The Mayo Clinic recently released its top 10 "best bets" for eating well. They are in alphabetical order (bummer, we'd prefer rankings!).

Here they are:

Almonds
Apples
Blueberries
Broccoli
Red beans

Spinach
Sweet potatoes
Vegetable juice
Wheat germ

Positive traits of the above include: fiber, vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, proven ability to reduce risk of heart disease and other yucky conditions, low in calorie density, and easily found at your local supermarket.

Athletic-Minded Traveler Notes:

Wheat Germ? Yep. I never really thought of it as a food, but I've been sprinkling Honey Crunch Wheat Germ on our yogurt for years. Hooray.

Vegetable Juice: Make sure you select LOW sodium varieties.
