I've been transitioning to the troglodiet (tm): fresh veggies, legumes, meat. More or less the caveman diet, Atkins, paleo, Eat to Live, etc.

This Dr Terry Wahls TEDx talk has been very motivating.

Dr. Wahls is mitigating her MS thru nutrition. For me, eating lots of vegetables makes my chronic psoriasis go away. When I slack on the nutrition (eg traveling), my psoriasis comes back.

I believe, but cannot prove, that psoriasis is basically external arthritis. I figure better nutrition is improving my health overall, including brain function.

One side effect I did not expect: I now crave hearty kale salads. Years ago I had a gf who was really gunghu for kale, chard, sorrel, and other leafy greens. I could handle it once or at most twice a week. Blech.

Now things are different. Better recipes certainly help. I think once my body got used to the good stuff, it demands more.

Moderate exercise and plenty of sleep too, of course.

Good luck.

That video was intensely great. Personally, when I'm unable (or rather, too lazy) to eat a lot of veggies, I just pop a couple of spirulina and chlorella (algae) tablets, which have all the vitamins except D and B12, if I remember correcly.

Specifically, these ones: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-greenfoods-formulas-c...

I appreciate this point since I really hate vegetables. Can these tablets replace them?

No.

Motivating video indeed. The slide showing what percent of Americans fail to get the RDA for various nutrients is eye-opening. Thanks.
