Taking a peek into Super Fruits
Shannon Clark explains the benefits of including superfruits in our diet.
As you improve your nutrition and take in healthier foods every day, one category not to leave out is superfruits. Fruits such as Acai, Goji, Maqui, and Mangosteen all offer tremendous benefits to your health and will help you feel great.
Let us take a quick look into what each of these super fruits has to offer so you can get a firm idea for yourself just why these will have such a significant influence on your body function.
Acai Berry
The Acai berry is one of the hottest fruits around and is often known for the essential fatty acids. While so many other fruits are entirely fat-free, the Acai berry will provide you with healthy omega fats necessary for proper body function. |

In addition to that, this fruit is also high in fibre content. It will offer up vitamin E, calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, and niacin, all nutrients that work together to fight off disease and improve your energy levels.
Goji Berry
The next berry to consider adding to your diet is the Goji berry. This fruit is rich in protein content, so if you typically do not get enough protein throughout the day, it may be a solution to help increase your intake upwards. Goji berries are also good vitamin C, riboflavin, potassium, iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium. |

Overall, this berry can help boost your immune system function, improve metabolism, and help to reduce neurological disorders.
Users who consume it daily also tend to notice more stable blood sugar levels, which can help ward off hunger and allow you to stick with your diet.
Mangosteen
Moving on with our superfruit list, Mangosteen is another super fruit not to overlook. This fruit is great for helping to reduce inflammation in the body and provides a rich source of antioxidants. Regular consumption of antioxidants is essential for fighting off free radical damage that you get through the environment, potentially setting you up for serious illness. |

Maqui Berry
Finally, the last super fruit to consider is the Maqui berry. This fruit offers numerous health benefits as well. First, it will go a long way toward supporting a healthy immune system. Since your immune system is challenged daily with every stress you contact, this will support proper health and function. |

Next, it is also going to support a healthy cardiovascular system. By eating Maqui berries regularly, you will help to decrease your total cholesterol levels. In addition to this, the berry will also help boost circulation and improve the overall strength of the heart.
Finally, this berry also has anti-ageing benefits, so anyone looking to stop the hands of the clock will want to consider it. It will help improve the appearance of the skin and the nails when consumed over a longer time.
