Top 10 Super Foods
By Rob
One consideration for good health is that of increasing the amount of nutrient rich food that we consume. If our diet is filled with high nutrient density foods like kale, collards, turnip greens or bok choy, then our body is satisfied, has less cravings and eats less. The weight loss implications of this are easy to understand because with high nutrient density foods, we are more fulfilled on less calories.
The following 10 super foods are based on Dr Joel Fuhrman’s research. The more of these you can put into your diet, the way they were brought to you (raw or lightly cooked), the better your health should be.

Here’s some more nutrient dense foods for you:
Seaweed – very mineral rich
Raw chocolate – yes, chocolate – must be raw, unprocessed ie cacao
Hemp – very high in protein
Spirulina – a blue green algae

And, although a little pricey, you should check out Marine Phytoplankton. And not the kind pre-mixed into a beverage (as they only contains a small amount per serving), it is best to take in the pure powder. Being the true beginning of the food chain, this is really getting back to basics. Having a much simpler plant structure than Spirulina or Chlorella, marine phytoplankton is more easily processed and absorbed by the body. As far as taste, well, it’s not a chocolate shake, but is in-line with other “green drinks”, and can be purchased in capsules if preferred.
