Healthy Food
Healthy Food means different things to different people, but you will see 3 primary areas of focus here:
- Michael Pollan's concept of "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
- Dr. Joel Fuhrman's cancer fighting G-BOMBS (Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds)
- Dan Beutner's research into the diets of the longest living populations of the world, residents of the so-called 'Blue Zones."
