“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.” – Michael Pollan
In Short:
- For optimal health, a trim waistline, and a disease-free, long life, eat fresh, whole, seasonal foods. Not from a box or a bag. But from a farm. Make sense? It’s as easy as…
- Eating less meat and dairy, and more beans, low-mercury fish and healthy plant-based fats like nuts, seeds, avocados, and healthy oils.
- Eating more vegetables and greens!!! Better yet, eat mostly vegetables and greens! They are nature’s perfect foods. Here are all the benefits of “eating the rainbow” — making sure your plate is full of a broad spectrum of delicious, vibrantly colored whole foods.
- Eating less processed grains and flours, and more whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, millet and oats.
- Eating less sugar. If you need a little sweetness, here are 3 natural sweeteners to try, and 3 toxic sugar substitutes to avoid!
- Beware of these junk foods that are being marketed to you as health foods. Like I said, WHOLE foods are the key!
- Drink lots of fresh, purified water — if you need motivation, here are 6 reasons why water is nature’s medicine!
