While there isn’t a strict definition of what a  superfood  is, the term most often refers to nutrient-rich foods that are considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being, including for healthy immune system support.  Some examples of such superfoods include leafy greens like kale, berries, salmon, garlic, and herbs like  turmeric . What Makes a Superfood a Superfood? What makes these foods so special? For starters, they provide a concentrated dose of essential nutrients—such as vitamins, minerals,  antioxidants , fiber, and  fatty acids —which you must obtain from your diet since your body can’t make these nutrients on its own.
