Whole Foods Market offers natural alternatives to the supermarket. And now they're getting into the podcasting business. This month, their topic is superfoods. What are superfoods? It's not some advertising hype, they're an antioxidant. But instead of being a dictionary where I'll define one word you don't know with another, I'll stop it here and explain that antioxidants help protect the body from wear and tear, while strengthening the immune system, muscles, bones and skin. They do this by stabilizing cell-damaging “free radicals” that form as we use energy and age. Unhealthy processed and sugary foods, stress, excessive exercise, extended sun exposure and some chemicals in our environment also spur free radical production. The more antioxidants present in the body, the less damage free radicals can cause. Blueberries, pomegrantes, and Goji berries are great examples of fun and tasty “superfoods”.
