How This Helps

Medicinal Superfoods to Grow In Your Garden

Hippocrates 413 BC (father of modern medicine) “Let
food be thy medicine & thy medicine be thy food. All health starts in the
gut”.

At the end of WWII, we had victory gardens where people grew
45% of our food chain in our own backyards. Now, we now grow <0.01% completely outsourcing our food & our health. Healing through diet has been lost to Western Medicine, which is now focused on merely masking symptoms. Let’s be proactive and prevent illness healthfully!

Earth provides all the things we naturally need to be healthy. This means anything from pure nature, is here to help us. This idea is reflected in the proposed shift of the food pyramid to move grains to the top & focus on nutrient-dense foods.

What are superfoods?

The expression “superfood” is a relatively new
term referring to foods offering maximum nutritional benefits for minimal
calories. They’re packed with nutrients minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. No government based legal definitions classify any food for
a superfood at this moment. But most superfoods are plant-based. Superfoods are essentially foods that are known to have a
very high nutrient density. This means that they provide a considerable number
of nutrients and hardly any calories. They have a high quantity of minerals, vitamins, and
antioxidants.

Antioxidants are natural molecules that exist in certain
types of foods that help neutralize the “bad” free radicals present
in our bodies. How do free radicals form? They are byproducts of energy
production that can wreak havoc physically.

Antioxidant molecules reverse or decrease the effects of
free radicals which have close links with many health issues such as heart
disease, arthritis, stroke, and respiratory conditions.

Superfoods aren’t going to fix all the medical conditions
known to man. Adding superfoods as part of daily nutrient intake is great but
in moderation in a healthful, balanced diet in general.

Besides being packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional
supplements, a number of these ingredients are stated (some even demonstrated )
to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, improve brain
health, even help you lose weight with many more health benefits.  You can never go wrong with whole produce and
their friends nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

What defines superfoods?

A superfood is a complete food with high nutrient density.
Usually plant-based, superfoods are full of antioxidants, minerals, and
vitamins. There are no conventional criteria or an approved list of superfoods,
according to the American Heart Association. Because of this, amongst others,
many nutritionists avoid using the term to prevent unrealistic expectations of
protection against chronic diseases.

Superfoods you can grow

Studies have demonstrated that superfoods high in flavonoids
and antioxidants help stop coronary heart disease and cancer, in addition to
improving immunity and diminishing inflammation.

Regularly eating fruits and veggies also has strong
relationships with a lower risk of several lifestyle-related health conditions
and general mortality. The nutrients that they contain help promote a healthy
complexion, nails, and hair and boost energy levels. They can also help
maintain a healthful weight.
