| Ever since I read David Agus's "A Short Guide to a Long Life": -10 portions of fruit and veggies a day (1 portion: ~ 80g) -No processed foods. -Wild caught fish at least twice a week -Red meat twice a week, at most. -Anything else is fair game, as long as I make it myself so I know what it contains. Pizzas, pasta, burgers, steak, cakes (with stevia instead of sugar). -No supplements of any kind. -No trans fats, additives, fruit juices, smoothies, corn syrups, "natural flavourings" or "concentrated" juices -As little stuff that I can't pronounce as possible. I eat out only during social occasions (at least once a week), almost never on my own. I have been doing this for a year now, although I have been eating healthily for at least five years now. Results? - I look five years younger (I am 33). Not my own assessment, but that of other people, mostly females. - My gut flora changed to the point where I never get diarrhea anymore, a problem I have had since I was very young. - Blood results could not be better. - I rarely feel down or moody. A number of other factors contributed to the above, so diet alone does not fix everything. But I had really underestimated its importance. In retrospect, I shouldn't have been surprised, it is simply paying attention to what goes inside my body. |
Everyone should watch as much of this talk as they can: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
