Initially used to refer to certain foods that have high levels of nutrients combined with disease fighting properties, there is now increasing debate whether the label has become more of a marketing ploy due to lack of standard regulation. While this may be the case with some so-called superfoods, there are still many foods that have been endorsed as "super" by doctors and nutritionists. You may be surprised to find that many of these foods are readily available items that can be effortlessly incorporated into our diets on a regular basis...-By Ruby Yusuf |
