TC's Magic 13 Power Foods

TC Luoma has been in the health business for a while. He was the original editor of Muscle Media 2000 back when it was hardcore (now defunct). He founded Testosterone Magazine and Biotest (supplements) back in the late 1990s.

TC has assembled his list of the magic 13 power foods for general health, but especially for athletes.
1. Broccoli
2. Wild Salmon
3. Grass-Fed Beef
4. Walnuts
5. Olive Oil
6. Blueberries
7. Flaxseed
8. Pumpkin
9. Spinach
10. Tomatoes
11. Turkey Breast
12. Yogurt
13. Shiitake Mushrooms

For the reasoning on each choice, read the whole article.

I agree with all of his choices and have been advocating a lot of the same foods for years. I often substitute yams for pumpkin (easier to get year-round) and seldom actually recommend the Shiitake mushrooms since so few people will actually eat them, but the rest of the list is solid.
