Superfood is a marketing term used to describe foods with supposed health benefits.

The term is not in common use by dietitians and nutrition scientists, many of whom dispute that particular foods have the health benefits often claimed by advocates of particular food.

Catherine Collins, for instance, the chief dietitian at St George's Hospital in London has stated that "[t]he term 'superfoods' is at best meaningless and at worst harmful...

There are so many wrong ideas about superfoods that I don't know where best to begin to dismantle the whole concept.".

Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body.

They are one of the building blocks of body tissue, and can also serve as a fuel source.

As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal (17 kJ) per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal (37 kJ) per gram.

The most important aspect and defining characteristic of protein from a nutritional standpoint is its amino acid composition.

An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, leading to chain reactions that may damage cells.

Antioxidants such as thiols or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) terminate these chain reactions.

The term "antioxidant" is mainly used for two different groups of substances: industrial chemicals which are added to products to prevent oxidation, and natural chemicals found in foods and body tissue which are said to have beneficial health effects.

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, known as pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism's own healthy tissue.

In many species, the immune system can be classified into subsystems, such as the innate immune system versus the adaptive immune system, or humoral immunity versus cell-mediated immunity.

In humans, the blood–brain barrier, blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier, and similar fluid–brain barriers separate the peripheral immune system from the neuroimmune system, which protects the brain.
