Interesting Book
Tonight I have been reading a book called "Eat to Live" by Dr. Fuhrman.
He is really giving more science about cancer studies, etc. that show a strong
correlation between eating animal protein and processed foods and all kinds of cancer.
His recommendation is to eat a vegan diet, but he particularly emphasizes that
we need to eat large quantities of green salads and lightly cooked vegetables
to get their protective qualities. He also emphasizes that there is no nutritional
value in olive oil, but the caloric level is really high.
As a result, I think I am going to make a few more changes to this regimen.
I am going to include more variety of dark green vegetables in my morning
breakfasts - but I am going to steam them instead and perhaps have more.
For lunches I am going to start bringing a big salad of greens with some beans
and perhaps nuts, seeds or avocado. For supper I am going to start having a
big salad before the actual dinner as well.
We'll see what happens!
