Dr. Nicholas Perricone
wrote a book titled "10
Super Foods".
Buckwheat honey
is listed as
# 5 in his book of Super
Foods folks should be
consuming. Folks
either love buckwheat
honey or they don't -
buckwheat honey is
pungent in flavor with
molasses and malty tones
and a lingering
aftertaste.
After reading his book I
discovered the Acai
Berry which is listed #
1 in his book. So, I
started consuming
MonaVie Juice Blend
which we now sell
via our webpage.
The interesting
thing about MonaVie
Juice Blend is I had
never even heard of it
before and apparently
it's all the rage.
Now I consume it daily
along with our honey and
feel lots of energy.
Glenn consumes more
honey and bee pollen
daily since he has more
allergies.
Monavie has been
featured on Oprah,
Rachael Ray as well as
numerous other media
outlets. The
interesting thing about
Oprah is that Dr.
Nicholas Perricone has also
been featured on her
show to discuss his book
and research. Below are the
10 Super Foods that Dr. Perricone recommends.
The
benefits from eating healthy
are endless. And, according
to
Dr.
Nicholas Perricone,
some foods can be eaten to
help you look and age
better!
Ten Superfoods for
Age-Defying Beauty.
Acai fruit
This little berry
is one of the most
nutritious and powerful
foods in the world. It can
often be found in juice form
in health food and gourmet
stores.

Berry.
Anything in the "Allium
Family"
Garlic, onions, leeks,
scallions, chives and
shallots can all help the
liver eliminate toxins and
carcinogens.
Barley
This can be used as a
breakfast cereal, in soups
and stews, and as a rice
substitute. Barley's also
high in fiber, helping
metabolize fats, cholesterol
and carbohydrates.
Green Foods
Green foods like wheat and
barley grasses can be bought
in powder, tablet or juice
form, and offer greater
levels of nutrients than
green leafy vegetables. They
also help cholesterol, blood
pressure and immune
response.
Buckwheat: Seed & Grain
Buckwheat is loaded with
protein, high in amino acid,
stabilizes blood sugar and
reduces hypertension.
Beans & Lentils
You can reduce cholesterol
while beefing up on
antioxidants, folic acid and
potassium. Try kidney,
black, navy, pinto,
chickpeas, soybeans, peas
and lentils.
Hot Peppers
Both bell and chili peppers
contain antioxidants, have
twice the Vitamin C as
citrus fruit and work as
great fat burners.
Nuts & Seeds
You can't go wrong with a
handful of nuts a
day—walnuts, hazelnuts,
almonds, macadamia and
pistachio nuts contain Omega
3 fats, which are great for
your heart. Raw, unsalted
nuts and seeds are best.
Sprouts
Numerous varieties of
sprouts are great with any
meal. They're a great source
of protein and Vitamin C.
Try adding them to any dish
and your immune system will
get a boost.
Yogurt and Kefir
These cultured foods contain
healthful bacteria that aid
immune function, and the
calcium helps burn fat. Try
using them as a base for a
smoothie.
