HEALTHY DIET

by Roy Posner

The table below shows what is healthful and unhealthful foods in one's diet. It factors in the needs for and the proper balance of (low) fat, (reduced) carbohydrates, (moderate) protein, minerals, vitamins, nutrients, etc. based on the latest studies. This can support a healthy body, heart, circulation, reduce cancers (breast, colon, prostate, etc.), reduce diabetes, reduce pain (e.g. arthritis), and promote more energy and a general sense of well-being. Of course one's level of stress, attitudes, level of consciousness in general, level of consciousness as it relates specifically to the body are of equal, if not greater importance, in maintenance of general physical health.
