25 very healthy foods... and a new favorite website

I ate half an apple today (it was exactly half) while on the phone with my Favorite Girl In Kentucky (FGIK--she is also one of my bridesmaids. I love this girl). She was very encouraging--today was, in general, a very encouraging day. I finished the last project of the semester for my research mentor, and then went on a wild google chase on the internet.

What I found was better than solitare. I have discovered prevention.com. It's a great website (I'm hooked), and an article on the website listed 25 ridiculously health foods. You can read the whole article with that link, but here's the list (in no real order--except that they saved the best for last, those clever people):

1. Eggs (remember that song, or those commercials?)
2. Greek Yogurt
3. Fat-free milk (I don't really like fat-free things--I feel like if you take something naturally fatty and do weird things to it to make it fat-free, then you've probably altered other things about the product, like sugar content)
4. Salmon (my mom loves this.)
5. Lean Beef (it's what's for dinner!)
6. Beans (the musical fruit, which is startlingly high in fiber)
7. Nuts (Delicious)
8. Soy nuts (also called edmame. It should be noted that soy products are contra-indicated for people with cystic fibrosis)
9. Oatmeal (the article says not to sweeten it. Phooey. :( Use agave as a healthy, natural, and sweet alternative?)
10. Flaxseed (someone fabulous made me flaxseed pancakes once, and they were so good! Also really filling.)
11. Olive Oil (I know this is good stuff, but if anyone has info about coconut oil and health benifits of that, please post?)
12. Avocado (Kody once correctly identified this as the fattiest vegetable in a game of trival pursuit. It's a good fat/oil, though)
13. Broccoli (this is the only vegetable my mother will not touch--she will gobble cauliflower, though)
14. Spinach (Duh. Popeye told us this)
15. Tomatoes (these are acidic. If your diet is high in meat and animal products, the work on balancing tomatoes in your diet-- you really don't want to be throwing your pH off too much)
16. Sweet potatoes
17. Garlic
18. Red peppers
19. Figs
20. Blueberries
21. Asian Pears (I like these! But they're so big. Eat with a friend or cousin, who may also happen to have a health-based blog)
22. Lychee (No idea what this is)
23. Apples (I try)
24. Guava (?)
25. Dark Chocolate (oooooh yeeaah)

What a wonderful reference! I hope you all enjoy.
