The 29 healthiest foods on Earth

In today's fast food-powered culture where nutritional value is measured in how much you can get with a dollar, it makes this list of the world's 29 healthiest foods all the more beneficial. And we are not talking about some exotic hard-to-find edibles that you can't pick up in the supermarket either.

This excellent list points out the top foods and why they are so useful for a diet. It also gives some advice on how to incorporate it into what you're already eating. For instance, did you know that avocados can provide an enormous amount of health benefits and also serve as a mayonnaise substitute? A few slices on a burger or sandwich can supply a prime amount of dietary fiber and cholesterol-fighting oleic acid.

Not a bad trade off for something that is 70-80% fat to begin with. Whether it's lentils, ginger or cantaloupe, we could all stand to inject some healthier foods into our diet. Check out the full list of the 29 healthiest foods to get more ideas on eating better.
