Superfoods are nutrient-rich foods that offer us many benefits at the same time so in effect you get more nutrition with lesser amount of food that you eat.
Why should you eat superfoods?
Obviously, it's for the amazing health benefits that they offer. These foods are rich in nutrients and work wonders in keeping your mind and body healthy. But, this is not all. Once you start consuming superfoods on a regular basis, you will start noticing the difference in not just how you feel, but also how you look.
Eating these foods regularly makes your body healthier, helps you flush out toxins more frequently and leaves you with a healthy glow.

Coconut Oil 
Coconut oil can be one of the most beneficial items you can have in your pantry.
Coconut oil has been regarded in the past as a scary fat because it happens to be a saturated fat. Although it's true that most saturated fats are bad for you there is something special about our friend coconut oil. It contains short-chain and medium-chain fatty acid which means that your body uses it for energy instead of storing it as fat. It does well at high temperatures which makes it perfect for cooking and baking. You can also use it as a moisturizer, massage oil, hair conditioner,maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increasing immunity; the list literally goes on and on. Here at Health Street we carry high quality extra-virgin coconut oil
