Can you imagine that there are actually foods powerful enough to help you lower cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, not to mention, for a little extra, mother nature has through in these super foods the ability to put you in a better mood. These life changing superfoods are available right now in your local supermarket.

The effect that small changes in your diet can make to how you feel is amazing. Even the healthiest of people can make a few tweaks and the impact will be amazing. A healthy diet incorporating a variety of the following foods will help you maintain your weight, fight disease, and live a longer, healthier life. I’ll list the superfoods first and then explain a bit about them. The list begins with beans, blueberries, broccoli, oats, oranges, pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach, tea (black or green) tomatoes, turkey, walnuts and yogurt. None of these are processed; they are the whole natural goodness that mother nature has so kindly given us, to ensure that we all can live healthy and long lives.

• Blueberries are an antioxidant superfood. These berries are also high in potassium and vitamin C; this makes them a top choice for doctors and nutritionists. They help lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, and believe it or not, they are also a natural anti-inflammatory.
• Omega 3-rish fish are superfoods for your heart, joints and memory. You can find this nutrient in flax seed, walnuts and cold water fish, giving us all plenty of opportunities to feel the benefits of this nutrient.
• Soy is a superfood that helps lower cholesterol. Look for tofu, soy milk, or edamame. Sorry to break it to you, but soy sauce doesn’t count. These foods work just as much as statins, the most widely prescribed cholesterol medicine.
• Fiber is the superfood that aids in weight loss. A high fiber diet will help you maintain a healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. But the biggest bonus that fiber offers is the feeling of being full, this is a great tool for weight loss and weight management.
• Tea is the superfood for lowering cholesterol and inhibiting cancer. Both green and black tea have the same antioxidant power, but green tea has ECGC which has shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. To really do your body good, replace soda with tea.
• Calcium, as we all know, helps build strong bones and prevents osteoporosis. To add a little extra excitement, calcium is also shown to help with weight loss. Make sure you have your dose of calcium today. Each age needs a different amount, so make sure you are getting what you need.
• Lastly, the tastiest superfood is dark Chocolate. Research has shown that dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and can lower blood pressure. The darker the chocolate the better it is for lower cholesterol, but it is also lowering in fat and sugar.

This is only a small list of foods that are superfoods, and this list doesn’t even include all the nutritious foods you should be having as part of a healthy diet. Adding these foods will not help you leap tall building in a single bound, but they may make you feel pretty super.
