10 Great Foods for Eating Well

The Mayo Foundation came out with a list of great foods to eat. These were foods that meet at least three of the following criteria:

• good or excellent source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients
• high in phytonutrients - a group of components that may help prevent chronic diseases, such as heart diseasem diabetes, and some cancers - 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

Sounds good, right? I think so. So, here is the list:

Almonds

Apples

Blueberries

Broccoli

Red Beans
