Miracle Super Foods That Heal

Book excerpt: Superfoods are a concentrated, potent source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, fiber, and the essential amino acids. These foods add alkalinity to our systems, balance us, increase our energy, improve stamina, sharpen mental activity, and deodorize and cleanse the cells and colon. Alfalfa, barley grass, wheat grass, lecithin, spirulina, royal jelly, chlorella, and non-dairy probiotic cultures are all packed with nutrients that strengthen our immune system and neutralize toxins. Superfoods are a return to the basics of the food chain; generally they are organically grown in a chemical-free environment and spray-dried rather than heat dried to preserve vital enzyme activity. These concentrated, nutrient-rich food powders are mixed with water or juice and consumed in liquid form.
