What are your preferred super-foods?

You know.. those allegedly awesome foods that is said to improve your health in all sorts of ways Just wondering what you all eat that you feel gives you that extra push towards living well(even if it's just placebo)

For me its:

1. Turmeric. I have known numerous people with arthritis who ate this for about a month and then claimed their pain had miraculously disappeared or decreased. I don't have athritis, but I eat this because i love the taste and I don't mind the potential healthy benefits.

2. Green tea. It makes me feel awesome whenever I drink it, so yea!

3. Chocolate or cacao nibs. Antioxidants and deliciousness all in one!

(4). I got some Moringa powder from someone. I am yet to eat it regularly(havent found a good use yet, as the tea version isnt that tasty), so I don't know if it actually helps anything, but just added this in there because it's an interesting thing. It's got a crapload of vitamin and micro nutrients in it o_o

Superfood is just a marketing tool/phrase.

God I'm slow.

Yes, I think allegedly, that is said to, and placebo, are keywords here. My idea of healthy eating is balance and variety - eating some food from every food group every day, eating food I like in appropriate amounts.

Carbs. And cheese. And meat. Lots of meat. Bell peppers.

Tomorrow maybe something else.

A fresh hot cup of joe. It does so many things, if you catch my drift.

All of my food is pretty super.

Nope, no superfoods for me OP.

There are foods I especially like and they make me feel good - Lindt balls springs to mind - but I don't credit them with any super powers.

This.

I was staying in a Westin last weekend and it was hilarious -- their room service menu had a list of the "super foods" in their various menu options.

Edit: LOL, here's an example (from a different town) on-line: https://www.starwoodhotels.com/pub/media/1045/completed_in-room_dining_menu_12.20.2012.pdf

Rather than worrying about whatever "superfood" is trendy today I simply try to eat a balanced, nutrient-rich diet that is delicious based on my own personal taste.

I don't buy into the "super foods " marketing ploy. Instead I just eat a well balanced diet and don't believe everything I read .
