Ten Amazing Foods

As a bit of a follow-up to last Wednesdays post, I did some research and based on their nutritional and health benefits, compiled the following list of what I found to be the top 10 foods.

(In no specific order)

Berries
Apples
Tomatoes
Broccoli
Almonds
Olive Oil
Salmon
Whole grains
Yogurt
Citrus Fruits

Do you agree/disagree?

What are your picks for top 10?

Bon appetite !!!

According to various medical newsletters I receive, you've named the top ten best foods to eat although I've also seen Beans (especially garbanzos) and quinoa mentioned.

At March 30, 2011 at 4:25 AM , Southhamsdarling said...: Yes, I agree with those, although Brazil Nuts are supposed to be very good, because they contain Selenium and, only this week, there has been a big thing about Walnuts being really good to ward off all sort of illnesses. They say you just need to eat 7 a day. Another one that is mentioned over here in England quite a lot, is Beetroot. Also, Pomegranite Juice was supposed to be excellent, but it is very expensive over here!!
At March 30, 2011 at 5:06 AM , Val said...: All of the above are my staples. I would add Kale, Spinach, brown rice, kamut, quinoa, beans & honey. Lots of good food out there!
At March 30, 2011 at 5:18 AM , Jessica Bell said...: Ah ... you gotta add carrots too! Raw! :o) Thanks for dropping by my blog. I'm now following you too :o)

At March 30, 2011 at 11:03 AM , Nicole said...: Those foods are all awesome for me, except salmon (I don't eat meat or fish). Berries are my favourite!
At March 30, 2011 at 1:21 PM , Talei said...: HI Monica! Lovely to 'meet' you, thanks for finding my blog, am very glad I found yours too.

At March 31, 2011 at 2:52 AM , Anonymous said...: Not a big fruit fan - apples, blackberries, and blueberries are my limit as far as fruits go.

Can't digest whole grains ... genetic thing.

HATE SALMON - personal thing :-)

I do like fresh veggies and yogurt: raw preferably.

What???? No red wine or chocolate???? These two things are a {{{must}}}. LOL

Thanks so much for stopping by and following. I'm looking forward to this challenge as a "do or die" sort of kick in the ass for me. For a while there, I was writing without fear, but the more "real" writers I met, the more hesitant I became...enough of that! I'm going to just push "publish post" for the next month and we'll see what happens! Here's to the journey together. I'm following you too.

I hope I can keep up with the A-Z Challenge. I might have to stick with blog hopping visits in lieu of posting. We'll see.

At April 1, 2011 at 6:52 AM , Marie Rearden said...: Hiya, Monica! Thanks for visiting The Flying Cheetah. I know your blog's for me when the first post I read deals with food. :)

I've always heard eggs are a super food. Perfect protein. But your list is great. I just wish I could force myself to eat salmon. Get rid of the smell, and I'm golden.

Following...now!

At April 1, 2011 at 8:31 AM , Suzanne said...: I'd add spinach, although I've really been loving Greek yogurt lately. I've found one that isn't loaded with high fructose corn syrup and dyes.
