The Dream Team: 5 Best-for-You FoodsEach month iVillage poses a different question to our Dream Team of experts. Here's what we asked this month: What are five things I should be eating that I'm probably not? I'm going to assume everyone already knows the obvious ones such as wild salmon and apples, so I'll concentrate on the unheralded superstars of the food world: sardines, blueberries, cherries, kale and organic, grass-fed beef. Here's why: Sardines are cheap, low in contaminants (since they're so low on the food chain), have protein and omega 3s and are convenient and filling ‑- great health food in a can. Blueberries are high on the ORAC list (an antioxidant rating system) and might improve memory. Cherries have a natural pain reliever and are great for gout and arthritis. They're also low in calories and low on the glycemic index. Kale is the superhero of vegetables, and if you can get organic, grass-fed beef, you're getting a super source of protein with a wonderful fat profile and none of the junk that's given meat such a bad rap, such as antibiotics, steroids and hormones. page 1 of 7 | Next Page
