Fruit & Nut Superfoods

Fruit & Nuts & Super Humans.

It is widely accepted that in early times human beings were hunter-gatherers, and as such, it also widely recognised that our diets were made up of a much higher percentage of fruit, nuts and berries (super foods) than it was meat. Meat is a lot harder to acquire than fruit & nuts.

So, our digestive system is more at home digesting and breaking down fruits and nuts than processing meats. But humans have mastered the technology. In addition, hunting has become much more accessible. Therefore, meat has gradually taken over our diets.

How Do Fruit & Nut Super Foods Benefit Us?

Little did we know back in prehistoric times that we already had the most nutritious foods available; Fruit, Nuts & Berries have all the nutrients we need to consume. In addition, different kinds of fruit, nuts and berries contain all the nutrients we need in our diets.

Super Food Antioxidants

Some fruit & nuts have antioxidant properties, while others have high concentrations of vitamins and minerals essential to our well-being. Recently, scientists have been able to quantify precisely what nutrients certain foods contain. This has led to some fruits, nuts and berries being classified as super foods.

Most fruit and nut super foods contain high antioxidants; these antioxidants are very effective at killing ‘free radicals. When ‘free radicals build up in the body, they can overwhelm the immune system, leading to illness and depression. The lowering of toxins and a reduction in the number of ‘free radicals support the immune system and help the body focus on cell regeneration and the transportation of oxygen around the body, leading to an overall sense of well-being.
