A handful of walnuts has significantly more polyphenols than a glass of apple juice or even a glass of red wine. In one study, a serving of shelled walnuts (fourteen halves) had the polyphenol content of 2.2 servings of red wine.

Magnesium: This important nutrient shows up in impressive amounts in nuts. Magnesium decreases heart arrhythmias and helps prevent hypertension. It’s also critical for normal muscle relaxation, nerve impulse transmission, carbohydrate metabolism, and maintaining healthy tooth enamel. Low magnesium intake is also a risk factor for migraine headaches. Almost half of patients who suffer from migraines have magnesium levels that are below normal.

Reversatrol: This flavonoid, which is found abundantly in grape skins as well as peanut skins, has anticancer properties. It is also an anti-inflammatory and has been associated with helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

Ellagic Acid: This polyphenol is found in high concentrations in nuts, particularly walnuts. Animal research studies have demonstrated that ellagic acid is beneficial in the prevention of cancer by affecting both the activation and detoxification of potential carcinogens.

What is a “Super Food”?

Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for!

These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life.

If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life!

These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status.

This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.

So click around and find recipes and tips on how to incorporate these foods in your daily diet.
