healthy superfoods???

Found a great article in family circle. That it was very interesting andwanted to shasre. I try eat some of these on a daily bases which I imagine we all do. So enjoy the upgrade on ideas..
Strawberries, grapefruit, redbells pepers, mixed greens, kale, spinach---natural disease fighters with the mix of fiber, vitamins, minerals.
Fish fatty especially omega acids-twice a week so they say.
Asparagus/organge juice..thought this was an unusual paring..Folate Vit B
Potato salad. WHAT!! rich in vit c and fiber for heart health...and when cooked high amounts of resistanch starch increases fullness and might help lower heart disease. Mis with LOW fat mayo or yogart for healthier dressing.
Guacamole: loaded with monounsatureated fats which reduce heart disease...along with this is salsa. Provide a serving of veggies Vit c and the phytochemicals also..
Basil: great herb which allows one to use less salt and MIGHT make platelets less likely to stick together.
Promegranite juice high in antioxidents
NONfat and lowfat diary yogart, pudding milk..YES,, was somewhat surprised at this, but our bodies do need dairy. Vit D you know.
Oils, olive and canola
Wheat germ....do not hear so much about this latetly but it is a great additive to yogart, cereal, puddings anything like that Vit E With this also WHOLE wheat pasta, bread and cereal. FIBER linked to lower cholestrol plus Vit E and magnesium . along the same lines OAT. soluable fiber
Nuts--got to love them-heart health
Flaxseed..omega-3 can be added to oatmeal, muffins, pancakes salads..etc.
Beans and lentils: high in soluable fiber-easy to eat and taste great.

So eat up with these super healthy foods..and keep the healthy/happiness project going..
