Superfood is the term for the best nourishment you can find in order to have your body function properly. Superfood contains essential nutrients your body needs most. That's why superfood is 'hot' right now. Certainly for everyone on a diet or looking to improve their lifestyle and eat healthier..
Here's the reason for the healing power of superfood.
As you probably know, the daily intake of food is the fuel for your body to function properly. Your metabolic system is the engine that uses this fuel to supply to your body the necessary energy to perform tasks (catabolism) and the building blocks to replace all sort of cells (anabolism).
The rebuilding of your body happens every day. Millions of cells have a very short life span and are being replaced frequently. About 7% of your body weight is blood fluid and blood cells, most of which are replaced in about 115-120 days. Your skeleton every three months, your skin every five weeks, your FAT-tissue every three weeks and the cells that line the inside of your stomach every couple of days!
Each year 95% of your body is replaced and here's the most important part of this wonderful system:
"Your body uses everything that goes in through your mouth as building material."
That means everything, including bad fats, sugars and all the other wrong nutrients that you take in will be used to replenish all old cells.
Your body doesn't really care what the input is, it is programmed to take everything it gets and make the best out of it.
Therefore consuming wrong food over a period of time can lead to diseases. After all, your old cells are replaced with new ones using wrong, bad or insufficient elements from your food.
But here's the big secret. The opposite is also true:
"Cells built using wrong nourishment,
can be replaced by good ones ...
simply by eating healthy superfood!"
Did you get that? If not, read that sentence again. It's amazing, isn't it? That's exactly why superfood is so important, even if you haven't taken them before.
Consuming superfood will benefit you and your body. Because doing so will drastically improve the building process of your cells.
Now, here's something that may shock you.
You may be aware of this and take the risk. Why? Because your lust for food is stronger than your desire to live longer and healthier. That's ok. It's YOUR body and you are responsible for it, right?
WRONG!
Scientists find more and more evidence of so called 'Genomic Imprinting', the passing on of genes that are switched on or off depending on environmental circumstances. That's a shocking discovery, because it's probably not only YOUR body that you are affecting, but also that of your children and grandchildren.
Aren't all of your alarm bells ringing yet? Isn't it time to at least consider superfood?
