3.SPIRULINA:
Spirulina is Extremely High in Many Nutrients. Spirulina is an organism that grows in both fresh and salt water. It is a type of bacteria called cyanobacterium, which is often referred to as blue-green algae. Just like plants, cyanobacteria can produce energy out of sunlight, via the process called photosynthesis.
Spirulina is a natural “algae” (cyanbacteria) powder that is incredibly high in protein and a good source of antioxidants, B-vitamins and other nutrients. When harvested correctly from non-contaminated ponds and bodies of water, it is one of the most potent nutrient sources available.
4.CACAO RAW CHOCOLATE:
It can improve your memory, increase your bliss, reduce heart disease, shed fat, boost immunity, and create loads of energy.
A sufficient amount of fiber delivered with each serving of cacao supports digestion while cacao stimulates the body’s production of digestive enzymes.
5.GOJI BERRY AND ACAI BERRY:
Acai berry has been cherished by the Amazonian people for centuries. This unique berry has an extraordinary amount of antioxidants that protect the tissues and cells of the body, plus acai contains phytonutrients that make it one of the most well publicized superfoods among health enthusiasts.
It is important to remember that acai does contain fructose sugar, as all fruits and berries do. For optimal health, we want to consume very low amounts of fructose and high amounts of antioxidants. This is why consuming an organic, minimally processed acai berry extract or powder that has very small amounts of sugar and is in its purest possible form is most effective
6.KALE AND MACA:
Kale is actually a form of cabbage that evaded domestication, sharing many of the same traits as wilder plant relatives unafraid of holding on to their bitter principle, and relatively unruly appearance.
Kale is also an excellent source of magnesium,which is why it ts green. That deep, dark chlorophyll within its leaves contains one atom of magnesium per molecule. And considering how many of us are dying from excess elemental calcium, adding additional sources of magnesium (which acts to balance out calcium) can have live-saving health benefits.
7. BLUEBERRIES:
Blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity, making them highly protective for the cardiovascular system. They contain pterostilbene, which lowers cholesterol, and anthocyanins, which improve vision and brain function and guard against macular degeneration.
