From omega-3-rich seeds to cancer-fighting spices, we take a look at the less well-known superfoods you should introduce to your shopping basket.
First up is the adzuki bean which is a red bean that has one of the highest antioxidant ratings among superfoods and is a good source of carbohydrates, vegetable protein and soluble fiber that can help blood cholesterol levels. It also has high levels of potassium which can help lower high blood pressure and zinc, which helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and protects joints from inflammation.

All this is great but on three of the items above you dont say what they are called??? you explain what they look like but what are they called??? The reality is a balanced diet that includes all these and many other things will help with health but they are not a preventive or a cure they can just help improve your chances. People need vto becareful of spending loads of moeny on these items thinking it will cure or stop cancer or other serious ailments - it won't and can't all it can do is improve your health. Exercise, healthy eating, stress relieving activities (i.e Meditation) can help a lot but it isn't a magic bullet. 80% of the time stay on a very healthy diet and 20% relax and have a little fun it wont do any harm at all.

Maria et al. The point here is the general meaning was clear - healthy diet. Perhaps I didnt go inot enough detail for you all - Yes they are named but not all in the body text. Good information means it is easy to see and find details and names not have to search. If 90% are named in the main body of text then all should follow suite that is GOOD clear simple communication. As to glasses I have 20/20 vision perhaps you should stop trying to be clever and just read it for what it was - that is about a healthy diet and not spending lots of money thinking there is a magic bullet here. Also they need to get their facts right Mangoes are not just indigenous to West Africa they also grow in East & Central Africa where I have eaten many of them. Later on someone will debunk these so called super foods just like they always do. Just eat them and enjoy them for their wonderful taste and variety and if they help your health then that is just a bonus don't set of to use them as a cure all that is just plain dumb.

All these foods are and have been prioven many years ago to be superfoods,HOWEVER,the thing that concerns me is,for example,the source of such mentioned foods as Spirulina (chinese version).This has very recently been proven to be very high in Radioactivity due to the Fukishima incident.To consmue this in the quatitites often encouraged for long periods of time is very risky,also one must take into account the other ways in which we are subjected to radioactivity through foods etc.
Just because this isnt mentioned in mainstream media doesnt mean its not something that can be a "soft kill" factor for many thousands of people ingesting these things one way or another. As we all should be aware,the Males sperm count has been dropping each decade since the 1950's,this co-incides with massive use of pesticides in agriculture not to mention the emergence of GM foods etc.
In children,Asthma has gone up 80% in recent years....another co-incidence??...hardly!
Also in children,Autism has also gone from completely unheard of to being very common.....all this has occurred because of CHANGES TO OUR FOODS,MEDICINES AND ENVIRONMENT,PLEASE WAKE UP AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR BEING LIED TO PEOPLE

these all are good but they need to let people know there is a big difference in quality depending on where they are grown, for example Hawaiian Spirulina is the best quality as it has the best growing conditions and the chinese spirulina is low grade and has very little health benefits in comparison.
