Super foods are nutrient-rich whole foods that provide your body with essential healing nutrition. The following are a list of delicious disease-fighting foods that should form a substantial part of your diet. Click on the links for more information about each food, the essential nutrients it provides, recipes, etc.

Below the list of foods are links to more information about the benefits of the nutrients they contain. Always remember that choosing organic is a key component of a healthy diet. A list of foods that are generally high-risk for pesticides and other toxins was compiled by the Environmental Working Group, which provides a Shopper’s Guide, identifying ‘The Dirty Dozen” (foods that are high-risk for numerous pesticides and should always be bought organic), and also ‘The Clean 15” (foods that tend to have a lower pesticide risk). The EWF website has a bounty of information about pollution in our air, water, and food supply.
