Super foods

You might have heard this term "Superfood" a number of times and specially in recent years when focus is increasing on healthy life style and healthy eating. But what exactly is "Super food" ?
There is no exact or concrete meaning of super food but i will try to explain it here for your better understanding. So the Oxford Dictionary describes "Superfood" as

"A nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being"

It do not say much , is it ? So lets talk in layman's language "Superfood" is any food which is packed with large amount of nutrients which can help your body in not only fight the diseases but also help you live a longer and healthier life.

Before i go any deeper into the topic, i would like to mention that its best to not to rely on just on superfood. Its the combination which is helpful for the body. Also processed foods even if they are vegetables and fruits which you buy from super markets might be less rich in nutrients. 

The lucky thing for humans is, most of these superfoods are not expensive, you would be surprised to find them already lying around in your kitchen. So read the below list and start searching your kitchen ;)
