Health-Diet-Superfoods

Hi came across another list of superfoods in a french magazine
  1. Blueberries (Mrytille)
  2. Kiwis (however some people can be allergic)
  3. Broccoli
  4. Jerusalem artichoke (Topinambur)
  5. Mango (My favorite)
  6. Fennel (Fenouil)
  7. Soya
So what are superfoods? Well they are foods that have more than fair-share of vitamins and health benefits. Wikipedia defines them as "foods with high phytonutrient content that some may believe confers health benefits as a result. For example, blueberries are often considered a superfood (or superfruit) because they contain significant amounts of antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamin C, manganese and dietary fibre" Wikipedia even lists Aloe Vera as a superfood .

Aloe Vera for Horses

There are countless uses for Aloe Vera, and investigations by veterinary professionals have shown that Aloe Vera is effective in the treatment of a large range of skin problems, joint problems and internal disorders in equines.

Many trainers and riders now give Aloe Vera to their horses as a dietary supplement, significantly enhancing their stamina and performance, and reducing competitive stress and post-event fatigue.

A few years ago, international show jumper Liz Edgar fed Aloe Vera to her horses during a flu outbreak with good results. She now regularly feeds it to balance cell counts and uses the extract for minor injuries. People can also benefit. Aloe Vera Gel is taken as a drink by jockeys to improve energy levels and many event riders swear by it.
