The Healthiest Foods On Earth - Chef Not Included

The most important consideration in constructing a healthy diet: Eat whole food with minimal processing.

These foods should do the trick:

Berries are phenomenally low in calories, high in fiber & loaded with plant compounds that improve memory and help fight cancer.

Nuts (stop giggling) help reduces heart disease.

Beans are notorious for their high fiber content.

Meat, if it comes from animals that have been raised on pasture land, have never seen the inside of a feedlot farm and have never been shot full of antibiotics and hormones. Good Luck!

Raw milk, generally believed to be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.

Wild salmon, whose omega-3 content is consistently higher than its less-fortunate farm-raised brethren, gets its red color from a powerful antioxidant called astaxathin.

Eggs - Get cracking!

Brassica genus vegetables - broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale - are loaded with plant chemicals called indoles, which help reduce the risk of cancer.

Apples - What you have heard is true.

Teas - Green tea , for example, contains plant chemicals called catechins which have decided anti-cancer activity.

Alliaceae family of plants -onions, garlic and shallots. They stink but they are good for you!

If you are not actually living with the cow, drinking raw milk is insanely dangerous. Don't do it!

Otherwise, good advice.
