Just call them the Fantastic Five; a group of disease-fighting superfoods that boost energy while helping to vanquish illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, cancer and more.
Liz Pearson, registered dietician, co-author of Ultimate Foods for Ultimate Health and author of the soon-to-be-released Broccoli, Love and Dark Chocolate sings the praises of "superstar" foods: 100 per cent whole grains, berries, broccoli, nuts and dark chocolate.
