A superfood is a food rich in phytochemicals, which are special compounts that have been noted to have disease-fighting properties. These can reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer, reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune systen, or in some other way contribute significantly to a person being healthier.
Examples of common superfoods that are fruits include blueberries, cranberries, red grapes, pink grapefruit, mangos, mangosteen, papaya, watermelons and tomatoes. What makes these fruits so super is that they are packed with special nutrients like phytochemical. For example, tomatoes are high in lycopene, which may reduce risk for prostate cancer, and high in beta carotene, which may promote greater mental alertness and slow conditions like Alzheimer’s. Vitamin C is another nutrient indicated in anti-aging and possible reduction in risk of developing cancer.
