See article keywords and concepts |  Best New superfood Blend" award by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, following the Natural Products Expo West 2007 trade show in Anaheim, California. In this review, the Health Ranger offers a brief review of the company, its founder and product line:
Jan Lovejoy, the founder of Emerald Balance, is one of the most genuine, open-hearted and truly compassionate people you will ever meet, and her love for helping people improve their health shines through her entire product line: X-Balance (superfoods for kids) and Emerald Balance (superfoods for adults). |

See article keywords and concepts |  This is an outstanding chocolate superfood bar from a company that deserves some good recognition for keeping their products honest and well-intentioned. Highly recommended. Five stars. Order Raw Decadence bars at http://www.everythingraw.com/store.htm
Superfood Snacks (www.SuperFoodSnacks.com)
This company makes Chocolate Goji Treats, which contain blended goji berries, raw cacao and other ingredients (see below). They look like chocolate balls (about the size of a quarter) and taste like a free vacation to chocolate Heaven. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Supplements that boost your health with exercise
What kind of supplements am I talking about? superfood nutrients and high-quality nutritional supplements from the kind of companies I recommend here on NewsTarget. Aim for a combination of food-based and supplement-based nutrition. Personally, I start each morning with a superfood smoothie that contains a massive serving of various superfood concentrates. This preps my body for the day, allowing me to engage in intense exercise without entering into a nutritionally deficient state. |

LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is a superfood powder based on non-GMO brown rice and yellow pea protein, with numerous superfoods, phytonutrients and other nutritional elements.
It's sweetened with a combination of xylitol, mannitol, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and stevia. (They are all natural sweeteners.)
The taste is relatively mild, with a detectable "green" flavor, but not nearly as strong as barley grass or wheat grass. | | See my superfood Smoothies book for recipes.
The price may seem steep at first, but compared to more popular superfood products made with up to 50% filler (soy lecithin, usually), LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is very reasonably priced.
Many ingredients are organic (spirulina, sea vegetables, herbs, etc.), and most nutrients are food-sourced, such as silica from horsetail herbs, or zinc from Krebs cycle bionutrients.
The forms of the nutrients used in LivingFuel Rx Super Greens are the expensive, premium forms. |

X-Balance is a chocolate superfood your kids will really drink
I'm also thrilled about her X-Balance chocolate superfoods product for kids, too. If you have kids who won't eat their veggies, just blend up some X-Balance with a banana, and they'll chug it and ask for more! | | Both are superfood powders suitable for blending into smoothies or mixing up in a glass of water, almond milk or soy milk. (Or even cow's milk if you do that.)
Her Emerald Balance product line delivers truly outstanding nutrition with no junk, no artificial ingredients and no shortcuts. Her new chocolate flavor introduced this year is flat-out delicious, with hint of mint. It's amazing how much nutrition Jan manages to get into a superfood formula that tastes this great! It doesn't have any "greens" taste or strange aftertaste. |

Have you ever felt like you actually fell in love with a food product? It sounds strange, but I recently fell in love with the Life Force line of chocolate products made by Life Force LLC. |

Remember when you exercise, you place a much higher nutritional demand on your biochemistry. If you do not supplement, then you are not going to get the results you expect from your exercise program. |

See article keywords and concepts |  What's your new superfood product that everybody is so excited about?
Dr. Liers: Our new product is called Rejuvenate! It's our high RNA rejuvenating superfood. We have been living on it. This is one of the most exciting formulas I have ever designed. I do not know if you are familiar with the work of Dr. Benjamin Frank -- he was a doctor in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. He wrote a book titled "Dr. Frank's No-Aging Diet." The no-aging diet was something he developed. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This is the same kind of healthy fat discussed above as coming from fatty fish like the superfood wild salmon. And nuts also provide a version of this fat, and though it is different in some ways from the omega-3s in fish, it nonetheless provides many of the same benefits.
We have an impressive body of research demonstrating that regular consumption of nuts can reduce your risk of developing coronary heart disease as well as diabetes, certain cancers, and other chronic ailments. Regular nut consumption has also been associated with a reduction of all causes of mortality. |

Transition Nutrition is one of my top ten highest recommended superfood companies. I've awarded this company two "best of show" awards over the last three years, and their food products continue to be among the best in the industry. You think you know what a cashew tastes like? Until you've tried their creamy raw cashews, you've probably never tasted a truly delicious cashew. The quality of their cashews, mac nuts, pistachios and other ingredients are simply at a completely different level than the commodity nut products you might be familiar with. |

See article keywords and concepts | | It's more than just a food, it's a superfood with increasingly well-documented health benefits. The very name of one of the active chemical components in chocolate (theobromine) is derived from the word theos (the same word root as theology), which gives you a hint of just how much our ancestors worshipped chocolate as, "food of the Gods."
As more consumers are seeking healthful chocolate bars without all the added sugars and milk fat, I set out to find the best new raw chocolate products made only with wholesome ingredients. |

See article keywords and concepts | | I think chlorella is as close, in my book, as any single superfood comes to doing it all. I think that you find many vegetarian people who for years have been doing nutritional yeast at 30 grams per day, they feel that yeast is the ultimate in complete nutrition. I combined them; chlorella is my main component in there. It is high in RNA, and high in chlorophyll, more by far than anything else we know. | | Then we put in rice bran solubles, which is a superfood all by itself. We started combining all of these things, including some B complex, because B12, methylcobalamin and folinic acid are right in the pathway as coenzymes for building nucleic acids. We have some of that and magnesium, because magnesium is used in making and using energy.
The RNA will tell the body to make energy, but you have to have the nutrients there to make it. Rejuvenate! started coming together, and for the last year we have been taking the pieces and creating our formula. We give it to our dogs and we all take it. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Green tea has always been a stellar superfood, foremost because of its SuperNutrients but also because it's readily available, virtually calorie free, tasty, inexpensive, and easy to incorporate into your daily diet. It's wonderful news to find that it also is of real benefit to those trying to lose weight.
We've known for a long time that polyphenols—the main active ingredients in green tea—have powerful effects on the body. The polyphenols act as antioxidants that protect the body from the negative effects of free radicals and help prevent oxidative damage. | | You select carefully. A superfood, wild salmon, is on the menu, so you're happy to order that. You ask for some brown rice in place of the white rice. You're pleased to see that seasonal vegetables are listed and are happy to choose them. You order a shrimp cocktail as an appetizer because you've heard that it's a good lean protein. The waiter places your order and returns promptly with a beautiful meal. It looks delicious but it's not really yours. Not yet.
Whose is it then? It's a generic portion for a generic customer until you make it your own with portion control. | | In addition to the main flagship, superfood, each food has what we called "sidekicks." The sidekicks are foods with a nutrient profile that is similar to the flagship food and as such they are good alternative choices. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Chia is a well-known ancient grain or seed used by the Aztecs as a superfood source, and by itself it is very nutritional. It's something I've used for years in my own diet. Chia is loaded with omega-3 oils, high-quality proteins, fibers and lots of minerals, but this new superfood (which I'll just call "super chia" for convenience) takes it to a higher level.
Super chia is a consistently produced crop with higher nutrient density than chia, and it is grown by a company in Canada. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The health benefits of nonfat or low-fat yogurt, our dairy superfood, are considerable. Yogurt has been favorably associated with helping to reduce the risk of the following conditions: certain cancers, allergies, lactose intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, hypertension, elevated cholesterol, certain kinds of ulcers, diarrhea, and vaginal and urinary tract infections. Obviously, making nonfat or low-fat yogurt a regular part of your diet is a smart decision. But there's even more reason for people trying to lose weight to include yogurt in their diet. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Anyone taking prescription drugs, especially statin drugs for high cholesterol, needs to be taking a superfood supplement like LivingFuel Rx Super Greens. Why? Because most prescription drugs -- and statin drugs in particular -- cause nutritional deficiencies. LivingFuel Rx Super Greens helps overcome those deficiencies, giving your body the nutrients it needs to return to full health.
"I strongly recommend LivingFuel Rx Super Greens to anyone who wants to improve their health. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Through sheer chance, I stumbled into a raw chocolate superfood company just launching a new product called, "Raw Decadence." They didn't even have wrappers ready for their product (I sampled it out of a large plastic bag), but the product speaks for itself in terms of ingredients: all organic, raw, nutritious ingredients made into a delicious food bar.
Imagine raw cacao with agave nectar, cinnamon, vanilla, nuts and seeds, blended together in a tongue-teasing recipe that gives you a natural chocolate high without the blood sugar problems found in sugary chocolate bars. | | Although you can't really eat your way to happiness, these chocolate superfood bars are the next best thing. Just remember: Enjoy your chocolate, but don't forget to balance your diet with other nutritious items, too.
If you order from any of the companies mentioned here, tell 'em you read about them on NewsTarget!

See book keywords and concepts | | People are often surprised that pumpkin is included as a superfood but it's one of the best sources of healthy carotenoids available. Carotenoids are the orange, red, or yellow fat-soluble compounds found in plants that protect the skin from sun damage. More than 600 carotenoids have been identified so far and they've been linked to a host of health-promoting and disease-fighting activities. But it's the fiber in pumpkin that makes a special contribution to weight control. A half-cup of canned pumpkin has 3.5 grams of dietary fiber for only about 40 calories. |
