First, what is a superfood? It’s a food that has the ability to reduce your risk of heart disease, lower your cholesterol, reduce your risk of cancer, and it will even put you in a better mood. Superfoods can do all of this without any side effects. And the great news is that your diet probably already consists of a lot of superfoods—and you may not even know it!
