Hi y'all! I start each day with the Today Show on NBC. I get dressed and straighten up listening. This morning there was a segment on
5 new SUPERFOODS. I took notes, thinking of Steph's post. It was all about addressing our need for alternative foods with increased healthful benefits. Of course they did not speak of *chocolate*. Sorry to report...
ACAI is something new appearing in Health Food Stores. It cannot be ingested so you will find it in -- juices, sorbets, concentrates. Sorbets sound sweet, yes?! ACAI is chock full of antioxidants, increases circulation, is an anti-inflammatory, and has twice the power of blueberries and 10X the benefits of pomegranates!! I keep good notes. I, who have had IBS since '98 during and since Taxotere, cannot eat most any fruit, so I take supplements w/the replicated advantages. (Lycopom, by New Chapter, was recommended by my nut onc/guru having the punch of multiple tomatoes and dozens of pomegrtanates, which I cannot ingest, for example. Lycopom is rich in lycopenes and such.)
Another Superfood --
LAVERBREAD, which equals, according to my notes, A SUPER CLEANER. It binds together all the poisons and toxins in your body, rendering them indigestible. Meredith Vierra face didn't look like it was too tasty, but mixed w/something it could be disguised I suppose, to derive the benefits.
Then
YERBA-MATE. It's an energy booster that doesn't stress the nervous system the way coffee does. Good for skin, with amino acids and green tea.
CUPUAQU. IT'S IN THE COCOA FAMILY, BUT NOT CHOCOLATE! Close but not the same, I know. It's a melon and -- destroys free radicals! It's high in antioxidants and it touted as -- a curative for whatever ails you. It even cleans out your dietary tract! And is good for your skin.
Tht's 4 Superfoods, I know. The phone rang...
Coming to your local Health Food Store, they say. Me, I'm sticking w/my supplements list... The important thing -- stay well and healthy!!!
