I recieved a link to this site in my email today. It reminds us why we should be eating healthy foods and which ones pack an extra boost towards good health.

Why Are They So Super?
Ask five nutritionists to rate the 12 most powerful foods and you'll get five different lists, but many of the selections will overlap. Why? Because every food provides something different: Some are a rich source of protein or fiber but void of many vitamins and minerals, while others contain disease-fighting phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, but no protein. The trick, claim experts, is to get a variety of the best foods. The following 13 power foods are a good place to start........

    YES!! I love it when eggs, dark chocolate and red wine get kudos!! ;)

    Seriously, eggs are a wonderful thing! I'm not sure much satisfies me more than an homemade english muffin, "fried" egg sandwich!! Mm Mmm MMMMMMM! (fried being cooked in a non-stick pan with pam!) And avocodos too!! We are coming up on guacamole season!!!

    One thing I saw the other day on one of the morning shows is that while pomegranate is still a great thing, the acai berry is on an uprise for being full of benefits.

    Thanks for the list! :)

    Read the list of foods. Great list! I cant eat red meat due to digestion and Iron absorbtion issues. I was glad to hear that eggs can provide good protien over red meat. And dark chocolate rules! Its wonderful to have a good excuse for eating it! (in moderation of course!!!!)

    Thanks!
