| To maintain a healthy mouth, make sure your meals are centered on whole fresh foods, and include a high-protein breakfast. Products rich in calcium, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and green, leafy vegetables, will help to produce strong teeth. Raw fruits and vegetables are particularly important because of their ability to enhance enzyme functioning.
•Supplements and Herbs...Vitamins E, A, and D are beneficial to healthy teeth and gums, and vitamin C (500 mg four times daily) is important for gum health and will help fight plaque. | J. Robert Hatherill See book keywords and concepts | The menu plan of the cancer-busting regimen is simple and straightforward: þCombine fresh foods from the Super Eight Food Groups. þSubstantially reduce consumption of meat, seafood, and dairy products. þAvoid processed food products such as instant potatoes, cake, frozen dinners, packaged lunch meats, bologna, and hot dogs. Many processed foods are high-calorie foods that provide empty calories (calories from sugar and fat) that have been stripped of cancer-busting agents. | Elson M. Haas, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Also, in general, I advocate eating a predominantly natural diet containing fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans, with only moderate amounts of the more concentrated proteins such as eggs, milk products, and flesh foods, rather than the opposite—one consisting mainly of meats, dairy products, and refined foods and only occasional fresh foods, a diet that is all too common in our society.
I will discuss the basic foods from the least concentrated to the most, basically, from fruits to animal meats. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Although I do not generally recommend dehydrated food as a regular part of one's diet (because its SOEF energy is depleted as compared to fresh foods), dehydrated foods are very handy on camping trips. Dehydrated foods are also good to take traveling in cars and on airline trips. Foods dehydrated at n8° F are the closest to live foods in energy. Once these foods are exposed to water, the enzymes are often reactivated with a minimal loss. | Phyllis A. Balch, CNC See book keywords and concepts | Sulfites are sprayed on fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables to keep them from discoloring, and are added to wine, beer, and some processed foods as preservatives. Sulfites induce hives, angioedema, and asthma in sensitive individuals.
Not all hives are caused by allergies. A form of hives known as dermographic urticaria occurs when moderate amounts of pressure are applied to the skin. These welts may appear as the result of contact with another person, bedding, furniture, jewelry, towels, or watchbands. They generally appear and subside quickly, but can last as long as forty-eight hours. | | Fresh foods that are minimally processed and do not require cooking have the lowest energy density. For example, a fresh apple and a dried apple have the same number of calories, but the fresh apple is bulkier and more satisfying. A slice of fat-free apple pie is no more filling than an apple, but it has added sugar and many more calories, and regular apple pie has still more calories from the added fat.
Ll Never reward success in following a diet with food. Instead, make occasional treats a part of your overall eating plan, reducing other foods to compensate for the special food. | Paul Pitchford See book keywords and concepts | The regeneration diets and similar plans are not only low or absent in such damp, stagnancy-producing items as refined foods, heavy fats, dairy products, and meats, but rich in whole fresh foods as well as the special features listed at the end of the above paragraph, all of which speed up the metabolism.
People who contract HIV do not always develop AIDS symptoms, even for years afterward in some cases. Evidently, their immune system is sufficiently strong to keep HIV in check. | Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | Sulfites are sprayed on fresh foods such as shrimp, fruits, and vegetables. They are also used as antioxidants and preservatives in many pharmaceuticals. Sulfites have caused such a wide range of health problems, including asthma and hives, that their use on fruits and vegetables has been banned in the United States. However, sulfites are still found in many other foods, especially wine and beer. Wine and beer drinkers typically consume up to 10 mg of sulfites per day even with moderate drinking (two to three glasses of wine or beer). | Dr. Gary Null See book keywords and concepts | As mentioned earlier, a diet that is largely vegetarian and low in fat, mainly consisting of whole fresh foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, protects against breast cancer. In addition, certain foods are medicinal in their ability to protect against breast cancer. They include: Soybeans, soy products, and lima beans. Isoflavones and phytoestrogens found in soybeans, soy products, and lima beans protect against cancer. The low incidence of breast cancer among Japanese women is largely attributed to the widespread use of soybeans. Flax. | Bill Gottlieb See book keywords and concepts | The best approach is "five or six smaller feedings, with plenty of fresh foods," she says. She recommends a small breakfast, a good midmorning snack, a light lunch, a midafternoon snack, dinner, and a small snack before bed. any weakness, cut back to one a week, says Dr. Krohn.

Sulfites have caused such a wide range of health problems, such as asthma and urticaria, that their use on fruits and vegetables has been banned in the US.65
The average person consumes an average of 2-3 mg/ day of sulfites. Wine and beer drinkers typically consume up to 10 mg/day and individuals who rely on restaurants for meals may ingest up to 150 mg/day. | Dr. John Heinerman See book keywords and concepts | In that case, a pet's diet should be quickly adjusted to include more fresh foods (that is, fresh meat, fresh vegetables, and cooked fresh grains).
And make sure that your veterinarian has been apprised of any unusual lumps on the animal's body. Say, for instance, if you're running your hands over the pet's chest and abdominal area you discover an early mammary tumor that would otherwise be overlooked and go undetected until it was too late. Problems with a pet's eyes or ears also are important reasons to pay your vet a visit. | Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | The status of mineral levels in foods is not a mystery; the color and flavor of fresh foods reflect the mineral values of the soil in which they were grown and thus these values in the foods themselves. | Elson M. Haas, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | We need to change the diet to one based on more wholesome, fresh foods, rather than go on a special temporary therapeutic plan. After many years of digestive abuse, these more natural foods may feel foreign and appear hard to digest and utilize. With a little time, however, this type of diet will feel much better.
Current dietetic policies and applications are responsible for school and hospital food, which is notoriously poor, even though it attempts to apply the established concepts of good nutrition and a balanced diet. | Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | It includes fresh foods that have been cooked. These foods can be slightly life-sustaining in the short term but are gradually life-force-depleting in the long term, because they require the human organism to give of its SOEFs to reactivate the SOEFs of the cooked foods so they can be absorbed. The end result is a slow depletion of the human SOEFs. Biostatic foods are cooked or minimally processed foods, as well as foods that are raw but no longer fresh.
The fourth category of foods is called "biocidic. | | Eat the simple, fresh foods and avoid the foods with lots of sauces. Sometimes these sauces sit around for a long enough time that bacteria begin to grow in them. It is also a good idea to ask if any items have monosodium glutamate (MSG), a harmful additive that causes a violent reaction in some people. Salad bar items are sometimes sprayed with sulfites to help preserve the appearance of the displayed foods.
The best policy when taking car trips of a few days is being prepared. Our family often takes an ice chest filled with several days' food when we go traveling. | the Editors of FC&A Medical Publishing See book keywords and concepts | If you're experiencing memory loss, maybe all you need is a new, healthier diet.

See book keywords and concepts | Dried Fruit and Vegetable Supplements
Though ideally we would all like to get our phytochemicals from fresh foods, in reality, this is often difficult for some and virtually impossible for others. To make up for this shortfall, several health-food stores offer dried fruits and vegetables in capsule and powdered forms, often called green foods or whole-food supplements. Sol-Ray offers indole-3-carbinol with their dried cruciferous vegetables. Solgar sells a broccoli extract enhanced with 200 micrograms of additional sulforaphane. | Henry Pasternak, D.V.M., C.V.A. See book keywords and concepts | In fact, most fresh foods in their natural state are a good source of dietary chromium complexes. Nutritional yeast has been shown to be the highest source of GTF. Refined and processed foods may have as much as 80 percent of their naturally occurring chromium removed.
GTF along with insulin make it easier for carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids to pass from the blood into the cells of various tissues. It also promotes the metabolism of nutrients within the cells. When GTF is lacking, more insulin is needed to perform these jobs. | Elaine Feuer See book keywords and concepts | Vegetables are grown in chemical fertilizers and sprayed with pesticides. fresh foods are exposed to artificial dyes and

When we buy canned vegetables, we are losing more than 50 percent of the Vitamin B5 and Bg found in green vegetables, 70 percent of the cobalt from carrots, and 80 percent of the zinc from tomatoes. | George R. Schwartz See book keywords and concepts | These can be a good source for fresh foods at inexpensive prices. Be aware: Fresh fruits and vegetables often are sprayed or coated with a variety of chemicals; fresh fish may be sprayed with an MSG solution; and freshly cooked seafood may be boiled or breaded with an MSG mixture. Ground beef is sometimes mixed with fillers such as carrageenan, a substance from seaweed designed to give food a slippery feel, which may contain MSG.

The EFAs are used in a variety of body functions. They act as the lipids in the membranes of all body cells. They prevent build-up of arterial plaque. They are the precursors of the prostaglandins that are needed by our immune systems. At least 200 articles a year studying the EFAs are published in the scientific journals. | Stephen T., M.D. Sinatra See book keywords and concepts | I suggest a combination of fresh foods and nutritional supplements.
Some people question why they need to take vitamins and minerals in a supplemental form when they can get them in the foods they eat. Unfortunately, the "apple a day" principle does not hold as true today as it did a century ago. In this day and age, the need for vitamin and mineral supplementation is critical. Few adults (perhaps 9 percent) eat a balanced diet containing at least five to nine servings of fruits or vegetables per day. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | If the majority of meals are comprised of whole, fresh foods, then a little junk food, some alcohol, and a piece of candy here or there won't hurt. But when too few whole foods are consumed, as compared to "stressor" foods (those lacking in nutritional value), the body's physiology is damaged.
According to Buck Levin, Ph.D., the average U.S. supermarket stocks over 24,000 items whose true 'natures' have often been drastically altered and ultimately devitalized. | Gary Null See book keywords and concepts | As mentioned earlier, a diet that is largely vegetarian and low in fat, mainly consisting of whole fresh foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, protects against breast cancer.

N othing beats the taste of ripe, fresh fruits and vegetables in season—sweet, juicy melon in summer, a just-picked ear of corn, a succulent red tomato—this is what good eating is all about. And fresh foods are packed with more than just good taste. Your mother was right to tell you to eat your vegetables—vegetables, along with fruits and whole grains, are our best sources of vitamins and minerals, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. | | Gardening is an especially good way to introduce kids to the wonders of nature and the delicious tastes of truly fresh foods. Even kids who turn up their noses at anything green on their plates will find it hard not to enjoy their home-grown veggies. Here are some steps to successful organic gardening at home (see page 208 for more organic gardening resources):
þ Plan ahead—plan to grow some lettuce, at least a row of beans, and tomatoes; don't plant too many root crops the first year, since your soil will probably need building before you can raise those successfully. | Dr. Joseph M. Kadans, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | Preparation: When fresh figs are in season they should be eaten abundantly, especially by children, for their high mineral content (two or four times higher than that of most fresh foods). Because figs are highly perishable they are not shipped to any great extent, but are usually prepared as jams, canned, or dried. The drying of this fruit does not inhibit its nutritional value; in fact, fruits that are sun-dried are found to be nutritionally richer.
Figs with honey is a superb dessert, delicious and easy to prepare during the summer when fresh figs are available. | Velma J. Keith and Monteen Gordon See book keywords and concepts | | They can be sprouted so one can have fresh foods within 3 days, (alfalfa, lentils, pinto beans, radishes, etc.)
