AVOCADOS: The fruit's healthy fats help with bone mass, increase calcium and absorption of vitamin A antioxidants, and are powerful anti-inflammatory agents. They're also rich in phytochemicals, which may diminish cellular UV damage.

Serving Suggestions: Stir up some guacamole or dice over salads; also, try cooking with avocado oil, which has the highest smoking point of any plant-based oil.
