There are A LOT of really healthy, good-for-you foods that are out there. I did some nosing around and came up with 10 foods that seemed to be mentioned pretty frequently:

Berries -- berries contain a giant portion of phytochemicals, in addition to vitamins, minerals and fiber that provide numerous health benefits. And for the antioxidant power, blueberries come out on top!
Broccoli -- antioxidants, including beta carotene, vitamin C, folate, and lutein, among others. Broccoli is extremely strong in anticancer activity, particularly against lung, colon, and breast cancers.
Garlic -- because of its antiviral and antibacterial properties as well as its vitamin C content, garlic is a powerful agent against the common cold as well as the flu; may protect against certain types of cancer; fights free radicals; has been shown to reduce inflammation and pain in the body.
Nuts -- nuts are one of the best plant sources of protein. They are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium; also, researchers found that people who eat nuts regularly have lower risks of heart disease.
Oats -- oatmeal, oat bran and whole oat products are some of the best sources of soluble fiber, which help reduce total cholesterol along with LDL or “bad” cholesterol. In addition to reducing the risk of heart disease, oat fiber can help control blood sugar, too.
Red (Kidney) Beans -- kidney beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other beans. In addition to lowering cholesterol, kidney beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as rice, kidney beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein.
Spinach -- spinach is a rich source of Vitamins C and A, and also a good source of vitamin K.
Turkey -- naturally low in fat without the skin, containing only 1 gram of fat per ounce of flesh. A 5-ounce serving provides almost half of the recommended daily allowance of folic acid, and is a good source of vitamins B, B1,B6, zinc and potassium. These nutrients have been found to keep blood cholesterol down, protect against birth defects, cancer and heart disease, aid in nerve function and growth, boost the immune system, regulate blood pressure, and assist in healing processes.
Fish -- fish is high in protein and low in cholesterol; fish contains heart-healthy nutrients like Omega-3 and is low in calories.
Water -- is water a food? Maybe not but it is one of the most important things you can consume. If you drink at least 8 oz of water a day (pure and free of any additives), you will (among other things) remove toxins and waste from your body; keep skin healthy; reduce headaches and dizziness; and improve your energy.

So, now that you have a list of some of the best foods to eat, what can you do with them? One idea is to get your kids involved in making healthy recipes for the family! Show the list to your kids and challenge them to use these ingredients to create a menu for dinner. I bet it would be interesting, but it's also one way to get your children involved in the meals, and by being more involved and having some input, they'll be more likely to eat healthy as well as learning why eating healthy is important.

Have fun, play around with the ingredients, and if you'd like, leave a comment to let everyone know what you came up with!
