30 ‘Must Eat’ Foods for Looking & Feeling Better
The 30 Power Foods should be the center pieces of your diet. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, fiber, and phytochemicals (the things that scientists know are good for you but don’t know exactly why yet).
The Power Foods are separated into five groups: Starches (faster acting carbohydrates), Fruits & Vegetables (and other slow carbohydrates), Proteins, Fats, and the Power Food Add-Ons (these don’t fit into any of the previous categories and are commonly added to a Power Food meal).
