Superfood Slideshow

The Monterey Bay Aquarium sent a link out through Facebook today highlighting a photo/informational slideshow of superfoods put together by O, the Oprah Magazine.

The slideshow includes environmentally sustainable fish, as well as many fruits, vegetables, grains, and seeds that require less energy units to produce than some other meats.

Here's some examples:

Blueberries: Fresh or frozen, blueberries have sky-high levels of antioxidants, which combat the damage done by inflammation. Anthocyanins, the natural plant compounds that give blueberries their deep color, may have antidiabetic effects as well. And new research suggests blueberries might protect the heart muscle from damage.

Dark Leafy Greens: Dark, leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and swiss chard are an excellent source of iron (especially important for women), vitamin A, and lutein for eye health. Best of all, you know those omega-3s everyone's talking about? They reside in dark greens (including seaweed, which is why they're concentrated in fish).
