SUPERFOODS
Health Benefits from Fruits, Vegetables, and Other Superfoods
Prevention is a more effective strategy than is the treatment of chronic diseases. Superfoods that contain significant amounts of bioactive components may provide more desirable health benefits beyond basic nutrition, and play important roles in the prevention of chronic diseases. The vast health benefits from having a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is attributed to the combination of these phytochemicals found in superfoods is paramount to chronic disease prevention, and is made possible through the additive and synergistic effects of combining these fruits and vegetables for their potent antioxidant and anticancer activities.
