HEALTHIEST FOODS ON EARTH

1. Berries
All berries are low in sugar and high in fiber. Blueberries have been shown to increase memory
in lab studies, and raspberries and strawberries are loaded with ellagic acid, a powerful
antioxidant that seems to have some anti-cancer properties, according to the American Cancer
Society.

2. Beans
Beans are extremely high in fiber, which helps to control weight, prevent or manage diabetes
and blood sugar, and may help prevent colon cancer and protect against heart disease. The
National Institute of Medicine recommends 25-38 grams of fiber a day. The average American
gets only 4-11 grams. One cup of beans provides 11-17 grams.

3. Nuts
Some of the largest and most important long-term studies of diet and health have shown that
eating nuts several times a week is consistent with a risk of heart attack and heart disease that is
30%-50% lower than the general population. Just one ounce of nuts-almonds, macadamia, Brazil
, walnuts, pecans-eaten three to five times a week seems to be the magic number.

4. Wild Salmon
Fish is the ultimate anti-aging food. Cold-water fatty fish like wild salmon, sardines, mackerel
and herring contain omega-3 fats that protect the brain and the heart, improve mood, and lower
blood pressure and triglycerides.

5. Raw Milk
Raw, organic milk nearly always comes from grass-fed cows and contains high levels of cancer-
fighting CLA (conjugated linolenic acid) as well as a rich assortment of vitamins, minerals and
beneficial bacteria (like Lactobacillus acidophilus)

6. Grass-Fed
Meat Meat from grass-fed cows has a much different fat profile than ordinary supermarket meat:
high in omega-3s, lower in potentially harmful omega-6s and loaded with CLA, a kind of fat
known for its anti-cancer activity. A superb source of protein and vitamin B12, it's also missing
the antibiotics, steroids and hormones found in the meat that comes from feedlot farms.
7. Eggs
Considered by many to be nature's most perfect food, the egg is high in protein and relatively
low in calories. The yolk contains choline, one of the most important nutrients for the brain, as
well as lutein and xeazanthin, two critical nutrients for eye health. Brassica Vegetables Cabbage,
Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kale all contain plant compounds called indoles that help reduce
the risk of cancer. In addition to a stunning range of vitamins and minerals, they also contain
sulforaphane, an important plant chemical that helps the body detoxify health-damaging
chemicals.

8. Apples
Not only do they keep the doctor away, they also appear to do the same for lung cancer, diabetes
and asthma. An apple contains five grams of fiber and a rich blend of nutrients including the
bone-building vitamin K and the anti-inflammatory nutrient quercetin. And there's no better way
to control your appetite than an apple eaten about half an hour before a big meal.

9. Onions and Garlic


In an impressive number of published studies, the consumption of onions and garlic has
demonstrated protective effects against stomach, prostate and esophageal cancer. Along with
broccoli, tea and apples, onions and garlic are among a select group of foods found to reduce
mortality from heart disease by 20%.

10. Pomegranate Juice


Called "a natural Viagra" by researchers at Tel Aviv University , pomegranate juice is loaded
with antioxidants. Studies show it can reduce blood pressure and plaque in the arteries. New
research indicates it also slows the progression of tumors.. Four to eight ounces a day is highly
recommended.

11. Green Tea


Though all teas are great for you, green tea has a unique profile of plant chemicals that have
anti-cancer activity. It's now fairly established that green tea may help prevent the following
types of cancers in humans: bladder, colon, esophagus, pancreas, rectum and stomach. If that's
not enough, it also appears to help with weight control.
