Why are Superfoods so Super?
Hint: It’s not because of the information found on a nutrition facts panel
DEFINITION OF SUPERFOODS
While there is not set criteria for what is considered a superfood, it is agreed upon that the term should be limited to only the healthiest foods on the planet. Many superfoods originate from ancient civilization from all over the world where using “food as medicine” has been the norm for thousands of years.
WHY ARE SUPERFOODS SO SUPER?
It’s generally not due to the information you find on a nutrition facts panel. Lets look at Cinnamon as an example. Cinnamon is considered a superfood, yet has a mostly empty nutrition panel. So why is it considered a superfood? It’s because Cinnamon contains various antioxidants that have been linked to help things like inflammation, cardiovascular system, and help regulate blood sugar levels. Many times, a superfood is considered super because of their antioxidant properties.
ABOUT ANTIOXIDANTS
Lets start with a definition of free radicals. Free Radicals are are molecules that your body creates that damages your cells – which create diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, infections, Alzheimer's, etc. They are produced naturally by your body as a natural part of aging. But they are harmful.
Antioxidants protect your body against free radicals. They remove them from your body. There are tens of thousands of different types of antioxidants, and they can serve different benefits. You should eat a variety of foods rich in antioxidants since different antioxidants will serve different benefits.
There are various types of antioxidants and they will be referred to throughout our website. We like to simplify the categorization as follows:
- Enzymes: Superoxide Dismutase, Glutahione, Catalases
- Phytochemicals: Catotenoids, Flavonoids, Allyl Sulfides, Polyphenols
- Vitamins: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Beta-Carotene, CoQ10
SUMMARY
In summary, eating healthy is more than just the information found on the nutrition facts panel. There is more to it than just calories, fat, cholesterol, carbs, protein, etc. We always recommend eating a wide variety of different foods, because they have different antioxidants which serve different benefits to your body.

Additional Information for this Recipe
This was or original recipe for brain health. It is a favorite among many and very easy to make. Many people add smoothie protein to this recipe, as it helps create the bread texture. Use ripe bananas (e.g. some brown spots should be showing) to get the best banana bread flavor. One recommendation we have is to buy bananas, wait until they are the ripeness you like, peel them, cut them in half, and then freeze them. Then you can throw your frozen bananas into the blender and they will the optimal ripeness that you like – every time you make this recipe.

If you love banana bread, this recipe is great. The recipe is amazing as it is but I add a 1 tbsp of dark chocolate per 2 servings because I love banana bread with chocolate chips. Try it as you will love it.
