David Wolfe’s Top 10 Superfoods for Health and Longevity

 

“Do you want the best health ever? Get superfoods in your diet!”

David ‘Avocado’ Wolfe, a nutritional and longevity expert, makes this recommendation to anyone who takes their health seriously. “Superfoods are vibrant, nutritionally dense foods packed with highly nourishing properties,” says Wolfe, whose client base includes the likes of Anthony Robbins (self-development guru), Woody Harrelson (actor), and Angela Basset (actress).

Superfoods are a powerful source of vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients that play a pivotal role in peak performance, health, well-being and beauty enhancement. They are the true fuel of today’s “superhero.” You can grab most of these superfoods in your local supermarket, or another option is using a superfood supplement that makes it super convenient to get your daily serving in one glass.

David’s Top 10 Favourite Superfoods:

1. Cacao (Raw Chocolate) – The seed/nut of the fruit of an Amazonian tree, cacao is the highest antioxidant food on the planet. It is the #1 source of antioxidants, magnesium, iron, manganese, and chromium and is also extremely high in PEA, theobromine and anandamide (otherwise known as the “bliss chemical”). Raw Chocolate helps to improve cardiovascular health, build strong bones, is a natural aphrodisiac, elevates your mood and energy, and increases longevity.

2. Goji Berries – are regarded as a longevity, strength-building, and potency food of the highest order and have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 5,000 years. The Goji Berry, otherwise known as the “Wolfberry,” contains 18 kinds of amino acids, including all 8 essential amino acids, up to 21 trace minerals, high amounts of antioxidants, iron, polysaccharides, B and E vitamins, and many other nutrients. Goji berries can be enjoyed as a healthy snack between meals or used in your choice of smoothies, juices, trail mix, desserts, raw chocolate and other sweet treats. Goji berries can also be used to prepare a lovely tea.

3. Maca – Maca is a Peruvian root vegetable containing a variety of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes and every essential amino acid. This adaptogenic superfood increases energy, endurance, strength, and libido and has been used as a staple food in the Peruvian Andes for thousands of years.
