Superfood
The Secret to Longevity
by Valerio Sanguigni
Super-rich in nutrients, super-healthy, and super-energizing.
In a word: superfoods. From cacao beans to hazelnuts, from chia seeds to tea, from turmeric to Goji berries.
There are foods out there that promise what we all would like to have: well-being and longevity.
Superfoods increase immune defenses, fight the effects of aging, and help prevent disease. But what’s really true about functional foods? Is it truly possible to live well and live longer thanks to natural foods with superpowers? Will they be the medicine of the future? For the first time in this book, the answer is given not by a nutritionist or chef, but rather by a cardiologist.
After extensively studying medicine and ultra-centenarian populations, I decided to analyze raw materials and foods with the same scientific rigor that is applied to testing a drug. The result was a surprising picture that debunked clichés and revealed new opportunities of natural treatments for the future.
Thanks to personal experience of over two years of research and a study that was published in one of the most important scientific journals, I developed and patented a one-of-a-kind combination: POWELLNUX: a multi-functional food that is completely natural and made from hazelnuts, honey, and green tea. It offers a high intake of antioxidants and benefits to those who eat it, whether they are healthy individuals or have underlying diseases.
