Hi Everyone,
I would like to get everyoneÂ’s input on the subject of a well rounded diet. Most of us limit ourselves to the things we like (I know I do) and as far as nutrition is concerned, this is not always good. We as living and raw fooders have a much more varied diet than cooked food eaters and our nutritional intake is much better but eating for optimum nutrition does require a little thought.
In the past, I never gave what I ate much thought and just practiced a shotgun approach to nutrition.(You know, just eat whatever and hope my body could use it.) Well, as I get older, I can see and feel the effects of this way of eating. My body’s “vital energy” is at an all time low and that is why I am starting this post.
I know there are quiet a few of us that take supplements to supply what is lacking in our diets and thatÂ’s ok but I would like to limit this post to raw & living foods.
In your opinion, what foods would you choose as staples for a well rounded and balanced nutrition out of the following categories:
Acid Fruits:
Sub Acid Fruits:
Fruiting Vegetables:
Leafy Vegetables:
Root Vegetables:
Beans:
Grains:
Seeds:
Sea Vegetables:
Fermented Foods (not necessarily living but thought IÂ’d include it anyway):
