Super Foods

It seems that wherever you go or whatever you are reading there is always news on food. Food that is healthy, food that can heal, food that can kill, food that can make your hair grow or food that can make it fall out. We seem to all know why we need to eat and furthermore we know what foods are "good" or "bad" for us. I was just reading a few articles on health castle, they have a section on super foods and dietary supplements. I found this site very helpful listing many different foods and spices and such. There are separate articles on each of the different types of foods, and even several articles on each individual foods. You can read these articles at the Super Foods article.

Top 10 Smart Foods

I found a great article on Psychology Today website with a list of top 10 foods for a healthy brain. This is good information for todays age where television and the internet seem to sap away what we have left of our brains. Some of the foods may seem to be surprising such as garlic which is generally known to be good for the heart but also helps recover from stress induced illnesses. Others such as fish, like Salmon, which are known to help with memory also help to maintain chemical balances that improve moods. This is a great article to start off my blog because I believe it is one of the many ways food can benefit our bodies both physically and mentally.
