26. When you buy salt, choose iodized. Iodine is essential for proper thyroid functioning and for mental development. Iodine was once lacking in the American diet, especially in the Great Lakes region, where deficiency diseases such as goiter (enlarged thyroid) were once common.

The introduction of iodized salt in 1922 did much to correct this. There’s no need to take iodine supplements.
27. Check out the broccoli. It’s a powerhouse of nutrition. One cup of chopped broccoli supplies the daily requirement of vitamin C, plus beta carotene (and other carotenoids), niacin, calcium, thiamin, vitamin E, and 25% of your daily fiber needs. Not only that, but other substances in broccoli, such as sulforaphane, may also protect against cancer. All this for only 30 calories. And don’t forget other cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collards, mustard greens, and Brussels sprouts.
28. Rounding out the top 10 nutrition all­stars among fruits and vegetables, along with broccoli and kale, are cantaloupe, carrots, mangoes, pumpkin, red bell peppers, spinach, strawberries, and sweet potato.
29. To get less mercury from canned tuna, choose chunk light tuna instead of albacore (solid white)—this is especially important for pregnant women and children. Albacore has, on average, about four times more mercury than chunk light, and some cans of albacore exceed the maximum mercury levels set for women of childbearing age. Most light tuna, which actually is darker than albacore, comes from smaller varieties, and smaller fish tend to have less mercury.
30. To ward off strokes, eat more fruits. A large Danish study found that people who ate the most fruit had a 40% lower risk of ischemic stroke, the most common type, compared to those who ate little fruit. Citrus fruits were most protective. The likely protective elements in these foods are vitamin C and flavonoid pigments, plus an array of other antioxidants and phytochemicals.
