Dr. Fuhrman’s Ultimate List of Superfoods

As you may have surmised, I am a big fan of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. After years of reading and thinking and following his “way of eating,” I think that Dr. Fuhrman has found the path to health that makes the most sense. This is why I wanted to share his selection of the top 30 superfoods.

Top 30 Super Foods by Dr. Furhman

It’s not about the proteins, carbs, and fats, it’s the micronutrients that keep us healthy. He has coined the term, “Nutritarian” and that is what I am.

I promote eating the most nutrient-dense food available for health and well-being. This refrigerator magnet in the photo above features his top 30 superfoods.

The Nutritarian Way of Life

Here is a quote from Dr. Furhman’s website that helps further explain the concept of nutritatianism:

“A nutritarian is a person who strives for more micronutrients per calorie in their diet-style. A nutritarian understands that food has powerful disease-protecting and therapeutic effects and seeks to consume a broad array of micronutrients via their food choices. It is not sufficient to merely avoid fats, consume foods with a low glycemic index, lower the intake of animal products, or eat a diet of mostly raw foods.

A truly healthy diet must be micronutrient rich and the micronutrient richness must be adjusted to meet individual needs. The foods with the highest micronutrient per calorie scores are green vegetables, colorful vegetables, and fresh fruits.

For optimal health and to combat disease, it is necessary to consume enough of these foods that deliver the highest concentration of nutrients.”

Superfoods: the Ultimate Nutritarian Food

By understanding superfoods and incorporating more of them into your daily diet, you are optimizing your health and life. Anyone interested in the nutritarian way of eating would benefit from keeping Dr. Fuhrman’s list on hand. If you click on the image above, you can print it to save for future reference.
