Ever since I read David Agus's "A Short Guide to a Long Life":
-10 portions of fruit and veggies a day (1 portion: ~ 80g)
-No processed foods.
-Wild caught fish at least twice a week
-Red meat twice a week, at most.
-Anything else is fair game, as long as I make it myself so I know what it contains. Pizzas, pasta, burgers, steak, cakes (with stevia instead of sugar).
-No supplements of any kind.
-No trans fats, additives, fruit juices, smoothies, corn syrups, "natural flavourings" or "concentrated" juices
-As little stuff that I can't pronounce as possible.
I eat out only during social occasions (at least once a week), almost never on my own.
I have been doing this for a year now, although I have been eating healthily for at least five years now.
Results?
- I look five years younger (I am 33). Not my own assessment, but that of other people, mostly females.
- My gut flora changed to the point where I never get diarrhea anymore, a problem I have had since I was very young.
- Blood results could not be better.
- I rarely feel down or moody.
A number of other factors contributed to the above, so diet alone does not fix everything. But I had really underestimated its importance. In retrospect, I shouldn't have been surprised, it is simply paying attention to what goes inside my body.
- Buttons840 9y agoHow much time do you spend preparing food?
- fovc 9y agoThis sounds a bit extreme. I just avoid processed food as much as possible. Include most restaurants in there. Everyone should watch as much of this talk as they can: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
