Imagine you were stranded on a desert island and had only 10 foods at your disposal. For your health you had better hope there was more than cheesecake, chocolate truffles and jelly beans. In fact, it is incredibly hard to choose just ten foods, but here are my picks.Â
For the record, I am no dietician, but I believe these make a good combination of pretty much all the nutrients we need. I would love to hear some discussion of this, so please provide some feedback in the comment space below.
- Broccoli
- Eggs
- Salmon
- Almonds
- Blueberries
- Milk (1%)
- Multigrain bread
- Cantaloupes
- Garlic
- Beans (not sure which type)
Of course, the reality of being trapped on a desert island would be that you would have mostly fish and leaves to eat, but this is just for fun.

Peanut butter could be a good one for protein purposes.

Eating healthy foods and prevent so many things! Great List!

It sounds like a pretty good list although I think I would replace the salmon with something else. I don’t eat meat that I would be able to take something almost as good as it.

Also considering adding Quinoa to the list. Supposedly a high-protein and complete protein grain. Tastes pretty bland without seasoning, though. But what would it replace? The bread? This brings us to the fallacy in these top ten lists, that variety is almost as important as the specific nutrient each one offers.

Thats a good list! Think you can add some sort of greens or dates or carrot for iron and vitamins. What is 1% in the milk? Is it fat?
