Here is some information that should be useful to everyone. Did you know what some expert out there considers the 20 healthiest foods? I don’t think they are necessarily in order of importance.

1. Broccoli

2. Eggs

3. Kale

4. Salmon

5. Carrots

6. Berries (any kind)

7. Tomatoes

8. Walnuts

9. Lentils

10. Bananas

11. Almonds

12. Avocados

13. Quinoa

14. Extra virgin olive oil

15. Green tea

16. Oats

17. Black beans

18. Sweet potatoes (better for you if eaten with olive oil, for some reason)

19. Grass-fed beef

20. nonfat yogurt (I assume this includes Greek yogurt, which is higher in protein.)

So, how many of these do you consume on a regular basis? Maybe make it your goal to consume more of one of them each month, unless, of course, you really don’t like it, or it is too expensive. For instance, I like avocados, but I seldom buy them, because they are expensive and I’ve ended up with some that turned out to be bad when I cut into them, and that is a huge waste of money. Grass-fed beef also tends to be expensive if you eat a lot of beef.  It couldn’t hurt to teach the kids to love these healthy foods, either!
