3 WHAT ARE SUPERFOODS? Superfoods are healing foods that have been used by people of various cultures around the world for thousands of years. Olive oil and Spirulina are two of the most well known Superfoods. So although they form a relatively new category in modern nutrition, they are foods that have been the most time-tested out of all the newly fabricated, processed and toxin filled food on the market today. The class of foods entitled Superfoods signifies a technological breakthrough in understanding of the natural and ideal human diet. We have discovered the appropriate foods and herbs that benefit everyone with maximum nutrition, flavour, health benefits and energy, as well as minimum calories and no trans fatty acids. Each and every human being has the inalienable right to pursue noble ideals. Because we were all born into the world with one known principle You are what you eat!

4 CACAO Who knew raw chocolate was a health food? Cacao turns out to be one of nature s most fantastic superfoods. The cacao bean is what all chocolate is made from. Chocolate bars get a bad press because of all the other stuff usually mixed in them - the high sugar content, hydrogenated fats, and dairy products. But Chocolate in its purest form, that of the raw cacao bean, has amazing health-giving properties. It is the number one dietary source of magnesium - one reason why many women crave it around the time of menstruation - and it is exceptionally high in sulphur, the beauty mineral. Added to that, it is rich in antioxidants, it is a natural antidepressant, AND an aphrodisiac! In fact, it contains over 300 identifiable chemical compounds, making it one of the most complex foods known to man. Anandamide is known as the bliss chemical because it is released while we are feeling great. Cacao contains enzyme inhibitors that decrease our bodies ability to break down anandamide. This means that natural anandamide and/or cacao anandamide may stick around longer, helping us feel good longer, when we eat cacao. Cacao nibs - are ready peeled and kibbled Cacao beans. They can be added to smoothies, or ground up in a coffee grinder, spice mill, or high powered blender and added to recipes in place of cocoa or carob powder. On their own they are very bitter! Cacao powder - this is compressed cacao powder, with the fats removed for a super concentrated chocolate experience. As well as being the most superbly chocolately tasting raw product around, it has an anti-oxidant rating which is off the scale. This powder is very easy to use: just add a spoonful to sweets, desserts, or smoothies. Cacao butter is created through a proprietary cold-pressed method. This process begins by cold-pressing raw, organic Cacao Nibs into a cake in such a way that the oil begins to separate from the protein and fiber. The temperature is never allowed to exceed (or even reach) 120 degrees Fahrenheit and is usually 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

7 GOJI BERRIES Goji berries grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate and subtropical regions of China, Mongolia and the Himalaya Mountains of Tibet. Goji berries have been used for 6,000 years by herbalists in China, Tibet and India as they are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. One of zeaxanthin s key roles is to protect the retina of the eye by absorbing blue light and acting as an antioxidant. In fact, increased intake of foods containing zeathanthin may decrease the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 65. protect the liver help eyesight improve sexual function and fertility strengthen the legs boost immune function improve circulation promote longevity

8 Maca Like all the best supplements, maca is not concocted in a laboratory somewhere, but is a root vegetable that grows in the Andes mountains of Peru. No other food plant in the world survives at such high altitudes - up to 14,000 feet above sea level! In Peru it is considered a staple part of the diet: the potato-like tuber can be baked, or the ground-up powder is added to meals, and the Peruvians have been using it as an energy enhancer for over 2,000 years. Like Aloe vera, maca is an adaptogen, meaning that it works to support the body wherever it is needed, without any harmful side effects. So like Aloe, maca is used by people for many different ailments, or simply just as an immune system booster. Maca is wonderful for increasing energy, strength and stamina. It is full of minerals, vitamins, and protein, containing many of the essential amino acids, and particularly rich in calcium and magnesium, so it can help to deal with any deficiencies in the diet. It is also very popular among both men and women for its ability to balance hormones. It is often taken by women suffering during the menopause, or with PMT, and it increases libido (it s sometimes known as Peruvian Viagra!), and helps with fertility issues. It contains plant sterols, the natural form of steroids, and is used by athletes to help improve performance. Because it gives you such a boost, it is particularly helpful for people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome or are depressed. Recommended dosage: Maca can have a very powerful effect on you as it balances out your body, so beware! It is better to start out with small amounts. Once your system has adjusted, you can eat as much as you like!

10 MESQUITE Mesquite meal is a traditional Native American food produced by gathering ripened seed pods from the mesquite tree and grinding them into a fine powder. Used as a staple food for centuries by desert dwellers, this high protein meal contains good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is rich in the amino acid lysine as well.

Noni helps improve digestion, maintain blood sugar levels, and deeply cleanse toxins from the body. It also has anti-bacterial, antifungal and anti-microbial properties.

12 VANILLA According to Totonac mythology, the tropical orchid was born when godess Xanat fell in love with a Totonac warrior. She was forbidden by her father from marrying a mortal, so Xantah fled into the forest with her lover. The lovers were captured and beheaded, and in the place where their blood touched the ground the first vine of the tropical orchid grew so that the blossoming and fruiting of this heavenly plant would provide the Totonac people with a source of eternal happiness. Vanilla is a legendary aphrodisiac! In Mesoamerica, only royalty was served beverages with vanilla because they felt only they deserved the value of its aphrodisiac quality. Modern science has proven what native people figured out centuries ago, and many of us discovered on our own -- whether you prefer to eat, drink, or smell it, vanilla is definitely a potent character in the arena of love! Vanilla has been noted to calm a queasy stomach, as an antidote to stress, to be helpful in weight loss and in general to enhance the mood.
