  • Nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden has created several lists of healthful foods people should be eating but aren't. But some of his favorites, like purslane, guava and goji berries, aren't always available at regular grocery stores. I asked Dr. Bowden, author of "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth," to update his list with some favorite foods that are easy to find but don't always find their way into our shopping carts. Here's his advice.\n\n 1. Beets: Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.\n How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.\n 2. Cabbage: Loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost cancer-fighting enzymes.\n How to eat: Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches.\n 3. Swiss chard: A leafy green vegetable packed with carotenoids that protect aging eyes.\n How to eat it: Chop and saute in olive oil.\n 4. Cinnamon: May help control blood sugar and cholesterol.\n How to eat it: Sprinkle on coffee or oatmeal.\n 5. Pomegranate juice: Appears to lower blood pressure and loaded with antioxidants.\n How to eat: Just drink it.\n 6. Dried plums: Okay, so they are really prunes, but they are packed with antioxidants.\n How to eat: Wrapped in prosciutto and baked.\n 7. Pumpkin seeds: The most nutritious part of the pumpkin and packed with magnesium; high levels of the mineral are associated with lower risk for early death.\n How to eat: Roasted as a snack, or sprinkled on salad.\n 8. Sardines: Dr. Bowden calls them "health food in a can." They are high in omega-3's, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.\n How to eat: Choose sardines packed in olive or sardine oil. Eat plain, mixed with salad, on toast, or mashed

    • The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating

    • Reducing God to a projection of our own wishes trivializes divine sovereignty and fails to explain how both good and evil have a place in the divine plan. “There are plenty of comfortable people who can say, ‘God’s on my side,’ ” Harris says. “But they couldn’t turn around and say, ‘God gave me cancer.
    • Calvinism is a theology predicated on paradox: God has predestined every human being’s actions, yet we are still to blame for our sins; we are totally depraved, yet held to the impossible standard of divine law. These teachings do not jibe with Enlightenment ideas about human capacity, yet they have appealed to a wide range of modern intellectuals, especially those who stressed the dangers of human hubris in the wake of World War I.
    • Moreover, the Bible tells him that to seek salvation by self-righteous clean living is to behave like a Pharisee.
