Also take Flaxseed oil, Omega Fish oil, Good multivitamin, GNC Tri-Flex
Plus these (hardcore bodybuilder) Whey protein, Creatine Monohydrate, ReFeed Anabolic Protein, Pro Performance (Tribulus etc):
The key to this article is “by an adult with a healthy diet”. Seriously? With as healthy diet is nearly impossible to attain these days. Our food is grown for color and sometimes taste, NOT nutritional value. I don’t know of anyone who eats 7-9 services of fruits and vegetables EVERY DAY. Do you?
My wife and I do. Blueberries, raspberries, grapes, apples, peaches, pears, pineapple, bananas... all go GREAT with Greek yogurt for a snack or a dessert.
We eat veggies every way possible. Our recent favorite is using cauliflower in the blender with some cream and butter... just like mashed taters!

Very good points. As a poster boy for poor eating (but not obese), I might eat any significant serving at all of fruits and vegetables three or four times a year -- maybe those would add up to one day a year of adequate intake LOL. Have to start hitting Granny's Buffet more often. But I'm still here, if struggling. a little (not diet related)
First thing I notice looking at the chart -- Tumeric at the bottom??? Sure, if thousands of years of experience with curcumin is all wet.
One serving is a surprisingly small amount. It is only 1/2 cup of raw or cooked food (less for dried). A good sized apple would be 2 servings. One website I looked at said that a cup of sliced bananas is 1 1/3 medium bananas, so a medium banana would be one and a half servings.
And don't even get me started when bing cherries are in season. I found some down to $1.49/lb and annoyed everyone in the office with my piles of stems and pits in the trash.
Veggies, eh, not so much.
Clearly the only way magnesium could end up at the bottom of the bottom tier.
And I can't leave without a jab at the misuse of the word "healthy". The word that should have been used is "healthful".
magnesium- ??????????
Your body can not process calcium with out it .
The average American diet is sorely lacking in it .
Yep. You have to know what counts as a serving of fruits and vegetables. My favorite drink:
We do 4 or 5 fruits each morning with breakfast and at least two veggies with dinner.
One does not need to eat an entire orange, apple, or banana. 3 or 4 slices and a half banana will do.
Knowing how to be an intellectual shopper helps. My wife is a cracker jack label reader and marketing code interpreter.
I don't know how someone who works every day can do this. We're retired and it still takes real effort to get the shopping done.
