What Are Superfoods?

The term "superfood" is a big buzzword in the media and among health consumers, but what does it really mean? In my opinion, it suggests that the food is more nutritionally dense and, therefore, more healthy, than non-superfoods. It makes sense that in order to become more healthy, you might decide to eat more super foods.

The problem, however, is that there is neither an exact definition or standards of what constitutes one of these foods, nor an inclusive/exclusive list. Things become more chaotic when magazines, media, and Dr. Oz seem to introduce a brand new superfood every week. Is it really feasible to eat a diet consisting of all of these super foods in well-balanced proportions according to your metabolic type and caloric needs without becoming completely neurotic? Most likely, no, but there is good news..

As more and more foods get added to the "super food" list, there will be fewer and fewer foods that are not considered "super foods". In the end, it is likely that every non-processed, non-GMO, organic, whole-food from healthy soil, will be on the list and everything else will be off. At this point, it is simply a matter of eating what you like and what works with your body. ]

So back to my original question, "What are super foods?" Essentially, they are any food that has not been tampered with by humans. Meaning, every food is a superfood, and therefore, no food is a superfood. How's that for an answer?
