  grains into your day oatmeal for breakfast, a
  sandwich on whole-grain chapatti at lunch, and
  whole-wheat pasta or brown rice for dinner.

  lentils, black-eyed peas, and kidney, garbanzo,
  or soy beans to your diet. Try them in chili and
  soups, salads, and pasta dishes. Besides
  providing protein and fiber, they are also good
  sources of key nutrients, such as iron, folate,
  calcium, and zinc.

  brain and eyes, and salmon is a great source.
