I don’t often watch The View, but today was an exception. The ladies of The View had a chance to sample some Superfoods from around the world that are known for providing exceptional nutrients and well-being when included in your regular dietary regimen.

My favorite Superfood is Goji Berries or Wolfberries. We’ve been enjoying these delightful little berries from Tibet and parts of China since the 1980s. Now they come in many forms: liquid libations, raw and dried berries, snack bars, and more.

We pop our Goji Berries into our Granola, a nice hot bowl of oatmeal or barley groats, and even our amasake or kudzu pudding. Occasionally, we nibble on them like raisins. We like the ForeverLiving beverage which is one of the best you will find in liquid form for this berry. We also use Chinese Herbal Formulas which include Goji Berries as one of the ingredients.

Just don’t buy your Goji Berries or any of these Superfoods from Walmart or your regular grocery store…unless you shop at a Whole Foods Market. You have to go for the organic, the freshest product possible, and the quality of any additional ingredients which you will only find at the ‘real’ health food stores that can discern the superior quality from the cheap imitation knock-offs that the discount stores are spoiling the marketplace with these days. You’re going to get what you pay for…

The second Superfood that holds a special place in our hearts is raw organic Cacao or Chocolate. Not your usual Hershey’s chocolate bar, but the real stuff. Raw organic Cacao powder that can be turned into healthy bars, sauces, hot chocolate, healthy desserts, and beverages that will rock your world.

Don’t mistake any of the usual chocolate candies for the health-giving raw organic Cacao which is the source for all of the good results coming out of the research. Start with the raw Cacao powder and build your foods from there… Dark Chocolate gets the nod, especially when it is free from dairy and refined sugar. VitalChoice makes some of the most delicious Chocolate Bars on the market, although there are many companies which are giving raw Cacao the buzz on the shelves and from our online associates. Buy your chocolate fix from the best…and don’t settle for anything less!

Love Street Living Foods has the best prices on Superfoods and the quality is simple the best! You will fall in love with these foods all over again. In addition to your favorites, Love Street will introduce you to Superfoods from around the world that the mainstream media and big box stores have never even heard of yet! The ladies of The View and Dr. Lindsey should pay more attention to the trendsetters in this niche.

MLM and Direct Sales companies have been selling Mangosteen and Acai products for several decades. It’s only recently that other businesses have realized that these Superfoods are here to stay and worth their weight in gold or hard cold cash, deserving a place on grocery store shelves. But you also need to be careful who you buy from, since many companies are only interested in making a profit on the trend, instead of supplying you, the consumer, with a quality product that truly yields the health benefits of the Superfood when prepared properly.

A case in point, poor Barbara Walters and Oprah have had to deal with unscrupulous scammers who have tried to use their star power and name identification to sell their Resveratrol. Even Dr. Oz got caught up in that controversy. It’s unfortunate that there are shady people who will bottle some pills and promote it when a nutritional supplement is popular, but detract from its reputation by putting out an inferior product. Our recommendation is to get your Resveratrol by drinking organic Red Wine and not by supplementation alone.

The View – Superfoods Segment

Sea Buckthorn can be taken as a nutritional supplement and this is probably the best way to include this in your routine. Don’t overdo it and be sure to get the highest quality on the market. We can direct you to our best supplier. You can trust them to deliver the goods.

Just put the Search term “SeaBuckthorn” in the Search Box on the website and it will take you directly to the page for the product and the description which will give you a lot more information than the guy on The View.

Coconut Water is only one form of the great coconut that is healthy and beneficial. The coconut is best when fresh, but in a pinch…you can derive value from coconut flakes, coconut milk, and organic coconut in snack bars, food items, and as an ingredient in beverages. We do love our Coconut and Pineapple Juice which we drink as a Pina Colada alone or as a base in our Smoothies with banana and other berries and fruit. You can also prepare dishes or cook with coconut oil as well as slathering it on your skin.

There are dozens of other Superfoods like Maca Root, Camu, Noni, Pomegranate, Amalaki, and more which we blog about here on a regular basis. We just wanted to cover the ones that were presented to you on The View. Visit Love Street Living Foods for an explanation of each of their Superfoods and find the best pricing with the highest quality from these folks who ‘walk the talk’. And remember…never overlook the health benefits from common foods like dates, lemons, and so many other whole foods which are being used to blend into delicious items with these Superfoods. Enjoy your healthy foods and your new-found fitness…with the zest for Life!
