Simple Guidelines for a Healthy Diet

Dr.Ann writing,

As many fruits and veggies as possible – the superstars include: avocados, tomatoes, garlic, onions (red best), cruciferous family (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, watercress), asparagus, red/orange/yellow, bell peppers, spinach, other dark salad greens/lettuce, carrots, sweet potatoes, berries – any variety (frozen are cheaper and just as healthy), pomegranates, any whole citrus, cantaloupes, mangoes, kiwi, apples, red/purple grapes, cherries, plums

Monounsaturated fats as your main fats (extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, nuts/seeds, and avocados)

100% whole grain breads and cereal products. Physically intact grains are best.

Omega 3 fats regularly (oily fish, omega 3 eggs, walnuts, canola oil, whole soy foods)

Any variety of beans/legumes – daily best

The healthy protein packages – fish, shellfish, poultry, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, nuts, beans, soy, omega 3 eggs

Water as your beverage of choice
