I ran across this posting on MSN.com. It describes 8 foods that we should eat everyday to keep us healthy. Anytime I see easy ways to make healthy changes, I jump on it. That's why I named this blog, "1-2-3 Be Healthy". And, it's what most people need, I think. Who has time to flip their daily schedule upside-down, just to lose a few pounds? This is what I normally hear: "Give me a few easy things I can do each day to be more healthy." That's all most of us really have time for, anyway. So, my goal today is to pass on an easy way to get powerful immunity-boosting, cancer-fighting, weight-controlling, etc etc etc, foods into your daily routine.

Healthy choices and weight loss don't always go hand in hand. After all, you could eat 3,000 calories a day worth of those 10 foods and gain weight!
Still, those are some powerful foods. If this is the sort of information you're looking for, there are some great books out there...SuperFoods RX comes to mind.
