Could someone from the Member Center please ask a question to Dr Fuhrman for me?
I've a sister, a brother, a cousin who are junk-eaters and hence always sick and complaining of some ailment.
Since I would like them to be healthy and enjoy life I've given to them Eat2Live books hopefull it could convince them to change their dietary habits for the better.
The verdict is "no way I'm going to give up pizza, lasagna, fried eggs, steaks, salmon and cakes, but I don't mind eating more veggies"
Well, that doesn't surprise me as our parents have always fed us lot of vegetables and never forced us to eat them, they ate them and cooked them in tasty ways and we loved them as kids.
On Eat2Live Dr Fuhrman stresses the importance of eating high nutrient foods more than abstaining from "bad foods" consumption. He even claims that the problem with other diets is that by consuming junk foods and animal foods you don't consume enough vegetables and greens who are packed with health-promoting and disease-preventing antioxidants and phytochemicals
I had been already hooked on the theory by reading Bircher-Benner book when I discovered Eat2Live. Bircher-Benner used to say that greens are vital and the real food that protects us from aging, disease and weakness
Vegetables are so low caloric that my siblings could eat their pound of raw veggies and poud of cooked veggies even if they keep eating the things they eat. I was wondering if the fact alone that they would get all the beneficial effects of the nutrients in greens and vegetables would be enough to counteract the effect of the other junk they're eating and would prevent phytochemicals, antioxidants and minerals deficiency (at least to some extent)
Thanks
Davide
