1. Grass-fed beef, pork, lamb: Sources of good protein and quality fat, devoid of hormones, antibiotics, and toxins.
2. Cage-free chicken and eggs: Humanely produced, inexpensive, high-quality protein and cholesterol source
3. Sardines packed in sardine oil: Of all fish, lowest in heavy metals and other toxins, rich in essential fats. Best packed in their own oil, but those packed in olive oil or water are okay, too. Avoid those in soybean or vegetable oil.
4. Coconut oil: Rich in lauric acid, important for immune health, stable at high temperatures, great for sauteing, frying, and baking.
5. Broccoli sprouts: No food is higher in sulforaphane than these. Great on salads or in wraps. If you are short on these tiny power-houses, eat cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage).
6. Spinach (and other dark green leafies): Packed with nutrients, especially folate.
7. Tomatoes: Full of potassium and lycopene and so versatile you can serve them at any meal.
8. Pomegranate: Powerful antioxidant.
9. Celery root: All the benefits of potatoes, use in much the same way, but with the starch load.
10. Berries: Kind of fruits, full of ORAC (a measure of antioxidant capacity), fiber, and flavor.
