The term "super foods" is a social lexicon that is bandied about a lot these days. Unfortunately, it's often attached to high nutrient foods that are often expensive, and sometimes hard to find. But for these foods, all you have to do is look past your nose when at the market, they are all readily available.

These following suggestions pack a big nutrient bang and deliver essential health benefits. In addition, you will feel better, and most likely, lose weight as well.

Blueberries

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, which help protect the body from disease; they're high in potassium, vitamin C and fiber, all for about 80 calories a cup. Recent studies have suggested that they may help protect against heart disease, cancer (both colon and ovarian) and may help with age-related diseases like Alzheimer's. In general, the darker the berry, the better, so load up on blackberries and elderberries as well.
