EAT THIS NOW!

With all of this prevention talk, I thought I would blog about fall superfoods. (Superfoods are foods that are considered a great health benefit, like blueberries for example.) These are fall vegetables and fruits that are seasonally available at farms now (which means cheaper prices).

Let's check them out!

Bartlett Pears - filled with vitamin C and fiber.

Beets - fights off anemia and possible lung cancer (yay!)

Butternut Squash - keeps your skin smooth and eyes sharp (you can make these great butternut squash fries)

Cranberry beans - filled with iron and potassium

Apples - prevent breast cancer (yahoo!) Eat these raw or throw 'em in the oven and bake them with a tiny bit of sugar and cinnamon!

Kale - filled with vitamin A

Brussel sprouts - cook these with a little olive oil and roast at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and they WILL be tasy!

Thanks to SELF magazine for providing us with these fall superfoods!
