The top 5 superfoods for your power nutrition plan. These are the five super foods recommended by David Wolfe in his Longevity Now Program.

 

And they are....... (Drumroll, please)


Raw Cacao Beans, MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane), Medicinal Mushrooms, Camu Camu, and Maca.


Include these 5 superfoods in your daily diet and you will detox, strengthen muscles, bones and joints, build immunity as well as increase your sense of well being and spiritual connection.


Raw Cacao Beans or Nibs


Raw Cacao Nibs or beans are high in sulfur and magnesium, two minerals that we desperately need in our diet as most people are highly sufficient because of our diets, excess “junk” calcium, and poor soil quality.  I love crunching on the beans although they may take a couple of times to get used to the taste. The nibs you can eat right out of the pouch and they are delicious! It naturally increases our brain’s neurotransmitters like PEA (Phenylethylamine) which is the same brain chemical that is naturally secreted when we fall in love.  No wonder love and chocolate go together!


Another brain building nutrient in raw cacao is anandamide, which is called the “bliss” chemical and alleviates depression and provides a euphoric feeling often associated with heroin.  It also decreases appetite (natural weight loss here) because it includes Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) which also help rejuvenate a person and give them a youthful healthy glow.  It’s natural sulfur content gives stronger hair and nails as well as beautiful  skin.  It is the “fountain of youth” supplement.  The magnesium will help you build stronger bones (more important than calcium) and alleviate SAD (seasonal affective disorder).  Go out and start using this natural superfood today!


MSM


 MSM or Methyl Sulfonyl Methane  is present in almost all of our body.  It is a sulfur derived nutrient that can help relieve arthritis by relieving inflammation and actually rebuilding the joint socket and strengthening the bones as well.  It has been used to treat allergies, asthma and even snoring.  It is the natural beauty supplement that feeds and strengthens your hair nails and skin.  It is the ultimate “fountain of youth” supplement.


It can help you build lean muscle tissue and detox your body as well.  It helps you release excess lactic acid (what causes the soreness) in your muscles after a strenuous workout.  It increases the effectiveness of vitamin C and should be taken with it to supercharge both of their effects.  I prefer Camu Camu as a natural source of Vitamin C.  MSM helps oxygenate your body and even gives you more energy.  You can find it naturally in eggs, nuts and seeds.  You can’t really have too much of it as it is easily flushed from your system. Take 5 grams a day for skin and hair renewal.


Medicinal Mushrooms


Medicinal mushrooms, like Chaga, Shiitake, Reishi, and Maitake can help your body become stronger and resistant to allergy, infection and disease.  They boost your immune system naturally.  In fact they are so potent that they can even help your body get rid of cancer! They help lower bad cholesterol, balance blood sugar, ward off infection, reduce inflammation and detox your body. They are the most potent disease busters in nature.


They help your respiratory system and will actually rid your body of fungal infections.  Funny how fungus displaces fungus, huh?  It can even promote a spiritual connection as they are earth’s largest living thing. Some underground mushroom patches can go on for miles!  They even help detox the planet, and get rid of toxins in water, like oil spills!  You can use them on salads, soups or even make teas out of them.  Include them in your daily nutrition plan today!


Camu Camu


Camu Camu is the richest source of Vitamin C on the entire planet!  It also includes high levels of the Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) need for body tissues and muscle repair.  It enhances the immune system and increases your energy level too.  It is a natural mood elevator than can stop depression cold in it’s tracks.


It stops colds, flu, hepatitis, asthma, infertility, Parkinson’s disease, glaucoma, gingivitis, atherosclerosis, arthritis pain and inflammation and is a natural pain killer.  It is best to get this supplement in a natural powder form and take 1-2 grams per day, with MSM if you have it. It multiplies the effect of MSM to be about 500% more effective than either alone.


Maca


Maca is a true adaptogen, meaning it can help one adapt and overcome the effects of stress on the body and mind. It is great to use if you workout or are under any form of stress.  It increases fertility and sexual function in men and women.  It helps you get stronger, faster and recover quicker too.  It helps you restore proper hormonal balance in your body too.


* The Maca you use *Must* be “Gelatinized” so your body can absorb it! Insist on it, or you miss out on most of it’s incredible benefits. Organic and raw are also very desirable qualities, as they make it many times more potent! It can help balance your hormones as well.


It makes your skin become more youthful and elastic, as well as have that natural healthy glow. It speeds healing to wounds, enhances the circulatory system and boosts the immune system too.  It increases energy and endurance in people, particularly during exercise.  It will give your stamina a boost too.  Include this in your daily regimen and you look and feel better than you have in a long time.
