Superfoods

I have been reading the blog Kath Eats and she talks a lot about eating SuperFoods. She reccomends the book SuperFoods HealthStyle by Steven G. Pratt, M.D. and Kathy Matthews. I found an excerpt online that gives a basic list of the SuperFoods:

SUPERFOODS
apples

avocado
beans
blueberries
broccoli
cinnamon
dark chocolate
dried superfruits
extra virgin olive oil
garlic
honey
kiwi
low-fat or nonfat yogurt
oats
onions
oranges
pomegranates
pumpkin
soy
spinach
tea
tomatoes
turkey (skinless turkey breast)
wild salmon
walnuts


Good thing I like most (tomatoes, blech!) of those foods! :)

The author also offers his version of the food pyramid. Nothing too new or exciting, but I like to see different options. It's totally not readable, but maybe you can click on this to make it bigger?? :)
Something to think about! :)
