Marked up foods that have not been proven medically to do anything, but the health industry will push for it.

>>11925529
Personally think that's bull. Shit like avocado, beans and fish is more like it

This is a fast food board kiddo.

>This is a fast food board kiddo.
Are there no fast superfoods?

I think like half of those are fat free or very close to it

Liver. Liver liver liver. Liver!

>>11925814
Taco Bell

Yes all these are actually good for you (omega 3s, fibre) with plenty of evidence. Other real health foods are vegetables in general, and onions (shown to reduce cancer) and cruciferous vegetables (increase testosterone).

>>11925920
why would a woman want increased testosterone you ass it isn't only men here -_-

>>11925814
The McDouble no joke.

>>11925529
Garlic
Celery
Organic oatmeal
Instant Brown rice
Arugula
Lentils
Blueberries
Kiwi
Organic avocado
Sardines

>superfoods
Mostly marketing. Things like kale and acai berries might have very high levels of some sort of vitamin, but you don't get twice as healthy by getting 200% your daily nutritional needs.
What you really want is to hit all your marks, 100%, rather than have a billion percent of Vitamin C. In that way, the real super foods are things that cover a wide variety of nutrition.
Funny enough, a lot of those foods are cheaper than popular super foods. Broccoli is amazing. Berries are great, raspberries especially. Sweet potatoes are godlike. You should eat these every day.

>>11925529
Chia seeds are pretty dope

I noticed that my arthritis inflammation seemed to calm down after I added wolfberries to my diet. Then again, I believe there are studies that have shown that placebo effect can be stronger than legitimate physiological action so who knows.

>Random, expensive hipster shit
Also
Aloe vera? What?
You're not supposed to eat that shit.
You're supposed to break some off and rub the sap on your skin when you're sunburnt.

what the hell is 'bee pollen'

>>11927741
Drink that shit. So good

Fitfags deserve to get exploited for their autism and vanity. Yes, spend $25 on a bag of grass so you can have loose shits. Good goys.

>>11927741
People have been cooking with aloe for fucking ever. Can you stop being American as fuck for 10 seconds?

>>11927859
By tasting like shit

>>11925529
>non-addictive
What properties make a food "non-addictive"?

>>11925529
Some of those foods are good to eat, not "superfoods" though. Fatty meat, offal, oily fish and eggs I would consider superfoods. Veges and seeds don't quite make it.

>>11927853
No.

God I love fresh coconut. Kinda hard to get one that isn't too old with crappy meat, though.

>>11925529
>ywn be a superfood
why live?

mmhmm
It's totally athletes and bodybuilders propping up the industry reliant on a consumer's complete ignorance of nutrition.
Totally not fat and lazy people that think drinking a wheatcress and acai berry smoothie is the healthy thing to do after eating a 5-piece KFC meal for dinner.

"Nootropic effects" are of some trends:

•Vitamins and minerals – supporting functions / genetic expression (e.g., conversion of ALA omega 3s; and also, height is most correlating to protein intakes),
•An abundance of protein – which is the second most abundant item in the body, only to water; some 150g,
•Antioxidants (Sangre de Grado and astaxanthin) – of efficiency unto testosterone production; and protection of neurotransmitters,
•Substrates for neurochemicals (5-HTP, for melatonin and serotonin; and L-DOPA for epinephrine and dopamine) – even for consistent effects from caffeine / coffee,
•Vitamin C – amongst .01% of water (approx. 300mg per gallon: 5x the RDA) and .4% (approx. 15g), the latter was the only actually effective for producing QoL and blood metrics of biosynthesizers; the amounts are reasonable because even small animals are producing 10+ g/day.

>Food that has a lot of micro nutrients you were probably deficient in due to your shit diet
>Mark it up 400% and claim it cures cancer
Taking your daily multi and drinking water instead of coffee and pop will have roughly the same effect for 99% of the people who would incorporate bee pollen into their food because someone called it a superfood

>>11925814
I heard throwing a pomegranate makes it go pretty fast

>>11925851
Which liver is the best? Should one eat a variety of liver?

>>11925529
>no buckwheat
>no chia seeds
>no quinoa
>no pulse/legumes in sight
jesus fucking christ

>>11929936
>Chia
>Quinoa
Bruh this aint 2008 fads over lmao its all about the avacado, aloe vera, laundry detergent and bee pollen

>>11929953
bee keepers have been trying to sell bee pollen since time immemorial
pollen or "bee bread" is literally a waste product of the honey making process, it's bee excrement, still fairly good as a stimulant

>>11929965
Ive been eating whole offal since I was a kid just as every part of my family tree a hundred generations back. People will still pretend its some amazing revelation that kidney liver and heart are to regular muscles what quinoa is to bleached rice

>>11929928
Not him, but I usually opt for chicken liver. It's definately least "pungent". With onions, mushrooms, creme freiche, it's absolutely amazing, easy as all hell too.

>>11927249
because it'll still help you with exercise and looking better, slight testosterone increases can help a woman look nice because it increases the muscle build up subtly, you won't become a she-man from having cruciferous vegetables

>>11928749
My forefathers have been using them long before they were called “superfoods”. I hate Americans and their bandwagoning

>>11929902
