Spinach will keep you healthy and get you the goils, but the huge forearms are entirely up to you.

Simplify your life and boost your health with these basic foods that really work. You can nibble on goji berries, whip up noni juice smoothies and stock your shelves with antioxidants. But if you're looking for what really works for optimal health and disease prevention, the best approach is to focus on foods that are rich in disease-fighting phytochemicals.

"Basic foods that have proven health benefits are what we want to emphasize." says Steven Pratt, MD, author of SuperFoods Healthstyle. "For example, blueberries, broccoli and tomatoes have a large number of peer-reviewed published studies substantiating their health benifits. These foods are readily available, inexpensive and have other benefits, such as high fiber content. And they've been used for years, with m no drawbacks, side effects or toxicity; you're never going to see a headline that blueberries are bad for you."
