What are Superfoods?
They are healthy foods that are great for your
immune system, because they are packed with high
amount of nutrients and vitamins. Superfoods
have been heavily marketed as helping with weight
loss and chronic diseases, slowing the aging
process, and even preventing heart diseases.
But is it true? One thing we all need to
understand is... There are no miracle foods. If
you eat 10 goji berries a day expecting to be
thinner, youre going in with the wrong mindset.
In the end of the day, its all about having a
balanced plant-based diet.
