THE 'GOOD, BETTER, BEST' LIST OF HEALTHY FOODS

June 12, 2019 | by City of Hope

This page adheres to our medical and editorial policy and guidelines.


“What’s important in a healthy diet is variety,” says Jasmyn Walker, Clinical
Oncology Dietitian at our Tulsa hospital. “And what is best for people often
depends on their current state of health and what they are trying to achieve.
There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ diet.” Still, Walker said, it’s good to start by
incorporating as much vegetables and fruit as you can into your diet.

It’s a question that Jasmyn Walker gets asked all the time: What’s the best
thing I could eat if I want to get healthy? “People always want to know how to
get the biggest bang for the buck,” says Walker, Clinical Oncology Dietitian at
our hospital in Tulsa.

It’s not an easy question to answer. “What’s important in a healthy diet is
variety,” Walker says. “And what is best for people often depends on their
current state of health and what they are trying to achieve. There is no
‘one-size-fits-all’ diet.”

Still, Walker said, it’s good to start by incorporating as much vegetables and
fruit as you can into your diet. “The recommendation is that we should have five
to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day,” she says. “And to be
honest, most people find it easier to incorporate fruits into their diets,
rather than vegetables. I realize more people would prefer to eat an apple as
opposed to, say, a beet.”

To give people a bit of guidance, Walker has developed what she calls her “good,
better, best” list of what are considered nutritional powerhouses.

“It’s not that some vegetables aren’t good for you, but that within certain
groups of vegetables, there are those with a greater nutritional density,” she
says. “Getting more plants into one’s diet has been proven to be beneficial in
helping to prevent and fight such things as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.”

For example, the “best” rating for fungi goes not to some rare, exotic species
such as morels or chanterelles, but to the humble and widely available white
button mushroom. Portobello mushrooms, with their large size and meaty texture,
rank as the “better” choice, while shiitakes are the “good” mushrooms.

When it comes to leafy greens, watercress gets the “best” rating as being the
most nutritionally dense green you might toss into a salad, followed by organic
spinach and arugula.

Carrots are good, but in Walker’s estimation, red peppers are better and beet
greens are the best. Similarly, when it comes to berries, nothing packs the
nutritional punch quite like organic strawberries, although blackberries and
blueberries come close.

Kale shows up on the cruciferous vegetable list but only as the “better” choice,
ahead of the now-ubiquitous cauliflower. The “best” choice, however, is napa
cabbage (sometimes called Chinese cabbage).

Here are a few recipes Walker shared to help you make use of "good, better and
best" fruits and vegetables:


CAULIFLOWER TABOULI


INGREDIENTS

½ head cauliflower
2 cups cucumber, chopped
½ cup mint, chopped

    cauliflower quarters in food processor and blend until the cauliflower turns
    into a rice consistency.
 2. Mix all salad ingredients including the lemon zest in a bowl, lifting gently
    and folding so as not to crush the tomatoes.
