health which is so vitally important when it comes to our bodies fighting germs and diseases.

Our digestive system is one of the parts of our body that is vital in its need to be kept in a healthy condition and there are many super foods that you can eat that will help so much with the digestive system for example, anything with fibre such as broccoli, apples and cooked kidney beans. As long as your digestive system is working properly and efficiently then you can be sure that it is helping to break down and digest all the vitamins and minerals and fats that your body parts need to maintain peak health.

Fish is considered a really good super food as fish contains Omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for a healthy heart and in turn can have a good effect on your blood pressure. Colourful fruits are also very helpful to your blood pressure. There are also super foods such as spinach and strawberries that will help with different functions within the brain. Garlic is a very good super food and is wonderful for helping fight against illness.

Like everything you need to take things in moderation, if you have too many super foods that are high in fibre then you may do more harm than good with your digestive system having to work overtime, especially bad if you suffer from conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is also safe to say that you do not have to cut out the foods altogether that are not so good for your body, if you supply your body with the right amount of super foods it needs, then providing you make sure it is in moderation, the occasional tasty junk food really cannot do much harm.
