VEGETABLES - Eat a minimum of 5 servings of vegetables (Pages 36 - 40

FORWARD

This book answers the age old question “What should I eat?” As a man who loves fast and fried foods to stop and recognize how those foods and poor habits have negatively affected his family and friends from sickness, disease, and even death and then choose a different path for himself is very commendable.

True health incorporates nutrition (proper nutrients in and detox out), exercise, rest, water, sun, as well as spiritual, mental and emotional well-being. They are all interrelated. This book is a great resource for anyone desiring to be healthy. In the first half of this book you will find important information about the benefits of foods. In the second half you will find recipes to use healthy foods.

Since we are what we eat, take the time to think about what you actually consume on a daily, weekly and annual basis. With the goal to live to be healthy at 100, you will want to build your house with solid material and not with things proven to fail. Have you ever even heard of anyone eating too many fresh raw pesticide and herbicide free fruits and vegetables?

This book was designed to combat the top 10 killers of men and women in America because these deaths are mostly preventable with lifestyle changes. There may be many foods or nutrients you haven’t heard of before or never knew you should be consuming on a regular basis but the good news is that it can all be found in the foods that God created for us!

To further increase your chances of success in fighting disease with prevention avoid wheat, sugar, fried foods, processed foods, red meat, corn, soy, soda and dairy. These foods have all been linked to negative health outcomes for many. Strive for organic, wild, free range, certified humane, non-GMO or foods you grow yourself. Having dark green vegetables in your daily smoothie increases your chlorophyll intake and helps clean out the plaque that builds up in your arteries. Be sure to have a protein and a healthy fat in each meal!

You can make a dramatic impact on your own life. When you start with whole foods, you’ll be surprised at what you can make!
