We've all heard that "Prevention" is the key. While that is absolutely true, there IS hope for those of you suffering with being overweight, or with arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, and so on.

The truth of the matter is that if you are wanting to fight any of the above, including heart disease or cancer, you can. There are two food groups that you must consider, which most people just do not eat enough of. They are: vegetables and fruits.

You have probably heard this ALL of your life! Seems too easy. But then why isn't EVERYBODY choosing to eat THESE foods that will give them optimal health? It just doesn't make sense. It does, however, go to show you that we live in a society where "it's all about what "feels good," and what people want "right now." Usually BOTH are super detrimental to good health. BOTH will cause major stress and bad health in life. We can see that.

WHY ARE BOTH SO IMPORTANT, WHICH ARE SOME OF THE BEST, AND HOW CAN I GET THEM IN MY EVERYDAY NUTRITION EASILY?

1) First of all, vegetables and fruits are SUPERFOODS! What is a "Superfood?" A Superfood is a food that naturally contains nutrients, fiber and antioxidants. Basically, when you think of a vitamin or mineral supplement, the superfood already has this goodness in it naturally!

2) Here are several wonderful superfoods:
Pomegranates (helps unclog arteries!)
berries (blueberries best for memory)
broccoli (helps prevent breast and other cancers)
salmon - (wild caught) - is a powerhouse of omega 3 fatty acid and proven to prevent cadiovascular disease and diabetes
spinach - (even Popeye heavily promoted this one.....way back!)
tea (green, black or white ~ high in antioxidants)
tomatoes (men, eat up! Excellent for the prostate)
walnuts (high in omega 3 fatty acids)
turmeric - an anti-inflammatory ingredient in curry powder
avocadoes - can raise good (HDL cholesterol), stabilize blood sugar and help to cleanse the liver.
cinnamon - shown to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels (1/2 teaspoon per day is good)
algae - including chlorella, spirulina and blue-green algae. (boosts the immune system, detoxifies heavy metals and pesticides, helps with digestion, speeds up the healing process, alkalizes an acidic system and fights bacterial infections after surgery. ~ THIS ONE SHOULD REALLY BE FIRST!

3) How to get enough Superfoods:
In addition to eating them daily, you can ensure that you are getting enough by drinking a superfoods green drink daily (such as "Barleans Greens" and/or taking a super green supplement like "Perfect Food" by Garden of Life. I personally recommend both and do both myself, in addition to eating plenty of green vegetables.

If you don't eat much fruit, you can always pick up a superfood fruit supplement as well. If you already have some type of condition, just be sure that what you take doesn't contain any preservatives or artificial sweeteners. I personally like Garden of Life products and highly recommend them. They have something led "Perfect Berry." There are many good things on the market, however, choose wisely.
