If you have any interest in food and all the health benefits that come with eating certain foods, then you may want to take a gander at whfoods.com. The ‘w and h’ stand for ‘world’s healthiest’ and this website lists them all…practically.
I came across this site about a year ago and have been a faithful whfooder ever since. I admit that my (almost) daily visits to this site have fueled my obsession with eating healthy. Learning that something was good for me became reason enough to add it to my weekly menu. A perfect example is fish. I’ve never been a fan of fish, or any seafood for that matter, but the health benefits make it worth it to me.
The section that I frequent most often is the A-Z list. This list is amazingly complete and you can find almost anything you are looking for, provided it has health benefits. If you are trying to convince yourself that a chili cheese dog or a slice of chocolate cake are good for you and are hoping to find them listed somewhere on this site, think again.
For each item on the list, you can find out the quantity of nutrients per serving listed in chart form, as well as a history of the food, a description, how to select an store it and of course, how to enjoy it.
The charts are my favourite. For example, last night we ate:
Now, if I could only cut out the ice cream and cookie portion of the meal…
Brad B - This site is excellent. Very informative. Thanx 🙂
Kris - I’ve been using this site for a long time…it’s great. Someone recommended it to me last year when I was trying to figure out how to incorporate whole grains into my daily diet and it was a big help. Looks like a tasty dinner!
Three cheers for bulgur wheat!
