My List Of Superfoods by Marcel Schade

In today’s society a lot of products are being called „superfood“, even processed meals, just for marketing reasons.

So what is a superfood? From my understanding it is a nutritional source which consits of an extreme high level of nutrients, e.g. antioxidants, vitamins and/or minerals. Because of these qualities they can have a beneficial effect on your diet, your health and your fitness goals.
