Super food is a term that is often used to describe foods that contain high levels of antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamin C and dietary fiber. These foods are thought by many to possess healing abilities and are effective in preventing and treating diseases. If you're a senior, eating some of these foods in addition to a healthy lifestyle may help you live a fuller life. It is important to know, however, that medical science is much more reliable than alternative methods of healing and preventing illness. It should be advised that seniors should listen to their physician's advice before relying on holistic methods like eating super foods to replace medical treatments.

Some Notable Super Foods

Acai berries, some of the most powerful super foods in the world, contain up to 30 times more anthocyanins than red wine. They are an adequate weight loss supplement and contain high levels of antioxidants. For seniors, the acai berry can provide a source of dietary fiber for digestive health. This information is according to the Oprah show's Doctor Oz.

Barley is an ancient grain that is high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps in metabolizing the food you ingest. Eating hulled barley as a senior can help lower cholesterol and balance blood sugar levels. It also helps with cardiovascular health due to its high B vitamin and niacin content.
