Happy new year! I hope 2012 brings you happiness and good health. To start your year off, below are a few of my favorite super foods for 2012.

1. Brazil Nuts: a tree nut that is a great source of selenium and can help fight against cancer

2. Sardines: high in omega’3s and low in mercury make them not only healthy but safe

3. Butternut Squash: One of my favorite winter fruits! What a great source of beta-carotene and calcium

4. Edamame: What a great snack and appetizer–and easy to prepare! And it will also help lower your LDL cholesterol and strengthen your bones

I hope these foods bring you heath in the new year! For more tips throughout the month like us on facebook and follow us on twitter!
