SuperFoods Super Fast

When we first coined the word “Superfoods” 25 years ago, it was to describe the best of all ordinary, everyday foods with the highest nutritional value for money. Apples, pears, parsnips, turnips, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, pumpkins, cabbage, spinach, nuts and seeds together with all the protein rich dairy products, fish, meat, and poultry. Now, the supermarkets, the food industry, and even the health food business have jumped on the bandwagon so they can make huge profits by selling the idea of Superfoods as exotic berries and strange products from the other side of the world. These are all high-cost items that you do not need. Spend your money at the market, farm shop, or supermarket on the items in our book and you will get real Superfood value for your money and your health. The purpose of this book is to help people suffering from specific ailments in the simplest, most effective way – by teaching them to eat and enjoy those foods that will promote the healing process, and to avoid those that aggravate the condition, or indeed, may have caused it in the first place. Equally, you can use this book to help promote the health and improve the resistance of yourself and your whole family by serving up a daily diet of Superfoods. Your health problem may be a disabling bout of flu, or a crippling case of arthritis; you may be coping with an annual visitation of bronchitis, or chronic digestive discomfort, or even a diagnosis of cancer. All of the Superfoods can be found in the first half of the book. Some of them have a centurieslong history of successful kitchen medicine, such as sauerkraut for digestive problems. However, we certainly do not imply that any fruit, or other healthy food not named is without value to you and should be avoided. On the contrary, we always urge that you eat from as wide a range of foodstuffs as possible. So whatever your health problem, choose freely (unless you have been advised by a medical professional to avoid particular foods).
