Looking for Nutrients? Try Superfoods!

 Looking for Nutrients? Try Superfoods!

You may have heard mention of the term superfood, but what, exactly, makes a food super? Simply put, superfoods are better than regular foods, at least in terms of nutrition. They are packed full of vital nutrients, and having them as a dietary staple can yield all manner of health advantages in your life. In particular, a diet rich in maca, cacao, yacon root, lucuma, and mesquite is going to provide you with incredible nutritional value.

The Perks of Maca

Maca is an important superfood ingredient, and first came to prominence as a sort of aphrodisiac! Indeed, the maca root can promote both male and female libido, and even enhance fertility, but it is also rich in essential nutrients that include iron, calcium, and magnesium, as well as crucial fatty acids, fiber, and protein!

Cacao is Good for You!

Cacao—yes, the very thing that makes chocolate so good—is another superfood ingredient that has been said to work as an aphrodisiac, but it, too, is bursting with invaluable nutrients. Among them are antioxidants, neurotransmitters that promote healthy brain functions, and magnesium.

What is Yacon Root?

The yacon root is an herbal ingredient that comes from the Andes, and it is an incredible asset to any diet, as well! It is a tremendous, healthy, and natural diuretic, which means it promotes healthy urination and the excretion of toxins out of your body. It is rich in antioxidants, and also contains prebiotics, which greatly assist in healthy digestion.

The Lucuma Advantage

Lucuma comes from a fairly rare subtropical fruit. It also happens to be rich in vital nutrients. Among these nutrients are antioxidants, fiber, carbohydrates, and various vitamins and minerals that boost the immune system and even have anti-aging properties!

The Benefits of Mesquite

Finally, mesquite is a vital superfood, rich in protein, calcium, iron, and zinc. Moreover, it has lots of soluble fiber and promotes insulin development, which is why it is often called a “diabetic superfood.” Indeed, Southwestern Native American tribes consume a lot of this stuff, and diabetes is essentially unheard of among them. Talk about super!

The obvious takeaway here is that eating a diet rich in these superfoods can only do your body favors. Learn more about these different ingredients, and consider making them part of your lifestyle. They will help you maintain overall physical fitness and total bodily health, to say nothing of warding off diabetes and other serious diseases.

These powerful superfoods are found in our Epic Protein : Chocolate Maca, Epic Protein : Vanilla Lucuma, and our Sproutein.

The Benefits of Whole Grain Brown Rice Protein

With the huge number of protein powders and energy supplements available in the market today, it has become harder than ever to tell the good ones from the chemical-laden, artificially flavored, synthetic saw dust. Ingredients are KEY! There is nothigng else more important than the food you put into your body. This is especially true when it comes to concentrated supplements.

How Are Muscles Built?

Created on 26 June 2011
Written by Mark Malinsky @ SL

If there is one word that could best describe the process of muscle building, it would be Adaptation. But in order to better understand how our muscles work in order to rebuild themselves and grow, we first need to address some misconceptions about this process.

To start, many people think that muscles build slowly over time if one takes the right foods, and that they do so just growing the same way a plant grows if you provide them with pure water. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, if all one does is to simply take supplements and nothing else, all he or she will achieve is to get fat fast.

Another myth that many people believe, is that exercising alone will result in the perfect body. Now, while it is true to some extent that a good exercise routine can definitely help shaping up the body, if it is not complemented by the right balance of nutrients and vitamins, the intended results will never be achieved, or will take several times longer to do so at best.

So, if neither a balanced nutrient intake nor an exercise regime alone can build muscles successfully, then what will it take to do it? The answer is both, and even then in a way that will result surprising to most people.
