7 Best and 7 Worst Foods for Health and Longevity
By Dr. Fuhrman
Because food has the power to heal, my patients often ask me for my top list of healthy food – the anti-oxidant foods, heart healthy foods, and nutritious foods that are central to the Eat To Live program. These high nutrient foods, consumed regularly, will contribute to your health and longevity. What you eat -- now and when you were growing up -- dramatically affects the state of your health. The effect is cumulative, influencing everything from the amount of energy you have (or lack), to your emotional state, medical condition, and ultimately longevity
Top Seven Foods for Good Health and Longevity
Black raspberries
Strawberries
Blueberries
Flax Seeds
Green Leafy Vegetables
Tomatoes
Broccoli sprouts
The healthy and nutritious foods are high antioxidant foods, primarily fruits and vegetables. I selected these healthy foods because they contain the most powerful phytochemicals and anthocyanins which illustrate strong inhibition of chemocarcinogens.
Other foods with high antioxidant and high anti-cancer potential include walnuts, sunflower seeds, pomegranates, beets, cabbage, peppers, and parsley. Make your diet strongly cancer-protective and longevity-favorable by including these highly beneficial, nutritious foods.
A good way to think about nutritious food: Produce is the most important health care your money can buy.
Food also has the potential to harm, and these are effective foods for those attempting to die younger. One of my daughters calls this list the Seven Foods of Death.
Worst Seven Foods for Health and Longevity
Butter
Cheese
Potato Chips and French Fries
Doughnuts
Salt
Sausage, hot dogs
Pickled, smoked or barbequed meat
Foods high in saturated fat and trans fat are consistently associated with high cancer rates. Cheese and butter typically contain over ten times as much saturated fat as fish and white meat chicken and turkey.Salt has been consistently linked to stomach cancer and stroke, even in populations that eat diets low in saturated fat.
Add the carcinogenic potential from heated and overcooked oils (usually trans containing) delivered in doughnuts and fries with the powerful cancer inducing properties of carbohydrates cooked at high heat (acrylamide formation) and you have a great cancer potion.
Needless to say, I advise people to avoid the foods on my “worst list” entirely.
The best foods to eat are the healthy, nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. By making these antioxidant foods the major portion of your diet, you can protect yourself against cancer and other serious diseases. As you extend your youthful vigor into later years, you have contributed to your longevity by Eating to Live with a healthy, nutritious diet.

I Think This is Fascinating....
'>http://
I watched this video with Dr. Cousens and was fascinated by the information on blood and what shapes the blood cells go into when they are diseased. I think he has similar information as Dr. Young. It looks like they are helping people with serious diseases that have been thought to be irreversable. Very exciting.

Discover This Fruit I Never Heard Of
As I talked about above, Kevin Gianni talks alot about eating raw food which is one of my favorite things to do. This is why I enjoy the blog so much.
Raw Food, Fitness, Life and Music
I've been visiting the blog from Kevin Gianni where he is trying to change the world "one show at a time". I am enjoying it, especially the food preparation videos.
The fitness videos are okay except for the part where he is twisting to warm up before doing some ab exercises and the lack of any attention to core stabilization awareness while performing the exercises. This could lead to a back injury.
So just make sure you tighten your abs, buttock and pelvic area if you perform the exercises in this blog. Otherwise, I like the blog very much and enjoy the food preparation tips in the kitchen. Next time I go to the grocery store I'm buying some collards so I can make the vegetable wraps. Her is the link to the blog. Enjoy.

Cellulite Does Not Descriminate
I was discussing cellulite with a girlfriend today and some of the products that are out in the market. It seems that there is a epidemic of cellulite in the world. Even those celebrities that are firm and fit still have cellulite.
Apparently, there is a product by Nu Skin that can be used at home. Its a Galvanic device the improves the appearance of cellulite. I haven't tried it yet but I will soon as I am very skeptical. Heck, if Beyonce and the other celebs haven't found a cure what hope is there for me? This device reportedly also can improve hair growth, tone skin and muscle and lift your butt! Does this sound too good to be true? Here is the German video on this product:
I don't know. I wonder how many of these treatments it takes and what the cost is of this device and the creams and gels. I would think that the general public would lean towards a more faster and permanent result like plastic surgery. What do you think?

Could This Be My Next Comfortable Shoe?
I've been wearing the MBT Shoes for three months. My posture has definitely improved as well as leg, butt and lower abs have become more toned. Being on my feet every day for 5-8 hours still makes my legs and feet feel tired and sore. However to a lesser extent than any other shoe I have tried so far. I have not tried the Z-Coil she yet and I am in the process of researching them. Again, another ugly shoe.
I do not like the look of the coil in the heel. I understand it costs $35 to add a cover over the coil. The shoes cost around $200. (MBT shoes cost around $255 depending on the style.) I think it would be well worth it. I saw a couple of nurses wearing the Z-Coil athletic shoe at Stanford Hospital. In speaking with them, they stated that the shoes really alleviate the impact on their feet and legs.
Here is a short video showing the athletic shoe. Picture a white leather cover over the heel area.
