Eat lots of fruits and veggies. try to make 50% of your diet fruits and veggies. the other 50% should be Whole grain, beans, nuts/seeds.

if fruits and veggies don't sound appealing, it's usually because someone's taste buds have been blasted to death with artificial ingredients. but, if you get off all that stuff for a few months, your normal taste buds should re-emerge.

Fasting has been shown to have countless numerous benefits that is extremely powerful for many purposes.

Be Careful with Supplements. in the US they are COMPLETELY unregulated. They could put whatever they wanted in there, even if it contradicts what's on the label. You don't need supplements in the first place. Just eat food. Nature's food already has everything the body could ever want. humans spent millions of years adapting to Nature's food, there's nothing better out there than that.

Thanks. I believe I can improve my diet with more veggies, fruits and grains. My diet has a lot of animal protein .

Yeah supplement market in US is crazy. I am another country where I buy from a great source when I need to complete my diet.

I believe that if you do that, your problems are going to get worse. Ketogenic diet (with animal protein) has been credited to cure lots of autoimmune diseases, diabetes and to lose useless weight.

That sounds like a great start!

Once in a while, i like to take a hike in the forest and look around and marvel at all the nature. It's really impressive. And to think, that everything you see before your eyes was the only thing humans had to eat: mostly edible weeds, various types of leafy green veggies, and whenever they were lucky enough to find it, they'd gorge themselves on a fruit tree/bush. One of the things you'll notice very quickly is how much abundance of choice we have in the supermarket (compared to how little in the forests and plains) with so much access to so many delicious fruits and veggies - it really makes you greatful for all the abundance we now have.

Do you have some articles on why fasting is good ?
