Dear brother Prof. Emad,

I have also heard of superfoods as helpful to the building of a resilient immune system to combat prevalent diseases. These foods are many and the list is unending. I have heard of wild rice, papaya, spinach, Brazil nuts, Avocados, sweet potatoes, Broccoli, Almonds, Dark greens of vegetables and the like. They are basically vegetables and fruits and whole grains.

I copied the information below from this link and I think it would be helpful. Superfoods and their medical benefits.

1. Papaya

Papaya’s health benefits are almost countless. It is rich in tropical goodness as well as key flavonoids that help your body fight cancer cells. Carotenes in the fruit helps prevent oral cavity and lung cancer, and other ingredients contribute to the management of free radicals, which damage cells in the body. Other benefits of papaya include:

Assistance with the control of blood pressure

Anti-amoebic characteristics that contribute to regular bowel movements

The prevention of blood clots through the enzyme fibrin

Increased glow in skin when used in facial treatments

Healthier digestion

2. Brazil Nuts

Traditional weight-loss wisdom says to stay away from fatty nuts, but diet experts have learned that monounsaturated fats that come in healthy nuts lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy snack. The nutritional benefits of brazil nuts don’t end there they also provide:

Selenium, which increases antioxidants in the body and fights heart disease and cancer

Vitamin E, which helps protect the body from free radicals and maintain skin membrane

A combination of vitamins and minerals that provide metabolic health

Copper to prevent bone weakness and anemia

Manganese to help create superoxide dismutase, an important antioxidant enzyme

3. Spinach

Like broccoli and kale, spinach is loaded with properties that enhance health across your entire body. According to researchers, spinach contains over a dozen flavonoids that are beneficial in fighting cancer and inflammation in the body. The benefits of Spinach for your health are amazing, here are some to name a few:

Protection against eye disease

Strengthening of bones

Balancing of the high acidic content of most American diets

Boosting brainpower through omega-3 fatty acids

Boosting the immune system with high concentrations of several essential vitamins

ALL the best my brother and good health to you.

What Are Superfoods?

Must read article!

Superfoods are foods — mostly plant-based but also some fish and dairy — thought to be nutritionally dense and thus good for one's health. Blueberries, salmon, kale and acai are just a few examples of foods that have garnered the "superfood" label. 

However, there are no set criteria for determining what is and what is not a superfood, according to the American Heart Association...

Dear Emad Kamil Hussein

The term Super Food is very general, because there are several specific Super Foods to improve or prevent certain diseases, such as certain teas to increase diuresis and decrease risk of kidney stones; Decrease in foods rich in saturated fats to improve digestion and decrease the risk of gallstones and gallstones; Or increase the amount of polyunsaturated fats to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and brain diseases; etc.

Ljubomir Jacić's commentary is general but at the same time synthetic and informative and is the one that guides the most towards the understanding of the so-called Super Foods.

If there is a diet that deserves the name Super Food, it is the Mediterranean Diet, which brings together many of the benefits observed and investigated in nutritional components:

• Low in simple carbohydrates and rich in complex carbohydrates
• Low in saturated fat and rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (including Omega 3 and 6)
• Balanced in easily digestible proteins and preferably fresh and unprocessed, such as white meat (poultry, fish).
• Rich in mineral salts that maintain the hydroelectrolytic balance, such as sodium, chlorine and potassium, calcium, magnesium (AT, body hydration, blood circulation, neuromuscular activity)
• Trace elements that intervene in the metabolic response during the acute phase of immunity (trace elements: iron, copper, selenium, zinc, magnesium).
• It also contains the vegetables and fruits that provide most of the vitamins required by the body, including vitamins: A, B, C, D, E; And which are simultaneously Pre-Biotic (indispensable for the best action of the Pro-Biotics)
• Content of Pro-Biotics that maintain the health of the intestinal macrobiota and with it the strength of immunity.

El término Super Alimentos es muy general, debido a que hay varios Super Alimentos específicos para mejorar o prevenir ciertos padecimientos, como ciertos tés para aumentar la diuresis y disminuir riesgo de cálculos renales; disminución de los alimentos ricos en grasas saturadas para mejorar la digestión y disminuir el riesgo de cálculos en vesícula y vías biliares; o aumentar la cantidad de grasas poliinsaturadas para disminuir riesgo de padecimientos cardiovasculares y cerebrales; etcétera.

El comentario de Ljubomir Jacić es general pero al mismo tiempo sintético e informativo y es el que orienta más hacia la comprensión de los llamados Super Alimentos.

Si existe alguna dieta que merezca el nombre de Super Alimento, es la Dieta Mediterránea, que reúne muchos de los beneficios observados e investigados en los componentes nutricionales:

• Baja en hidratos de carbono simples y rica en carbohidratos complejos
• Baja en grasa saturada y rica en ácidos grasos poliinsaturados (entre ellos Omega 3 y 6)
• Equilibrada en proteínas de fácil digestión y de preferencia fresca y no procesada, como es la carne blanca (aves, peces).
• Rica en sales minerales que mantienen el equilibrio hidroelectrolítico,como el sodio, cloro y potasio, calcio, magnesio (TA, hidratación corporal, circulación sanguínea, actividad neuromuscular)
• Oligoelementos que intervienen en la respuesta metabólica durante la fase aguda de la inmunidad (oligoelementos: hierro, cobre, selenio, cinc, magnesio).
• Asimismo, contiene los vegetales y frutas que proporcionan la mayoría de las vitaminas que requiere el organismo, entre ellas vitaminas: A, B, C, D, E; y que simultáneamente son Pre-Bióticos (indispensable para la mejor acción de los Pro-Bíóticos)
• Contenido de Pro-Bióticos que mantienen la salud de la macrobiota intestinal y con ello la fortaleza de la inmunidad.

Saludos

Scientists claim that use of the term "superfood" is largely a marketing tool, with no root in academic research. Still, manufacturers rely heavily on marketing ploys and lobbyists to shape the public's perception of their products...

Another general criticism of the use of the term "superfood" is that, while the food itself might be healthful, the processing might not be. For example, when green tea is freshly brewed, it has several antioxidants. Commercially manufactured bottled green teas, however, are often cut with inferior teas and brewed with copious amounts of sugar. Many kinds of "super-juices" squeezed from acai berry, noni fruit and pomegranate can also include large amounts of added sugar...
