HEALTHIEST FOODS- DARK LEAFY GREENS - contains calcium, iron, and amino acids necessary to form protein molecules. Plant based proteins do not cause metabolic acidosis which is caused by consumption of excess animal flesh. Dark leafy greens also contains healthy fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.- COLORFUL VEGETABLES - contains antioxidants, fiber, and phytochemicals that are not available in meat and dairy. Vegetables contain minerals and fiber that fill you up and help you maintain a healthy colon and digestive system. Many provide potassium.- WHOLE GRAINS - contain low glycemic calories and essential amino acids used to build protein. Brown rice and quinoa contain lots of fiber.- LEGUMES - contain a complementary set of essential amino acids that complement those consumed through whole grains. Contains calories and provides lots of fiber.- NON-CITRUS WHOLE FRUIT - Adds important phytonutrients not available in meat and dairy.- SOME NUTS - Ground flax seeds provide the required fatty acids.These food cateogies are part of a Whole Food, Plant-Based (WFPB) diet that is recommended by the following nutrition researchers:Dean OrnishNeal BarnardJoel FuhrmanT.
