and reducing the risk of death
from heart disease.
• Bran. The bran in cereal
and bran muffins, along with
whole-wheat bread, is loaded
with insoluble fiber - which
wards off colon cancer and ap-
pendicitis by rushing foods and
toxins out of the intestines.
This talent also accounts for
its ability to end constipation
and hemorrhoids.
• Fish. Some varieties of fish
salmon, mackerel, tuna, her-
ring, whitefish and rainbow
trout - are blessed with the
valuable, heart-strengthening
omega-3 fatty acids credited
with making platelets less sticky
and greatly reducing the risk of
cardiac arrest.

• Garlic. This tasty additive
has been likened to a bacteria-
killing antibiotic. Proponents
claim it fortifies our systems
against everything from colds
and flu to breast and prostate
cancer. It's also been known to
lower blood cholesterol levels.
Of course, one of the benefits
of working all these superfoods
into your diet is that you won't
have much room left for fatty
fast foods and the empty calo-
ries of sweets like cookies and
cakes! Focusing on what we can
eat to stay healthier, rather than
what things break down our
bodies and cause problems, may
even make them easier to swal-
low. ❑
