10 Healthy Foods

Posted Aug 26 2008 4:25pm

After some reading, I've put together a list of 10 healthy foods and reasons why they are healthy:

- Apples

- Almonds

- Blueberries

- Broccoli

- Red Beans

- Salmon

- Spinach

- Sweet Potatoes

- Vegetable Juice

- Wheat Germ

These 10 health foods are some of the healthiest because they meet at least three of the following criteria:

- Are a good or excellent source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients

- Are high in phytonutrients and antioxidant compounds, such as vitamins A and E and

beta carotene

- May help reduce the risk of heart disease and other health conditions

- Are low in calorie density, meaning you get a larger portion size with a fewer

number of calories

- Are readily available
