"Make sure that you get outstanding nutrition through superfoods so you're getting all the vitamins and minerals in their natural plant-based forms that the human body needs. If you do this even for a very short period—such as 30 days—you will begin to see measurable improvements in your cardiovascular health. You can run this experiment yourself with the help of a naturopath. In just 30 days, things will begin to turn around. Your cholesterol will begin to come back into balance. Your blood profiles and blood lipids will improve dramatically. Liver function will improve." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"These compounds by themselves would be enough to land blueberries on anyone's list of superfoods. But the blueberries do even more. They actually help neurons in the brain communicate with one another more effectively. BLUEBERRIES KEEP YOUR MEMORY SHARP "Old neurons are kind of like old married couples," Joseph says. "They don't talk to each other so much any more." Memory goes down, and the "processing" necessary for coordination and balance will tend to decline." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"Nicholas Perricone picked it as one of his ten top antiaging superfoods and it was subsequently featured on Oprah, giving this little Brazilian native instant celebrity. Does it deserve the hype? The answer is a qualified maybe. I'd never call the acai berry one of the ten top antiaging foods on the planet. But put the acai berry into a search engine and you'll find no shortage of ringing endorsements and glowing testimonials about its powerful health benefits. Unfortunately, most of these come from companies that are marketing acai berry juice." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"He gave up a few of the least healthy foods and started consuming the healthy superfoods (plus a few supplements) that I recommend in my articles, and began some exercise. The result? His cholesterol and triglycerides dropped sharply, down to normal ranges. At his next visit for a checkup, his doctor was astonished and couldn't believe that food changes alone could have such a powerful effect on cholesterol. Even his doctor didn't know that food is medicine! This is not surprising to me, though it maybe to you." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "They collectively insist that information about health should be kept from the public—that this information is dangerous and that people should never be allowed to learn the truth about what kinds of plants, superfoods, or supplements can help them heal. As a direct example of that, consider the fact that today it is illegal for a manufacturer of a nutritional supplement to make any health claims whatsoever on the bottle containing that supplement." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "It would turn health food store owners into criminals, and would result in the mass confiscation of nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and even superfoods. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. -Margaret Mead, Anthropologist And what's the purpose behind this Codex initiative? Its only purpose is to further restrict health freedoms; to tighten Big Pharma's iron grip on consumers and deny them access to the very things that could help them be healthy individuals." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Thus, prescription drugs are killing at least as many Americans as cigarettes did, and today we have doctors not only promoting prescription drugs (and sometimes being paid to prescribe them to patients), but even discrediting alternatives that are completely safe, such as nutrition, superfoods, whole food concentrates, vitamins, minerals and other supplements that prevent chronic disease. The medical industry has been bought by financial interests. Medical schools are primarily drug schools." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Phenomenal Health and Fitness Secret Eat Highly Mineralized Meals and superfoods and You'll Never Gain Another Pound Forget grams of protein, grams of fat, and grams of carbohydrates for a minute. I want you to think about minerals and vitamins. If you eat synthetically enriched, processed grains; mineral-poor, corn-fed cattle; and vegetables grown in mineral depleted soils, you can get all the carbohydrates, fats and proteins you'll ever need. What you won't get is the nutrients to support your body's functions. Highly mineralized foods are the next health food wave?" - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.) "Eat superfoods that have calcium and magnesium. Cacao, pumpkin seeds and sea vegetables. Doing all these three things will greatly improve your chances of living with healthier bones! I'm busy! What do I eat at restaurants? Here are a few guidelines that we use. 1. Salads. Get a salad with olive oil and lemon dressing. Ask for the oil on the side and have them bring you a couple slices of lemon. Don't eat the dressings they have at the restaurant. They have tons of sugar in them. 2. Ask for sauce on the side." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.) "These foods are not just the "ordinary" superfoods like the cherry, the avocado or extra virgin olive oil. These foods are from the corners of the world and they will pack a super punch into your everyday diet. Super-food # I: Cacao (Raw Chocolate) Want more energy? Try some raw chocolate. Raw chocolate is among the most powerful sources of magnesium on the planet. Not only does magnesium help with alertness and activity, it also helps elevate your mood. Magnesium is one of the most deficient minerals in the human body." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"These two superfoods are also called "micro-algae" since they are a type of algae. When used together, they contain amazing amounts of almost everything we need for excellent health. Many consider them to be a whole food. Some green formulas contain chlorella, which is rich in chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, minerals, and is one of the richest sources of nutrients on the planet. Chlorella belongs to the eukaryotic family of algae which means "visible nuclei." It is a small single-celled plant that grows in fresh water. Chlorella means "small green leaf." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.) "I could go on and on about the great benefits of these two superfoods but you should check these out for yourself. Check the reference pages and websites. ORGANIC FOOD AND WHOLE-FOOD SUPPLEMENTS Let's take a look at natural whole (organic) food." Organic food is intended to be eaten in its pure form. These whole foods are foods that have been produced by nature and are kept in their natural organic state until eaten. These are natural foods that have not been sprayed, preserved, or altered in any way. This is the way we need to be eating our food." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.) "These two superfoods spirulina and chlorella have no toxins and are rich in phytonutrients such as phycocyanin, polysaccharides, and sulfo-lipids. Phytonutrients enhance the immune system and help cut the risk of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Chlorella is a superhealthy food that helps detoxify the body of heavy metals that have accumulated over a lifetime. Even small amounts of this plant can help the body repair DNA and give you much more needed energy. Chlorella and spirulina should definitely become part of your diet." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"You also get a tremendous amount of calcium from superfoods such as spirulina, which contains a large amount of calcium and other trace minerals found in ocean waters where spirulina is grown and harvested. For osteoporosis, make sure you get plenty of natural sunlight into your diet, because, once again, sunlight is critical nutrition for human health. To prevent Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders simply change your diet. Or if you're talking about your children, change their diet." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"By outlawing the truth about the healing benefits of nutritional supplements, the FDA has been able to suppress information about the positive effects of vitamins, minerals, herbs, superfoods and other natural health products. It has outlawed the truth by saying that these companies cannot make true claims on their labels. It is well known, for example, that a trace mineral, chromium, enhances insulin sensitivity. Yet, makers of chromium supplements cannot state that on their labels without risking the wrath of the FDA." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Even if a person is consuming an all-raw vegan diet, the habit of typically overeating sugar and fat, and undereating green-leafed vegetables (while trying to make up for it with superfoods such as spirulina) leads to a slightly acid and constricted body chemistry - leaving one tuned-out, just a bit. This condition is alleviated by Sacred white sage contains thujone alkaloids which are likely the primary source of its magical properties. smoking marijuana, hence the desire." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"You may ask, "If this is all true, what about nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, superfoods and other things that nutritionists recommend, aren't those also biohacking?" Absolutely not. Nutritional supplements complement the body; they don't interfere with it or attempt to override it. When you consume nutritional supplements made from whole foods and whole food concentrates, you are complementing the natural ability of your body to fight off disease, heal injury and achieve a healthy mental state on its own, using its own blueprint for healing and health." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"I've also provided a list of different ideas and recipes on how to get creative with these superfoods! Phenomenal Health and Fitness Secret The economics of breads, corn and pastas have put them on our plates, not their nutrient values. Wheat flour, pastas, corn and breads are products of poor societies. The Egyptians used to pay their slaves in unleavened bread, because it was cheap and could keep them satiated. But the nutrient content of these breads was not rich, which led to the spread of diseases. You can trace this up through history. I'm Italian." - Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo, The Busy Person's Fitness Solution (Get the book.)

"And that means consuming high density superfoods that contain dense nutrition without extra calories. With nutritional supplementation, and by avoiding all the foods that cause disease, you can prevent 90% of all chronic disease. This same approach can also reverse a large number of existing diseases, as long as those diseases haven't progressed to the point where they have caused permanent damage. Conventional medicine is a system of disease-care, not healthcare, but disease-care that primarily treats patterns of symptoms resulting from nutritional imbalances." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "Heart disease is also strongly aided by the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients found in superfoods, whole foods, and organic food concentrates that you find in nutritional supplements. If you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease, simply avoid all excitotoxins such as MSG and aspartame. Make sure you avoid mercury and aluminum by avoiding toxic chemicals in personal care products such as deodorants and shampoos that are made with toxic fragrance chemicals.

"One of the finest superfoods in nature is chlorella, a single-celled freshwater microscopic green algae. I could write a whole book just on chlorella's amazing attributes and practical applications. Capable of reproducing itself four times every 24 hours, chlorella is the fastest growing plant on earth. It also contains more chlorophyll and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) than any other known plant. It's no surprise that chlorella is the number one food supplement in land-scarce Japan, where it is used regularly by 10 million people. Chlorella is being investigated in the West as a "land saver." - Brendan Brazier, The Thrive Diet: The Whole Food Way to Lose Weight, Reduce Stress, and Stay Healthy for Life (Get the book.)

"Practice a healthy mindset of skepticism, especially about any claims of the health benefits of pharmaceuticals, surgical procedures, or for that matter, even things like nutritional supplements and superfoods. This skepticism should apply to all areas of your life, and you should always question the motives of the companies that are putting messages and offers into your hands. What is the motive of the company that runs $100 million in drug advertising for a prescription drugs?" - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"The idea for optimal energetic balance is to add the high-ojas superfoods to your typical live-food diet, so the live-food diet strongly builds the ojas and prana. This unique perspective gives us an insight from Ayurveda into why the ancient great spiritual masters known as the Rishis, as well as Taoist masters, tended to eat not only vegan, but live food, with an emphasis on wildcrafted foods and high-soma herbs and foods." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"Naturally-chelated Mineral isolates are at least three times more assimilable (in superfoods Spirulina, etc.) than Minerals contained in ordinary foods. When a Mineral is only partially surrounded, it is a complex, as gluconic acid, sulfuric acid, and citric acid, or ferrous gluconate, ferrous sulfate, and ferrous citrate. Chelation absorption site is the upper part of the small intestine having a negative charge (-). Inorganic Mineral salts (oxides, phosphatides, and carbonates) have a positive charge (+), and 115 absorption." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.) "Naturallychelated Mineral isolates are three times more assimilable (in the superfoods Spirulina, et. al). Minerals are water-soluble, and affect the body alkaline/acid balance. Negatively-charged molecules can pass through the pores in the intestinal wall, because the wall is negatively-charged. Positively-charged molecules pass out of the body in the bowel. Most Minerals are positively-charged, and have a low percentage of absorption." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)

"Pregnancy Superfoods There are certain superfoods that add significant benefits to the prepregnancy, prenatal, and lactation nutrition program. One of the most important of these is brewer's yeast. It is 40-50% protein and is particularly high for a vegetarian food in RNA and DNA. It is one of the best food sources of the total B-complex in the most natural form. It is known as one of the best foods to stimulate breast milk production. It contains high amounts of minerals such as selenium, zinc, iron, and chromium—all needed during pregnancy and nursing." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.)

"Nature's First Food, powdered grasses, chlorella), young wild coconuts (not sugary Thai coconuts), raw coconut oil butter, raw cacao butter, a wide-variety of low-sugar fruits and (only if necessary, but not recommended) one mildly medium-sized sweet fruit or small fruit serving per day (berries are best). A food that provides particularly excellent benefits is raw coconut oil butter. Coconut oil butter is easily digested and is excellent for people who have trouble digesting fats." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)
