Mainstream media has been focusing a lot of attention lately on these so called "SuperFruits", but what exactly are they? Today I'm here to answer this question for you and provide you with GetHealthy products that are sure to boost your body into Super drive...
You've heard of Superfoods, but…Superfruits? Not every fruit qualifies. Those deemed "super" by nutrition scientists are packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals, and other nutrients that can help you live longer, look better, and even prevent disease.The term "superfruit" has been applied to acai berries, maqui berries, yumberries, chokeberries, goji berries, lingonberries, lychee berries — a lot of berries, in other words, but also baobabs, mangosteens, sea buckthorn, jujube fruit, cupuacus, pitayas, pomegranates ... the list keeps growing.
Those who believe in superfruit super powers generally say they come, in large part at least, from the antioxidants the superfruits contain. Claims of nutritional glories vary from superfruit to superfruit, but high antioxidant content is generally on the list, most likely at the top.
The logic seems simple enough: Antioxidants are good for you. Superfruits have more antioxidants than your average fruit. Therefore, superfruits are very good — super good — for you.
Here are some SuperFruits, just to name a few, offered at Get Healthy Vitamins and Supplements:
Açaí Berry
Açaí deserves the hype it gets, thanks to weapons grade antioxidant levels that clobber other Superfruit rivals like blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries. However, because this tiny berry hails from Brazil, it's not easy to find fresh. Here are Get Healthy we offer a liquid version, high concentrate Açaí Juice by the brand Genesis Today. It is know to enhance energy, appearance and overall health by supplying high levels of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, antioxidants and more.
Goji Berry
The goji berry is also called the Wolfberry. It is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that's native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hopes of living longer. Over time, people have used goji berries to treat many common health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, fever, and age-related eye problems. Goji berries are eaten raw, cooked, or dried (like raisins) and are used in herbal teas, juices, wines, and medicines. Get your daily Goji Berry fix at Get Healthy, Genesis Today offers a high concentrate juice that is definitely worth trying. Goji berries also have compounds rich in vitamin A that may have anti-aging benefits. These special compounds help boost immune function, protect vision, and may help prevent heart disease. Some research suggests that goji berry extracts may boost brain health and may protect against age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Other studies using goji berry juice found benefits in mental well-being, and calmness, athletic performance, happiness, quality of sleep, and feelings of good health. These are preliminary studies that need to be repeated before definitive conclusions can be drawn.
Noni Berry
The noni berry is the fruit of the evergreen shrub known as canary wood, which is native to tropical areas of the South Pacific and Australia. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine states that noni has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants neutralize rogue free radicals--oxygen molecules that are not paired with cells and float freely through the body--that mutate otherwise healthy cells. Noni Berry may also serve as a cancer preventer, cholesterol reducer, and anti fungal treatment. The Juice by Genesis today offered at Get Healthy Vitamins and Supplements enhances detoxification, healthy immunity and digestion with over 160 novel natural compounds like phytonutrients, anthraquinones and more.
Mangosteen
Mangosteen is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia that is harvested for its antioxidants, especially xanthones, a type of chemical in certain plants. Mangosteen is promoted to support microbiological balance, help the immune system, improve joint flexibility, and provide mental support. Some proponents claim that it can help diarrhea, infections, tuberculosis, and a host of other illnesses. In countries where the tree grows, various parts of the plant are used by native healers. The fruit juice by Genesis Today encourages healthy inflammatory, immune and cardiovascular function with powerful antioxidants, polyphenols, xanthones and tannins.
