Looking for a rich anti oxidant source? Just head to the local juice shop and order up an Acai bowl…right? Not exactly. Super food? Yes. Rich in antioxidants? Sure. However, insomuch as we default to the all too common mode of thinking that if a little is good, a lot must be great, we have […]
Read More ›This “Super” Food is one that stands out from some of the others I’ve been writing about this week for one very important reason: it’s a great source of iodine.

Read More ›The super food of the day is…Goji Berries! Considered as an incredibly significant herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, goji berries are one of the most nutritionally-rich fruits, providing you with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-aging benefits.
