72 Superfoods That Will Make YOU Superhuman!
“What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use that power wisely.” – Christopher Reeve
Very few of us (okay none of us actually, except Superman) were born with Kryptonian DNA, which under the radiation of the Earth’s yellow sun bestow upon us superhuman powers making us virtually invulnerable to anything life may throw our way.
No, unfortunately we weren’t blessed with the powers of superhuman strength, lightning speed, x-ray vision, heat vision, super breath or the ability to fly!
We were, however, blessed with one power (that Christopher Reeve alluded to in his quote above) and that, my friend, is the power of CHOICE!
Now we can use this power wisely by making smart decisions that will create an amazing life for ourselves…. or we can blindly choose an unconscious path that leads us astray. There’s no right or wrong here… it’s simply the power of our choice and the consequences they yield!
“Every day we are making decisions that affect every aspect of our lives… and one of the most basic and fundamental choices we make is what foods we select to nourish and fuel our body.”
Sadly, few people rarely take the time to consider how their food choices impact their health, mental acuity, strength, energy levels and overall vitality and well-being.
Before the 20th century, food selection was a little more straight forward, but now in this day and age we live in a world full of “psuedo-foods!”
Are YOU making the wrong food selections?
Psuedo-foods are FAKE foods with zero nutritional value and packed full of empty calories which do nothing but make you fat, promote disease and rob you of your health.
These foods are promulgated by an industry full of money-hungry, billion-dollar conglomerates whose only goal is to get you to trade your last precious dollar for their delicious, scientifically engineered laboratory creations.
The harsh reality is that the foods you choose to ingest on a daily basis can either make you SUPER AWESOME or SUPER DEAD!
The choice is yours… and I hope you (like Superman) have the wisdom and maturity to use your power wisely.
My Favorite Superfoods for Becoming a Bad-Ass Mofo
This looks like a job for….SUPER BRAN!!!!
With the recent release of “Man of Steel” in the Theatres and the culmination of the “supermoon“, I thought I’d list the top Superfoods I consume throughout the week.
These are the vital nutrients which give me my secret powers and raw, unbridled masculinity! 
“Superfoods” is a term often used to describe natural foods with high nutrient or phytochemical content that may reward you with some positive health benefits…
…and IF you’re lucky, the ability to leap over tall buildings with a single bound!
“Superfoods tend to have few downsides to consuming them, unlike pseudo-foods which are high in nasty trans fats and artificial ingredients, food additives, toxic chemicals and contaminants that can wreak havoc on our bodily systems.”
To reap the most benefits I recommend buying Organic fruits and vegetables, wild-caught fish, free-range poultry and grass-fed beef. It’s also a good idea to always choose foods that are as fresh and local as possible.
I know this isn’t always feasible, so do the best you can within your means.

very nice post..
Thank you
This list is disappointing.
Make your own list then buddy 😛
Hey Ray! Why do you think so? I find it awesome! Huge list with so much information in the description for each food on it.

Great information all around. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Your welcome Adam! Glad you enjoyed it
I have to note that Rice actually contains arsenic and should be avoided if you value your brain 🙂 There’s ways to cook organic rice to reduce arsenic – by soaking overnight and then rinsing with hot water in the morning. Other questionable foods from your list are shrimp(contains pollutants) miso (contains soy which inhibits testosterone) kale(arsenic) and Brussel sprouts (arsenic). This is why Paleo diet advocates against grains because most of them contain inorganic poisons from the soil. I would instead replace Rice with Chia Seeds which is a great source of protein and vitamins and it’s a true super food!
Hey Angel, thanks for the informative comment. I see this is an increasing concern due to pesticide use, pollution, and contamination. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Apparently, lots of foods contain arsenic as it is naturally found in the soil. There’s both organic arsenic and inorganic arsenic and it’s the inorganic arsenic that is the one to watch out for. To quote the article I linked below: “A huge percentage of the world’s population relies on rice as a main food source, and millions of people may be at risk of developing arsenic-related health problems. That being said, if you eat rice in moderation as a part of a varied diet, you should be totally fine. However, if rice happens to be a large part of your diet, make sure that it was grown in a non-polluted area.” Please see the article below for more information https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/arsenic-in-rice
I use instant rice..i have lost 80 lbs utilizing these foods..Love it. If a person sticks to these foods in serving sizes,every part of you will feel powerful overall. Fantastic List..add serving sizes,Then its perrrrfect..
