25 Healthy Foods--Can you name them? How many do you eat?

So many Americans seem oblivious to the contents of what they eat or drink. (I know I've been there!)

Maybe it is as simple as this:  We can’t see our cells (nor do we read labels), so many of us unknowingly pump our bodies full of difficult-to-digest chemicals, dangerous-to-our-brains substances, or we’ll intake food portions that are disruptive if not destructive-to-our-body-systems (circular, digestive, etc.).

We maintain this casual “out of sight, out of mind” approach to eating and drinking until something happens to one of us or our family members.  

But we just can't be casual anymore.  Americans are facing epidemic health concerns related to food and drink.  Diabetes.  Poor circulation.  Obesity.  Addiction.  Circulatory diseases.  Illness that leads to repeated loss of work or missed school.  

How can we change America’s growing health problems one person, one family at a time?

Maybe it is as simple as this:  Begin today to make a few little, but significant, changes in your family's caloric intake in order to-to get the big results of improved heart-health, lowered cholesterol, and increased energy. 

Need help? Prevention Magazine recently compiled a list of 25 healthy foods and why they are good for you.  (Taking time to understand how your body works and what foods/fuel will make it work better is a huge step toward making better food choices.)

Here is this week’s “Little Change” Challenge:  Take a few minutes right now and jot down how many “healthy” foods you think are on Preventions “Top 25 Ridiculously Healthy Foods” list.  Then check off how many of those that you eat regularly.  Next, click here to compare your list with Prevention’s list. Finally, make a grocery list and add at least 5 of these delicious, superfoods to this week's menu.

And just for extra measure, share this information with someone you love who needs it!
