Apples:

Apples contain poly phenols, fiber, vitamin C. You should have one a day! The fight against cancer, heart diseases, asthma and type 2 diabetes. You should consume a variety of apples. Different types of apples have different skin colors which means the phytonutrient content of the skins vary in concentration. They are filled with antioxidants. One apple equals 1500 mg of vitamin C. Sweet apples tend to be red or golden delicious. Fuji and Braeburn are slightly tarter. Granny Smith, Pippens are good for cooking. My personal favorite are honey crisp, they are SO juicy. A great way to eat apples is to slice them with peanut butter. Since I can eat them fresh, I core and leave the peel on, then and dash some walnuts, honey and cinnamon on them and bake for about 20-30 minutes till tender. You can also put them in salads or make applesauce.
Pumpkin:

Pomegranate:

Pomegranates have vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and potassium. You should consume 4 to 6 ounces multiple times a week. You can use them to make juices, vinaigrette's, marinades. Add whole seeds to salads, desserts. You can also buy pom juice at grocery stores.
Turkey:

Turkey(skinless turkey breast) is a source of low fat protein, it has vitamin B 6 and B 12, iron, selenium. You should consume 3 to 4 servings per week about 3 to 4 ounces. It has lots of GOOD saturated fats. A good idea, which I do, is to substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
Spices:

Turmeric-also can be known as saffron, is used as a spice, it's a healing food, it has anti-inflammatory effects.
Oregano-is a warm, aromatic herb, it has volatile oils that have potent anti-bacterial properties.
Thyme-one of the healthiest spices, heals chest and respiratory problems.

Peanuts aren't really nuts, they are legumes and closely related to beans. You can sprinkle chopped nuts on a salad.
