While no single food can provide all the necessary nutrients the body needs, incorporating superfoods can be beneficial as an overall approach to a diverse and nutrient-rich diet to optimize health. Superfoods: Exploring Nutrition and Health Benefits, sheds light on the overlooked potential of certain foods for their bioactive properties and positive impact on human health. It invites readers to lean about various types of nutrient-dense foods from microgreens and Brazil nuts to camel milk and green tea and explores the relationship between their bioactivity and health. Superfoods: Exploring Nutrition and Health Benefits, assists researchers in various points in their workflow while guiding them in formulating evidence-based recommendations including dietary guidelines to improve health outcomes. Authors investigate the relationship of sustainable vs non sustainable agricultural growing practices and impact on biodiversity and also explore food safety practices and potential allergens of certain superfoods. From antioxidants and phytochemicals to sustainability and safety concerns, readers gain detailed insight to the make-up of such superfoods as ancient grains, non-dairy milks, berries, salmon, kale, beets and more.
