Choosing superfoods in every meal increases your health in the long run, but also your immediate well-being because they supply a highly available energy source for your body. Superfoods also helps fight and prevent disease, such as cancer and other lifestyles diseases, partly because green foods helps alkalize the body.

Fruit: Berries, especially wild blueberries, gojii berries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, prunes. Apples and kiwi are great and so is watermelon.
Plant food: the dark leafy greens, especially kale, watercress, arugula, and if not in excess; spinach. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, asparagus, and artichokes. Pumpkin and sweet potato is in the Superfood category too, but I also like to make sure I have onion, carrots, and beets on a frequent basis.
Protein and fat: beans (especially red beans), avocado, nuts (almonds, walnuts, raw pistachios) and seeds (sunflower and pumpkin). Some consider eggs a Superfood but they must be organic and free range. Fish is also in this category, if you choose the ones high in omega 3 fatty acids and low in mercury such as wild salmon. Cod, halibut, and monk fish are nice too.
Other: green tea as a non-sweetened drink, lemon in your water, and a little bit of very dark chocolate can also fit into this category as long as you choose it with a healthy sweetener (not processed sugar) and so dark that you omit the milk, otherwise - you cancel out the benefits, -sorry.
