Banana Sam, this guy is rich in more than just potassium, but in an array of nutrients. Yeah this guy is hi GI (Glycemic Index) and proud of it! That's why you eat bananas for quick energy from health promoting sugar. He's also struttin' his stuff because he also knows he's a mainstay in millions of smoothies every day.
The Karote Kid is kickin' because he's getting way more than carotene's in those carrots and all the other vegetables, fruits, beans, raw nuts and seeds and whole grains he's eating. He's getting all the nutrients he needs to stay health, perform and succeed.
This guy is cool cat. There are good reason why this enzyme rich food is so refreshing besides lots of water; he's loaded with nutrients!
She's Berry Beautiful because she like her brothers is antioxidant rich... really rich! She's vibrant healthy and attractive because all those berries have disease proofed herself. She's sweet too ;-)
A new study published in Global Environmental Change shows by cutting meat and dairy consumption by 25 percent, we could reduce two greenhouse gases by 80 percent. This is a big, honking deal. So if you're thinking about moving to a more plant-based diet, welcome aboard and thanks for helping the environment. You'll be helping your wallet, too, because plant-based protein is cheaper than most animal protein, and you'll be helping yourself -- plant-based protein is low in fat and contains zero cholesterol.
I had to post this video on the Paleo diet in a nutshell. My friend Cindy just sent it to me, by email knowing that it would make a great blog post.

When most people think of "healthy" foods, they think of vegetables. They are right. Yet in the same thought process most people will squirm with speculation as to whether or not they can eat these nutrient rich foods in a way that they enjoy. That speculation is about to end as fast as you can say Bok Choy!

There are "health retreats," and then there's Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway! (where I just spent that last 7 days in gastronomic bliss :) Where most health getaways promote eating plans that are hard to follow, lack a scientific foundation, and in the end don't even make sense (try eating like that when you get home!), Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway was the exact opposite.
