The World's Healthiest Foods
<http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php>http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php
129 foods that can serve as the basis of your Healthiest Way of
Eating. Links to the articles about these foods can be found below.
Of course, there are many other nutritious foods other than those
that we have included on our list that we feel are wonderful,
health-promoting foods; if there are other whole foods - such as
fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, whole grains, etc - that you like, by
all means enjoy them. Just because a food is not on our list doesn't
mean that we don't think that it can be included in a diet geared
towards the Healthiest Way of Eating as long as it is a whole,
natural, nutrient-rich food.
To find out why some of your favorite nutritious foods are not
included in our list, read The Criteria Used to Select the World's

<faqstoc.htm>FAQs about the World's Healthiest Foods
Criteria for The World's Healthiest Foods
Among the thousands of different foods our world provides, the
majority contain at least several of the nutrients our bodies need
but to be included as one of the World's Healthiest Foods they had to
meet the criteria listed below.
The criteria we used will also help you understand why some of your
favorite (and also nutritious) foods may not be included on our list.
For example, Readers have asked why pomegranate, a very nutritious
food, is not included on our website. While pomegranates taste great
and are rich in vitamins and flavonoid phytonutrients, they are still
rather expensive which makes them not as widely available to many people.
1. The World's Healthiest Foods are the Most Nutrient Dense
The World's Healthiest Foods have been selected because they are
among the richest sources of many of the essential nutrients needed
for optimal health. We used a concept called nutrient density to
determine which foods have the highest nutritional value.
Nutrient density is a measure of the amount of nutrients a food
contains in comparison to the number of calories. A food is more
nutrient dense when the level of nutrients is high in relationship to
the number of calories the food contains. By eating the World's
Healthiest Foods, you'll get all the essential nutrients that you
need for excellent health, including vitamins, minerals,
phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, fiber and more for the least
number of calories. Read more about <genpage.htm>Our Food and Recipe
Rating System.
2. The World's Healthiest Foods are Whole Foods
The World's Healthiest Foods are also whole foods complete with all
their rich natural endowment of nutrients. They have not been highly
processed nor do they contain synthetic, artificial or irradiated
ingredients. And whenever possible, The Healthier Way of Eating
recommends purchasing "Organically Grown" foods, since they not only
promote your health, but also the health of our planet.
3. The World's Healthiest Foods are Familiar Foods
The World's Healthiest Foods are common "everyday" foods. These
include the fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, lean
meats, fish, olive oil, herbs and spices that are familiar to most people.
4. The World's Healthiest Foods are Readily Available
Although there are many foods that are exceptionally nutritious, many
of them are not readily available in different areas of the country.
The World's Healthiest Foods are foods that the majority people can
easily find at their local market.
5. The World's Healthiest Foods are Affordable
We have selected foods that are not only familiar and available, but
also affordable, especially if you purchase them locally and in
season. This is also the time when they are the freshest and of the
best quality.
6. The World's Healthiest Foods Taste Good
The World's Healthiest Foods are also some of the world's best
tasting foods. We have created recipes using the World's Healthiest
Foods that do not overpower, but enhance, the unique flavor of each
food. Each recipe provides a flavor adventure so you can discover new
ways to experience and enjoy the great natural tastes of these foods.
