What follows is an article I prepared for all ages. (See also the attached Related Link.)
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise.
Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.).
This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fads. And think twice before using any dietary supplements.
In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), some dairy, and a small amount of sweets. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Another general thing that may be said is: the less processed foods, the better. The less junk food, the better. The less sweetened drinks, the better. But even these things may be considered as treats to be sampled on occasion.
Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one method of tweaking one's food habits.

Why do people eat other animals?
1) People eat meat simply because they need to in order to survive. Whether they enjoy it or not is not the issue, the fact is that they need the proteins and iron etc that can only come from meat. 2) People can get their protein and biological requirements from vegetables and dietry suppliments. We have the technology to fulfill our needs without eating meat. But people eat meat because they enjoy it. 3) Number 2 applies, but people also experiment with meat from many different species. They will eat meat that they may not enjoy, simply to make a social statement. Eating the flesh of rare animals costs alot and signifies ones social status.
