What are superfoods?
It may come as a surprise to you, but the word “Superfood “ is not an official term for any kind of food. Its a marketing term coined to express the idea that some foods are more superior in nature than others. All foods offer nutrition and benefits to the body. However, the reason behind the term “super” is that these particular foods are deemed to have extraordinary nutrient density. This means that these foods will offer more nutrients packed gram to gram compared with other foods.
Why Should we include them in our dog’s diet?
Foods that offer maximum health impact in the minimum amount of calories or quantity required naturally tend to be a bang for your buck, so to speak! You share a lot of the superfoods with your dog, that could be included in the diet on a regular basis that are nutritionally dense and packs in health benefits immediately and in the long run.
These foods help you fight disease and build immunity and have good energy. Like you, your dog has a daily requirement of a variety of nutrients for the complex job of keeping their body functioning at a healthy optimal level.
Needless to say that these “Superfoods” are going to be natural in form, ideally organically grown without GMO(Genetically modified Organism) and is used to feed your dog with minimal processing to retain its nutrition to the highest level possible! Only then, will it be of any use in the body.
The reason for the increasing concern with commercially processed dog food is the fact that there is a huge nutritional loss in the processing of the food. And to top it off, the quality of ingredients used is sub-par to say the very least! The kind of damage this kind of feeding does to the body over time is oftentimes irreparable.
