Nutrient Dense Foods

If we ate the correct foods all the time we might not need supplements to maintain our health. Supplements are a fail safe way of making sure that we get all the essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids that we need to sustain health. Makes sense to me.

Below is a list of nutrient dense foods categorized by Dr. Fuhrman. If my memory serves me well he is the same fellow who recommends fasting as a way to a healthier life. I have fasted up to 21 days at a time and it is easier than one might think. I'll discuss this later.
