Superfoods

The Magic of Superfoods

Superfoods are foods that have a very high nutritional density. This means that they provide a substantial amount of nutrients and very few calories. They contain a high volume of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Antioxidants are natural molecules that occur in certain foods. They help neutralize free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are natural byproducts of energy production that can wreak havoc on the body. Antioxidant molecules decrease or reverse the effects of free radicals that have close links with many health problems.BLAST™ Daily Supplement Powders are a very specific combination of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and plants that in conjunction work to detox alkalize, and cleanse your body.
We break down the key Superfoods and their benefits below:
