Top 10 underappreciated superfoods

Hello Guys,

I found this article about some common foods found is the grocery store that can improve the health and even reduce a persons chance of cancer. They include foods such as sunflower seeds, black pepper, sesame seeds and canned tomatoes. It lists the properties that each of these food products have that make them "superfoods". For example black pepper possesses a compound called capsaicin that has ani-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects.

  1. I want to know where are these foods under appreciated. Most of the people that i know eat or cook with the foods listed.

    But the link did have a lot of information that we could tell people in the Harlem community when we hand out our HEALTHY LIVING GUIDE BOOK.

  2. Very awesome article! One of the issues that we talked about in this class was how expensive it is to eat healthy. This article is great because it talks about simple groceries, such as peppers, onions, peas that are inexpensive and healthy. I think this speaks great volumes and shows that switching over to a healthier lifestyle is also a mental and behavioral change.
