Green Tea Leaf
If you haven’t heard by now, green tea is amazing for your body and mind. Since there are too many benefits to list in one article, let’s focus on the advantages of green tea leaves.
Green tea contains caffeine that is a naturally occurring form of the most commonly used daily stimulant. Caffeine itself has been studied for quite a while and has been proven to improve brain function, mood and increase attention and focus.
The advantages of green tea caffeine on the mind begin with heightening focus through, you guessed it, caffeine.
Caffeine blocks the brain’s release of adenosine which actually increases the firing of neurons and the number of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. This allows you to feel more awake, alert and helps you work more productively.
Caffeine from green tea is way more functional than just increasing focus. In green tea, the caffeine combines with an amino acid called L-Theanine which passes through the blood-brain barrier and helps decrease stress. This combination results in a greatly improved mood.
Ultimately, having green tea can give you better memory and focus without feeling shaky or jittery from coffee or energy drinks, you still get all the real mental benefits of caffeine plus a better mood.
The combination of advantages from improved focus, positive mood, and increased productive energy make green tea a fabulous superfood we can have every day.
Green tea is good for cognitive function. Research from the journal Psychopharmacology showed a positive link between the consumption of green tea and improved memory.
Acerola Cherry
Acerola cherry is an immune system superfood.
Normally when you think of immune support your first thoughts are probably vitamin c and then oranges. Surprise! Oranges can’t compare to this vitamin C packed superfood.
Unlike many other fruits and foods, the acerola cherry has some of the highest levels of vitamin C at almost 4% of the weight of each acerola cherry and, most importantly, the complete vitamin C complex.
Vitamin C complex is essential to the body. It is responsible for more than just immune health and fighting infections. It aids in numerous processes like protecting against oxidative stress which means it can help prevent some diseases and it can help slow premature aging.
Vitamin C is also necessary for collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is a building block in skin, bone, cartilage, and tendons.
With so many benefits, the acerola cherry should be a daily staple as a superfood to keep immune health up and vitamin C levels high.
The acerola cherry is one of the fruits that contains over 150 phytonutrients. Also, it has the highest vitamin C content. And unlike other foods with vitamin C, this superfood is different because it has the complete vitamin C complex.
Raw Guarana Seed
Raw guarana seed can improve so many aspects of your overall health, from studies on weight loss and heart health to skin benefits and antioxidant properties. We love raw guarana seed as a superfood because of its amazing advantages in improving your energy, mood, and focus.
In raw guarana seed natural caffeine is combined with a high content of tannins and saponins which contribute to improved cognitive performance.
Guarana seed has been shown to help alleviate feelings of fatigue, giving you higher energy to be more productive.
In comparison to ginseng, raw guarana seed can improve memory, and help people complete tasks more quickly through heightening their ability to be attentive.
This increase in alertness and attentiveness makes raw guarana seed a major player in improving your ability to focus during the day.
In addition to improving your focus, mood, and productive energy, raw guarana seed has been shown to have strong antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making it even more awesome as a superfood.
A 17th century Jesuit missionary noted that guarana gave members of an Amazon tribe "so much energy, that when hunting, they could go from one day to the next without feeling hungry."
These three superfoods are incredibly beneficial to improving your mood, focus, productive energy and immune health. The best part is, you can actually have all three of these awesome superfoods every day. With all of the great health improvements they each have to offer, it’s easy to want these fabulous foods in your diet almost every day.
