What are the healthiest foods you must include in your diet?

I watched oprah today and she had the top 10 superfoods but I managed to miss half of them. i got tomatoes,olive oil,spinach,pomegranates,almonds and salmon

Think of eating foods of all the colors of the rainbow…

Red:
Tomatoes, peppers, cranberries, raspberries, apples, beans, strawberries

Orange:
Carrots, pumpkins, oranges, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, peaches, apricots, mango

Yellow:
Squash, corn, legumes, lemons, banana, eggs, grapefruit, mushrooms, pineapple, sesame seeds, macadamia nuts, cashews, peanuts, quinoa, chickpeas, almonds, pecans, walnuts, brown rice, ginger, beans

Green:
Peppers, cabbage, beans, limes, spinach, kale, honeydew melon, avocado, pears, pesto, celery, zucchini

Purple:
Blueberries, blackberries, currants, beets, red cabbage, eggplant

White:
Potatoes, tofu, onions, garlic, whole oats, cauliflower

Here is another one of those lists:
1) Almonds and Other Nuts
2) Beans and Other Legumes
3) Spinach and Other Green Vegetables
4) Dairy Products
5) Instant Oatmeal
6) Eggs
7) Turkey and Other Lean Meats
Peanut Butter
9) Olive Oil
10) Whole-Grain Breads and Cereals
11) Extra-Protein (Whey) Powder
12) Raspberries and Other Berries

Mind you, as a trainer I don't wholly agree with the list.

Many "diets" have their superfood list.

My recommendation is simple

With every meal try to get:
A lean protein plus
A starchy carb plus
A fibrous carb

and
Avoid simple sugars
Minimize saturated fats
Elimininate hydrogenated fats
Minimize processed foods

Try to get a small meal every 3-4 hours. Eat until you are not hungry, and do it again in 3-4 hours.
