If you tire of the one-note wonder--broccoli (or blueberries), you might want to check out Prevention's report on six so-called Super Foods. They are: cranberry; broccoli sprouts; kiwifruit; pomegranate; barley; and kefir. Each plays a unique role in keeping you healthy and strong, and some boast claims of cure.
Meanwhile some of us from work ventured over today to Temple Israel for Deli Day, where there were few Super Foods in sight. Which is why we love going to this charity benefit every year: hefty kosher corned beef sandwiches, chips and cole slaw. The homemade desserts cost extra and are worth every penny. Some people treat it like a picnic and the weather is usually great, as it is today. Some kids were running off their calories by chasing each other on the lawn and playing hide-and-go-seek under the oaks. Some of the rest of us? Spin. But later, after a nap.
P.S. This is funny. After I posted the above yesterday, I read this blog entry
that rather pokes fun at (some) marketing of health aids--in this case, aspirin.
A) We ought to do everything at our reasonable disposal to stay healthy but B) Nothing--not even kefir or blueberries or aspirin--can keep us from dying. (But hopefully not today for you and me.)
