Researchers found that blueberry eaters showed a reduction in several factors influencing the inflammatory response. They concluded that blueberry polyphenols can lessen learning impairments resulting from neurotoxic insult and exert anti-inflammatory actions, perhaps by alteration of gene expression.
Other studies have found that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved both the learning capacity and motor skills [...]

Spirulina are microscopic coiled blue-green algae that have been around for the past 3.6 billion years or so. Spirulina and other blue-green algae were the generators of the oxygen found in the atmosphere that allowed higher life forms to evolve. These algae contain every nutrient needed by life to evolve into the diversity of life [...]

There is a chemical in broccoli called sulforaphane that stimulates certain “phase II” enzymes. These enzymes have been found to inhibit the growth of cancer in laboratory mice.
Using cells in a lab dish, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that diindolymethane (DIM), a compound resulting from digestion of cruciferous vegetables,  reduces [...]

Blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity.  Using a test called ORAC , researchers have shown that a serving of fresh blueberries provides more antioxidant activity than many other fresh fruits and vegetables.
In one study, Jim Joseph, director of the neuroscience laboratory in the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center (HNRC), fed blueberry [...]

Beans are seeds, specifically the seeds of a fruit, so they can be referred to botanically as a fruit even though we usually think of them as vegetables.
The term “green beans” refers to the  immature seeds which are still in the pod, and  the pod is tender enough to eat.
Beans are one of nature’s healthiest [...]

Garlic, a member of the onion family, has been cultivated for thousands of years and is widely used for both its culinary and medicinal attributes.
Garlic has been used for centuries for its role as an antifungal, and antibiotic. Scientists have recently discovered that a compound in garlic acts as the world`s most powerful antioxidant. Findings [...]

Chlorella is an algae called Pyrenoidosa that grows in fresh water and has the highest content of chlorophyll  of any known plant on earth. It is extremely high in enzymes, protein, vitamins and minerals, including the full vitamin-B Complex. It has been shown to activate  macrophages that scavenge and digest cancer cells, foreign proteins and [...]

A recent review of the use of omega-3 fatty acids  found that omega-3s protect against stroke,  improve blood pressure, vascular function, lipid metabolism, cardiac function and reduce inflammation.
The omega-3 fatty acid-rich oils have been shown in hundreds of studies to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, including many studies in diabetics
More than two thousand studies on [...]

Chia seeds are the seeds from the Chia plant, which is a member of the mint family of plants.
Chia is abundant in omega-3 oils, protein, calcium, soluble and insoluble fiber, and antioxidants.
One of the unique things about chia is its ability to soak up water. If you mix one part chia seeds with nine parts water, [...]

Studies have shown that grape seed extract is high in antioxidants that are able to counteract cell damage in the body that is caused by free radicals. Free radicals are active molecules that can cause cell damage as they roam about and multiply in the body.
A new study has recently shown that over three-quarters of [...]

Miso is made by adding a yeast mold known as koji to soybeans and other ingredients and allowing them to ferment for a period of time ranging from months to years, depending on the specific type of miso being produced.
Benefits include reduced risks of breast, lung, prostate, and colon cancer, and protection from radiation. Researchers [...]

Anthocyanins are naturally occurring pigments that give fruits and berries their red, blue and purple coloration.  They are a class of flavonoids that have been linked to cancer protection, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and published in the Journal of Agricultural and [...]

Alfalfa has roots that grow 130 feet into the earth and is one of the most mineral-rich foods known as it is able to seek out minerals inaccessible to other plants.
It is one of the best sources of protein, and is high in vitamins A, E and B-6. It is one of the few vegetable [...]

The waters  spirulina grow in are so saturated with mineral deposits from ancient soil and mountains that no other plants can live there.  It is an excellent source of potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, selenium, iron and phosphorus. As is bee pollen, spirulina is an excellent source of the entire vitamin B complex, and vitamin [...]

Bee pollen has more protein than any animal source per equal weight, and contains more free-form amino acids than beef, eggs or cheese of equal weight. The protein is highly digestible and absorbable, rendering much more nutritive value than equal amounts of animal protein. It contains an abundance of carotenoids, including lycopene, zeaxanthin and [...]
