True Super Foods
After much research I found that not all of the foods I studied were true super foods.
You have to consider where and how your food is grown. They do however; contain the necessary ingredients to be beneficial in your diet.
It is absolutely true that you need various foods that react together for improved benefits in the body. If you consume an avocado you will reap the rewards but if you consume a grapefruit with your avocado they work as a team to fight disease and illness.
This is true for most foods, there are however exceptions and they are;
Wild salmon, tomatoes, broccoli and broccoli sprouts, kale, spinach, garlic, onions, blueberries, walnuts, pomegranates, depending how and where they are grown.
Then there’s goji berries, mulberries, goldenberries, sauco berries, acai berries, noni fruit, mangosteen fruit, bee pollen, royal jelly, green tea, sea vegetables, quinoa, and umeboshi plum.
Sea Vegetables
Sea vegetables are true super foods, they contain significant amounts of protein and they also contain all the minerals found in the ocean.
They offer 10 to 20 times the vitamins and minerals found in plants grown on land with just a few exceptions. There is a reason for this; we, as a population, have depleted our soils of the necessary nutrients that plants absorb.
We also use chemicals and pesticides on our crops, these chemicals and pesticides are non-selective and destroy everything even the micro bacteria and micro fungi that is digested by the plants.
When you purchase an apple from the store it is usually lacking most of the minerals that the soil once provided, minerals that are essential to our health.
This is not true for the sea vegetables, the ocean is still productive.
We have yet to destroy it and therefore it is a rich source for your health. Kelp, blue-green algae, spirulina, chorella, dulse, alaria, sea lettuce, Irish moss, kombu, wakame, and nori are all rich in vitamins, minerals and all the essential amino acids.
Fruits
Some fruits that are grown wild in other parts of the world are also true super foods and are still rich in nutrients because the soils are not depleted.
The Mangosteen fruit is native to South East Asia, it has been studied for 20 years by independent labs and doctors for its medicinal uses.
It contains 25,000 anti-oxidants, the highest number ever found in one food source, it contains amino acids, as well as, a vast majority of vitamins and minerals.
The Goji berry is native to Asia; it contains amino acids and essential minerals and vitamins.
Mulberries are native to Turkey; they are high in vitamin C, iron, calcium and protein.
Goldenberries are native to Colombia and Peru,
Sauco berries are native to South America,
Umeboshi Plum is native to Japan,
Noni fruit is native to Polynesia.
The Acai berry has 30 times more anti-oxidants than blueberries, all eight essential amino acids and trace minerals. The list goes on, but what you eat is up to you, your health is in your hands.
If you are already suffering with a disease or illness or you’re prone to certain diseases or illness, due to family history, then there are a few things you need to know. If vegetables are cooked at over 118 degrees the heat will destroy most of the beneficial properties.
You cannot eat as much as you need, which is 8 to 10 servings a day. ➡️ there is a solution, you can juice your way to health. 
The food pyramid has changed which came as no surprise to me. I still have trouble with this type of system. Not everyone needs the same things, and every person on this planet is different and has different nutritional requirements.
