Look 10 Years Younger in 10 Days With These 10 SuperFoods

1. Brazilian Acai - studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most
nutritious and powerful foods in the world! Açaí (ah-sigh-ee) is the high-energy
berry of a special Amazon palm tree. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, açaí
tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate. Hidden within its royal
purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature’s perfect energy fruit. Açaí is
packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Although açaí
may not be available in your local supermarket, you can find it in several health
food and gourmet stores (often in juice form). A new product featuring the
unsweetened pulp is now also available, and I highly recommend that you choose
this form of açaí.

2. Cayenne Pepper - is a member of the plant genus “capsicum” (cap-sih-kum), a
term that comes from the Greek word kapto, which means “to bite”. All peppers
contain compounds called capsaicinoids. This is especially true of cayenne
peppers, which derive their spicy heat, as well as extraordinary
anti-inflammatory, analgesic, heart-healthy effects, from very high levels of
capsaicinoids, the most common form of which is capsaicin. In addition to
capsaicin, Cayenne peppers are high in antioxidant carotenes and flavonoids,
and contain about twice the amount of vitamin C found in citrus fruits. Cayenne
is also great for supercharging your metabolic rate helping you to burn body fat at
a much higher rate.

3. Barley - Not only is barley a low-glycemic grain, it is high in both soluble
and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps the body metabolize fats, cholesterol
and carbohydrates, and lowers blood cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber—commonly
called “roughage”—promotes a healthy digestive tract and reduces the risk of
cancers affecting it (e.g., colon cancer). Dietary fiber is critical to
health—yet few people in our modern society even come close to the recommended
daily intake. Many experts believe that good health begins in the colon, and
without sufficient dietary fiber in the diet, we run the risk of a host of
diseases, ranging from hemorrhoids to colon cancer. The fiber found in barley
provides food for the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. This is
important as the “good” bacteria can crowd out the disease-causing bacteria in
the intestinal tract, resulting in greater health and disease resistance.

4. Garlic - Lowers total cholesterol (but raises HDL–”good”–cholesterol). It
lessens the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), may lower blood
pressure, may reduce the risk of blood clots, destroys infection-causing viruses
and bacteria, produces more “natural killer” cells in the blood to fight
infections, and enhances detoxification by reducing toxins.

5. Wheatgrass - When we talk about “green foods,” we’re referring to a group of
foods that includes young cereal grasses like barley grass and wheat grass.
Nutritionally, they are close cousins to dark green leafy vegetables, but offer
far greater levels of “nutrient density.” In other words, an ounce of these
concentrated green foods contains much more of the beneficial phytonutrients
found in an ounce of green vegetables. The results of many experimental studies
show that green foods have marked beneficial effects on cholesterol, blood
pressure, immune response and cancer prevention. These effects are attributed in
part to their high concentrations of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll, the phytochemical
that gives leaves, plants and algae their green hues, is the plant equivalent of
the oxygen-carrying red pigment hemoglobin in red blood cells. Dietary
chlorophyll inhibits disease bacteria and exerts therapeutic effects on bad
breath and internal odors.

6. Buckwheat - Though it is usually thought of as a grain, buckwheat is actually
the seed of a broadleaf plant related to rhubarb. While it is not a true grain,
it is used like one in cooking, and it surpasses rice, wheat and corn on almost
every measure of healthfulness (including the fact that rice, wheat, and corn are
high on the glycemic scale, thus provoking a quick spike in blood sugar levels, a
proven promoter of systemic inflammation). Buckwheat, on the other hand, ranks
low on the glycemic scale. Hulled buckwheat kernels (called groats) are pale
tan-to-green, while the roasted buckwheat groats known as Kasha—a staple food in
Eastern Europe—are dark brown with a nutty flavor. Kasha is often steamed in a
stock with onions, olive oil, and fresh parsley, and you can combine equal parts
plain buckwheat groats and oats, and cook the mix to enjoy as a hot breakfast
cereal topped with berries. Buckwheat has been cultivated for at least 1,000
years in China, Korea and Japan, where it is often enjoyed in the form of
buckwheat “soba” noodles—a form that’s become increasingly popular in the West as
a healthy substitute for wheat pasta. Buckwheat has more protein than rice,
wheat, millet, or corn, and is high in the essential amino acids lysine and
arginine, in which major cereal crops are deficient. Its unique amino acid
profile gives buckwheat the power to boost the protein value of beans and cereal
grains eaten the same day. Yet, buckwheat contains no gluten—the source of
protein in true grains—and is therefore safe for people with gluten allergy or
celiac disease.

7. FlaxSeed - FlaxSeed essential fatty acids are particularly valuable because
the body needs them to function properly, but can’t manufacture them on its own.
One of the EFAs in flaxseed oil–alpha-linolenic acid–is known as an omega-3
fatty acid. Like the omega-3s found in fish, it appears to reduce the risk of
heart disease and numerous other ailments. Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of
omega-3s: Just 1 teaspoon contains about 2.5 grams, equivalent to more than twice
helps to: Lower cholesterol, Protect against heart disease, Control high blood
pressure, Counter inflammation associated with gout, lupus and fibrocystic
breasts, Control constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticular disorders and
gallstones, Treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, sunburn and rosacea, Promote healthy
skin, hair and nails, Minimize nerve damage that causes numbness and tingling as
well as other disorders, Reduce cancer risk and guard against the effects of
aging, Treat menopausal symptoms, menstrual cramps, female infertility and
endometriosis, Fight prostate problems, male infertility and impotence.

8. Yogurt/Kefir - is a healthy bacteria found in High concentrations in Kefir and
Yogurt. Also known as a Probiotic. In humans, probiotic microbes help the body’s
ongoing fight against infectious diseases by competing with the pathogens for
food, nutrients and survival. This is why human breast milk is rich in
nutritional factors that foster the growth of bifidobacteria—a beneficial
bacterial family that keeps babies’ intestinal ecosystems healthy and
disease-resistant.

9. Alfalfa - is a plant with a long history of use around the world as a
livestock feed. Middle-Eastern cultures have long used alfalfa as fodder for
horses, claiming increased speed and strength of the animals and leading to the
name “Al-fal-fa” meaning “father of all foods.” It is a great source of vitamins
A, C, E, and K4; and minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron.
The alfalfa leaf contains saponins which appear to decrease plasma cholesterol
without creating a change in HDL levels. It also appears to decrease cholesterol
absorption and increase the excretion of neutral steroids and bile acids. Alfalfa
also appears to lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol in people with high cholesterol levels.

10. Soy- is an ingredient for popular products such as soy milk, tofu and soy
sauce. It’s health benefits are widely known. Soy is used for hyperlipidemia,
menopausal symptoms, preventing osteoporosis, and preventing cardiovascular
diseases. It can also be used for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, constipation,
diarrhea, and muscle soreness from exercising. It is most definitely useful
against hyperlipidemia. It reduces total cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein(LDL) levels in both hypercholesterolemic and normocholesterolemic men
and women. Soybeans are also rich in calcium, iron, potassium, amino acids,
vitamins, and fiber. Soy contains all the essential amino acids in sufficient
quantities to support human life. Soy seems to lower blood pressure. (Menopause
2000:7:215-29) It has pharmacological effects that may be beneficial in
preventing cardiovascular diseases. Soy may increase bile acid excretion and up
regulate the low-density lipoprotein(LDL) receptors. Soy protein reduces glucose
levels due to its fiber content. There is evidence that soy improves glycemic
control by inhibiting tyrosine kinase activity, thereby improving the insulin
receptor affinity, improving glucose transport and increasing tissue sensitivity
to insulin.
