It looks like the low-carb frenzy just might be a thing of the past in some food circles. The newest food craze to grip the health conscience seekers of eternal youth and everlasting health is called super foods. The group of foods is  comprised of blueberries, avocado, spinach, dark chocolate, tomatoes and green tea. Blueberries present an abundant supply of antioxidants in a very small package; they offer a double wallop of power for fighting cancer and heart disease. Avocados contain the same heart healthy elements, mono unsaturated fats, as olive oil. Fresh spinach is a dream as a salad condiment or a colon cleanser. Not only is dark chocolate a divine substance, it also is chock full of antioxidants. Tomatoes contain cancer-fighting lycopene. And green tea contains large amounts of antioxidants.

While choosing super foods is a great way to augment a healthy diet, eating only those foods on the list would not be the best choice. The list, as the author of SuperFoods Rx, by Steven Pratt states, is meant as a guide. A balanced diet of high fiber, low fat, whole foods is the best way to maintain balance in the quest to remain healthy while staving off cancer or heart disease.
