The Healthy Food Grocery List

The World's Healthiest Foods have been listed. Easy shopping now that you have this list. Please feel free to print it and keep it with you so you can refer back to it when you feel a little lost.

The World's Healthiest Foods have been selected because they are among the richest sources of many of the essential nutrients needed for optimal health. We used a concept called nutrient density to determine which foods have the highest nutritional value.

The World's Healthiest Foods are common "everyday" foods. These include the fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, lean meats, fish, olive oil, herbs and spices that are familiar to most people.
