We live in a performance-oriented society that places new challenges and demands on us and our bodies every day. The balancing act between job, family and sport/leisure can be quite exhausting. Now it‘s important to eat nutrient-rich foods. They boost performance and support an active and responsible lifestyle. Proteins, sugars, adaptogens, antioxidants and minerals are important.
Proteins
Proteins are the basic building blocks of all human cells. They play a crucial role in vital processes in the body. A particularly important function of proteins is to build new cells or repair existing cells. They support and repair our muscle fibers, which is important when we have exerted ourselves heavily during sport. High-quality vegetable protein is an essential component of the Sooperfood mixes.
Adaptogens
Adaptogens are substances that make the body more resistant to stress, whether physical, psychological or chemical. And they bring your body into balance. Two representatives of adaptogens are contained in ashwagandha and the Chinese goji berry, for example. Maca, a superfood from the Peruvian Andes, is also used as an important ingredient in some of our recipes due to its adaptogenic qualities.
Sugar
Humans do not need any additional sugar at all to get going. Our brain and other important organs do need glucose (grape sugar) to function properly. But our body can produce this itself from many foods. And this naturally occurring sugar provides quick, easily digestible energy, absolutely perfect for your hardcore training. Unlike table sugar and other refined sugars, they come from real whole foods - including grains, fruits, rice sweeteners or honey - and retain valuable trace elements, vitamins and minerals. Mulberries and goji berries provide valuable sweetening power.
Antioxidants and minerals
Our body is constantly rebuilding or remodeling its cells. Proteins and minerals also play an important role in this process. When new cells are created, such as muscle cells after sport and physical exertion, the body needs building materials. Everything that is needed is available in a healthy body. However, when free radicals are on the move in the body, antioxidants come into play. Antioxidants include vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances, which are found in fruit, vegetables, cereals and cocoa.
They are also found in impressive numbers in our superfoods such as maqui, acai and cocoa. If you consume enough minerals in your diet, you will keep your body in balance. Minerals are the spark plugs of the metabolism, as they play a decisive role in the body‘s energy production. They help in the formation of cells and tissues, red blood cells, nerve tissue, muscles, bones and teeth. They also help build muscles.
With our sooperfood mixes, you can give something back to your body and recharge your batteries.
