"Super Foods"

Posted by JoeDecker Jan 23, 2008

I found this in an article by Ed Bruske of the Washington Post. Here are 16 "super foods," depending on which authority you choose to believe. According to the latest advice, these foods are super because they contain loads of vitamins and minerals and help fight cholesterol and keep us healthy. I try to incorporate all of these into my eating regimen most days of the week. How often do you eat these "super foods" each week? Put the list on your refrigerator and give them a try. Who knows, you might just lose some fat and feel better!

-Black beans
-Blueberries
-Broccoli
-Dark (not milk) chocolate
-Oats
-Onions
-Oranges
-Sweet potato (or pumpkin)
-Salmon (preferably wild)
-Soy
-Spinach
-Tea (preferably green)
-Tomatoes
-Turkey
-Walnuts
-Yogurt

As an UltraRunner, Strongman Competitor and Guinness World Record Holder, I don't believe in following fitness trends, I'd rather set them. I believe that we can be strong, that we can run long and absolutely can do ANYTHING that we set our minds too.
