So What Exactly is a Functional Food?

Simply put, a functional food provides other health benefits outside of its general nutritional value.

Take probiotic yogurt for example:

Plain yogurt is a good source of some B vitamins, calcium, and protein, but 

Probiotic yogurts have the added benefit of promoting a healthy digestive system through good bacteria. 

Add in some chia seeds, flax seeds, and/or a handful of berries and you have yourself a heart healthy and antioxidant packed breakfast!
