Why are these foods considered to be so healthy by so many?

The fruits and vegetables are all powerhouses of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, having a high content of phytochemicals, dietary fiber and other important nutrients.

The cereals and oats are the whole grain versions, which represent slow-releasing carbohydrates and lots of dietary fiber, both of which help control blood sugar levels and aid in weight loss.

The nuts and olive oil are excellent sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are considered healthy fats and which are needed by both the body and the brain.
