11 Foods Serious Eaters Should Be Eating

20080702-11foods.jpg

Tara Parker Pope asked 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth author Jonny Bowden for an updated list of foods most serious eaters aren't eating but should be.

The list isn't all that surprising, since it includes the oft-mentioned pomegranate juice and prunes (or what they're now trying to call "dried plums"), but I must admit I had no idea that turmeric had anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.

Bowden's list is below. What do you eat to maintain health?

  • Beets
  • Cabbage
  • Swiss chard
  • Cinnamon
  • Pomegranate juice
  • Prunes (dried plums)
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Sardines
  • Turmeric
  • Frozen blueberries
  • Canned pumpkin

Moral of the story: If we wrap prunes with bacon, we get the best of both worlds.
