In watching PBS's broadcast of Dr. Fuhrman this evening, I found these main points that he presented to be extremely helpful in building up your immune system in order to prevent cancer: 1.) Eat 3 fruits per day. 2.) Eat half a cup of beans per day. 3.)Eat one large salad per day. 4.) Eat some mushrooms (not many are needed because they are so potent) and a half cup of onions per day. 5.) Eat an oversized portion of a steamed green vegetable per day. 6.) Eat 1 ounce of seeds, and/or raw nuts of your choice. So this seems straightforward enough. I'm thinking that a trail mix could take care of the daily portion of nuts, seeds and some of the 3 servings of fruit. Another option could be a nut and fruit topping to a hot cereal like oatmeal. A half cup of beans could be added to a large salad. A marinara sauce could contain the mushrooms and onions, complemented by the oversized order of a steamed green veggie. What are some other ideas of how to incorporate these tips into your daily eating plan in a simple, painless way?? I would love to hear other people's ideas and suggestions!! |
