Recent research has uncovered fourteen different nutrient-dense diet foods that consistently promote good overall health. Dubbed superfoods, they tend to have fewer calories, higher levels of vitamins and minerals, and a lot of disease-fighting antioxidants.
Beans (legumes), the berries (blueberries in particular), broccoli, green tea, nuts (walnuts in particular), oranges, pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach, tomatoes, turkey, whole grains & oats, and yogurt help to stop and even reverse diseases like hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and certain forms of cancer. And where one can have an effect on a certain part of the body, it can also affect the health of other body functions and performance, because the whole body is connected. With these fourteen foods as the basis of a balanced, solid diet, gimmicks related to weight-loss and other fly-by-night programs will become a thing of the past.

Conversely, ill-effects of an unbalanced diet are several and varied. Fatigue, mood swings, being tired all the time, weight change, and being uncomfortable with your body are just a few signs that your diet is wrong for you. An unbalanced diet can cause issues with maintenance of body tissues, growth and development, brain and nervous system functioning, and problems with bones and muscles.
Symptoms of malnutrition include lack of energy, irritability, a weakened immune system leading to frequent colds and allergies, and mineral depletion that can trigger a range of health issues, including anemia.
Therefore as the body is connected, realizing that an unhealthy body will result in an unhealthy spirit makes sense. If we feed our bodies with these super foods and supplement with other nutritious and healthy, fresh foods, our spirit will be vitalized and healthy as a direct result.
