Here are 10 superfoods that offer a good start to a balanced diet for men.

1. Seafood Contains heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids!

2. Nuts Nuts are excellent in reducing LDL (bad cholesterol).

3. Whole Grains Whole grains provide many vitamins and minerals as well as fiber.

4. Tomatoes Tomatoes are the best source of lycopene which is linked to reduced risk of prostate cancer.

5. Red and Orange Vegetables Loaded with Vitamin C and Beta-carotene
