02/20/23 • 11 min
So we hear a lot about Superfoods, right? But what are they?
And why are they even called “Super” What makes them super?
Well, I’m glad you asked, because today we are doing a mini episode devoted to just that! After being inspired by Brandy and her healing through food, this seems an appropriate next step! So this is going to be a short and sweet episode...we are going to focus on fruits today...this will be part one of our mini series entitled, “Why are they superfoods?”
A Word of Warning: There is controversy! (of course! LOL)
So, let’s explain what super foods are considered to be.
Simply put, Superfoods are nutritional powerhouses. Superfoods are foods that have a very high nutritional density...they are extremely high in micronutrients like vitamins and minerals and are packed with fiber, as well as antioxidants, enzymes and health fats like omega-3 fatty acids. All of these nutrients are essential to your body so you can thrive. And on top of that, Super foods boost the immune system, help prevent anti-aging, and are linked to the prevention of disease.
Today we cover a few Superfood Fruits...including blueberries, grapefruit and a few others!

Can Food Really Heal? With Brandy Aceti
Can food really heal?
There are too many first-hand accounts (not to mention scientific research) to deny the healing power of food.
What you eat matters. What you eat has a profound impact on your overall health.
Brandy Aceti joins us today to selflessly share her personal experience in the hopes it can encourage you to seek out the healing power of food in your life.
Brandy is a corporate professional who has become an ambassador for healthy, plant-based eating after making changes to her diet which aided in the rapid recovery of her advanced autoimmune disease. She shares her personal experience with combating Lupus Nephritis using a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, and the role nutrition plays in reducing inflammation and managing chronic diseases. She is a strong believer in being an advocate of your own health and healing the body by eliminating foods that can cause illness and fill it with foods that heal.
