The following list is a selection of super-foods, all of which are good for you, tasty, and are available just about anywhere.

1. Avocados. It’s often said that they are high in fat, and therefore considered bad for you. It’s a lie! Avocados contain mono-unsaturated fats, which terrific helpers in blood and tissue regeneration. They are loaded with fiber, and have been linked to eye and skin health.

2. Dark Chocolate. Sweet things are always nice, and, luckily, the tastiest of them all is actually good for you. Dark chocolate contains large amounts of antioxidants, and flavonols which help fight disease.

3. Red Wine. A glass of any alcohol each day has its health benefits, but wine, red wine specifically, has more than simple cholesterol reducing properties. Red wine has strong antioxidants, and saponins, which come from the skins of grapes, and aid with cardiovascular health.

4. Pomegranates. A bit of a pain to eat, sure, but wow are they good for you. They have three times the antioxidants of red wine and green tea. They can clean out muggy arteries, and they can help sow the aging process.

5. Blueberries. A great treat with amazing health benefits. Packed solid with antioxidants, theses little berries help just about every chronic disease by reducing inflammation, they help fight cancer, and are great for your eyes.
