Within the last 10 years there has been an increasing interest in preventive health foods, organic food choices, and proactive health practices. The Baby Boomer Generation has been especially influential in the emergence of some new and exciting dietary choices that directly support the overall effectiveness of the immune system to combat the effects of stress, overuse of antibiotics, the aging process, malnourished diets, and occurrences of wasting syndrome. People from all walks of life and various health situations are adopting a wellness lifestyle. Wellness lifestyle choices place an emphasis on dietary products that are designed to address the issues of poor nutrition due to poorly balanced diet, defective digestion, or inadequate utilization of foods. Anyone interested in good health should adopt a wellness lifestyle, especially to counteract the everyday stresses of consuming coffee, caffeinated beverages, alcohol, smoke, unsanitary environmental conditions, or dehydration. In addition to the Baby Boomer’s, the arrival of antibiotic resistant infections and a pandemic of poor food choice has also resulted in the demand for hyperimmunity food technology advances. The demand for hyperimmunity food technology has led to over 50 years of clinical scientific research becoming a newly considered focus of preventive health and wellness discussions. This article will discuss the differences between superfood and hyperimmunity superfood (smartfood technology).
Superfoods are best described as health boosting foods (usually fruits or vegetables) that provide the nutrients proven to help prevent certain illnesses. This class of food is known to have high antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral content. The most effective superfood is directly related to the condition being considered. For instance, one might start to eat more pomegranate to slow the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, or add barley to their diet to help lower their cholesterol. The most remarkable benefit of superfood is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants are chemical compounds and enzymes that are capable of counteracting the damaging, but normal, effects of the physiological process of the oxidation (duplication) of free radicals in animal tissue. They defend the immune system by preventing and neutralizing free radical chain development. Any nutrient-dense food could be considered a superfood by one speaker or another depending on the condition under discussion. The challenge with superfood as a supplement for treatment of health conditions or as a proactive wellness dietary support is knowing how much to have and when, and coming up with creative and convenient ways to introduce these foods, that are often perishables, into a sensible diet. Anyone considering adding a fruit of vegetable superfood to their diet as a preventive health measure is cautioned to maintain dietary balance in their daily food choices.
Hyperimmunity superfood is a nutrient-dense whole food technology that is fortified with hyperimmune, antioxidant, vitamins, and minerals. Hyperimmunity superfood has also been referred to as ‘smartfood’ because of its seek, destroy, fortify properties and biologic response modifiers. Hyperimmune, the essential ingredient of hyperimmunity superfood, is a U.S. patented whole food technology that has immunizing agents that protect against antigens and human pathogens with immunoregulator, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, anticholesterolemic, and antibacterial properties. Hyperimmunity superfood has been found to be extremely helpful in reversing or reducing a wide range of health problems and especially beneficial to those suffering from recurrent bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, chronic fatigue syndrome, and immunoglobulin A deficiency. According to the June 2000 issue of Alternative and Complementary Therapies, hyperimmmunity superfood is rich in immune cofactors that control lipid (fat) deposits and slow the development of arteriosclerotic lesions. The sited research findings also revealed that patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or psoriatic arthritis showed significant improvement after 30 days and 60 days of hyperimmunity superfood consumption. The resulting beneficial modification of serum lipoprotein levels also indicated a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease. After 1 and 2 months of clinical trials involving patients being treated for wasting syndrome, 50-70% experienced weight gains ranging from .5kg to 4kg or maintained their initial weights. Consumers of hyperimmunity superfood should be mindful to drink plenty of water to get all the hyperimmunity goodness flushed throughout the system, the nutrients are not going to be as effective if they remain sedentary in your system.
In the final words on this discussion on superfood versus smartfood, adding the most appropriate fruit and vegetable superfood to a diet consistently, while maintaining a nutritional balance can present a chore for busy people, proactive wellness seekers, and dieters. Hyperimmuntiy superfood delivers the necessary nutrients the body needs to run at peak performance, strengthen immunity, improve digestive tract health, satisfy hunger, and relieve dehydration. Sometimes feelings of dehydration are not conquered by water consumption, and the reason is that nutrients are depleted and the body’s water distribution is not regulated properly. Dieters benefit from the use of hyperimmunity superfood because with use they crave less caffeine, snack less, and enjoy nutritious boosts of energy. Hyperimmunity superfood eliminates concerns over proper nutritional intake and superfood configuration.
