Strategy
Stop focusing on the bad and start filling up on the good – delicious, flavour-packed, nutrient-rich meals.

SuperFoods are whole foods (as opposed to extracts or supplements) that are nutrient-dense (specifically, with free-radical defeating micronutrients) and low in calories. In SuperFoods Rx, Dr. Steven Pratt spread the word that consuming “super” foods can actually change the course of a person’s biochemistry. In his following book, Dr. Pratt’s Superlist went from 10 to 25 foods. If your goal is to feel well, look fantastic and improve your overall health, mix and match the SuperFoods to reap the rewards. Here are four recipes to help get your meals packing a more nutritious punch.

Superfood Recipes:

Breakfast: Steel Cut Oats and Yogurt, Blueberries and Slice Kiwi

Lunch: Hearty Brown Rice Salad

Dinner: Turkey Cacciatore

Dinner: Brown Rice Pumpkin Risotto

When i get a cold or similiar illness i have toasted garlic and cheese sandwiches, i make toast butter it and crush the garlic and basically use the cheese to cut the hotness of the garlic to make it edible, and you can vary this by adding tomatoes or even use bagels. You will notice the difference usually by the next morning the toxins it kills in your throat etc. are loosened and your feeling less congested.

Would really have preferred the list, as a list, with a clickable feature for the "extra information."
