Often, when we think of
“superfoods” we think of special little bags of exotic seeds or
berries, always priced over $20-something for a few ounces. Because we are
conditioned in our Western culture to look at nutrition in separate
pieces, instead of the whole picture, many of us would typically purchase a
little bag of super food exotic something, sprinkle it over whatever, add

the dinner we just ate.

“A lot of people have unrealistic expectations about these (super)
foods, thinking they’ll be protected from chronic diseases and health
problems,” Kris-Etherton

foods on top of a poor diet.” In order to avoid falling into this pattern,
you need to look past the super marketing and cool packaging of the
superfoods trend, and learn how to incorporate seasonal, everyday super foods
into your everyday lifestyle.
