Q: I have eaten very poorly over the past several years and I am making a commitment to follow a healthy diet and I was wondering what foods I should eat? - Joan

A: I am so glad you are making the decision to change your lifestyle with a healthy diet. You will reap the benefits with a better immune system, lower blood pressure and cholesterol and a healthy weight. Here's a list of foods you should consume:

• Grass fed, organic dairy products - milk, cheese, butter
• Free range eggs - rich in fat soluble vitamins
• Fish oil - High in EPA/DHA
• Coconut oil - High in MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
• Fermented products - sauerkraut and kim-chi - high in enzymes
• Sprouted grain products - Ezekiel 4:9 Bread
• Organic fruits - choose at least 2 per day
• Organic vegetables - several per day, use raw, in salads, steamed and juiced
• Ocean fish
• Organic nuts and seeds
• Free Range beef and poultry
• Tropical fruits, papaya, pineapple, mangoes, coconut- digestive aids
• Pure water - half your body weight in ounces

Eliminate white flour and white sugar products. Don't consume high fat fast-foods, hydrogenated oils and canned foods. Avoid frozen dinners and boxed, packaged foods that are high in sodium. Use natural sweeteners and eliminate aspartame and sucralose. When you follow this healthy eating plan and start to feel the benefits, you will never want to go back to your old eating habits!
