If the aphorism holds true—if we really are what we eat—then refrigerators are like windows into our souls.

Superfoods have healing power, fight cancer, lower cholesterol and keep us mentally sharp! Occassionally, I have a handful of blueberries or a spinach salad. I sprinkle cinnamon in my coffee, eat grilled salmon weekly and love my jasmine green tea but I know I need more superfoods in my diet!

To make it easier for us to fall in love with these power foods, I put together a few tips and resources. Feeling amazing and taking care of you is right around the corner!

Post a super foods list on your refrigerator. I have done this and it works! You will see the list daily and be reminded of the top cancer fighting foods to consume.
Unleash the chef in you. Take local cooking classes or online cooking classes so you gain confidence in the kitchen. Imagine knowing what to buy and how to cook it. Empowering! I have been thinking about taking classes myself.
Buy the 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth book or In the Defense of Food: An eater's manifesto
Read 11 best foods you aren't eating from the NY Times.
Get informed. Watch the short video from David Servan-Schreiber, author of Anticancer: A new way of life
Understand how certain superfoods nourish specific parts of the body by reading: Fuel Your Body, 25 superfoods for your body
Stay hydrated. Take a water bottle with you wherever you go! A very easy way to drink more water!
Get inspired. Check out these quick and easy healthy recipes from The World's Healthiest Foods.
Get energized. Keep healthy snacks around the house and to take with you on the go like blueberries, oranges, yogurts and nuts.

Baby steps. That's all. Pick one or two things from the list above and you're on your way to taking care of you from the inside out!

Thanks for the tips and the link to the super foods list. Nice to see that my son likes a bunch of things on the list, especially raw broccoli. He's also a huge fan of un-shelled edamame...almost anything green. Berries on the other hand, not so much...we have to work on that.

H Rick! This list is very useful and from Stanford to boot! Kids love edamame and it's so healthy for them. I like it too with a hot bowl of miso soup! Thanks for your comment :)
