2:41 ...study suggest the more whole grains you eat, the lower your odds of death by 15%. I thought the odds of death is always 100% lol

[Miikoong904]

im eating a salad right now with lettuce, kale, carrots, buttermilk ranch, and a little bit of lime juice. its pretty good, i don't like the kale though.. i can deal with it.

[ajhrockerboy6]

@Miikoong904 even if you don't like it it's still worth it. we all should be wanting to extend our lives.

[JudasPriestLiam]

So no Snicker's, and Egg McMuffin's?

[FallofDarkness55]

@JudasPriestLiam yes you have to give up candy except extra-dark chocolate and you have to give up fast food items with lots of hydrogenated oils and refined sugars/carbs. If you want to stay healthy you need foods with lots of potent anti-oxidants and you need at least 30 minutes of exercise a day at least three days a week and weight training at least 15 minutes a day twice a week.

Excellent choices, inspirational for those who truly wish to have good health. Some object that all foods are modified, which is not true, when possible buy locally, and it's okay to ask where the fruit and vegetables come from. thanks so much for posting this!

[FallofDarkness55]

@maple1255 i say yes to optimal health. Sadly many americans take their bodies for granted.

[froseo9]

too bad I'm allergic to nuts :/

[optimumperformance]

Grains are the worst thing you can have. Grains are promoted for financial reason mostly by the US government who are the largest exporter of grains in the world.

[TheInfamousPirate]

Next year i'll eat healthy..

[BIGPROOF5]

thanks a lot شكرا

[buckwats]

They forgot about 711 chili and cheese. Your body will never decay or need to be inbalmed when you die at age 45. Oh and 211 and marlbros.

[Metsada007]

None of these foods are healthy anymore since many of them are genetically modified !!!!

[CantWeedThis]

@Metsada007 "NONE of these foods are healthy anymore since MANY of them are genetically modified" what ? lol So lets just eat twinkies then right lol

[Metsada007]

@CantWeedThis

Genetic modification is leading to a massive increase in diseases globally, including new diseases we haven't heard of which are popping up constantly. They are destroying the world only to earn more money than they already do.

olive oil is almost 100% monounsaturated fat devoid of any real nutrients, and Kale beats spinach as it is more dense in vital nutrients.

[Itugen88]

@greg4161 Monounsaturated fat is a macronutrient, so still technically a nutrient (and the healthiest fat).

[Metsada007]

@greg4161

Real quality olive oil is packed with nutrients. Olive oil has been part of the human diet for more than 5000 years.

[DEPARTURES19]

[1NX9]

Tomatoes Olive Oil Red Grapes Garlic Spinach Whole Grains Salmon Nuts BlueBerries Green or Black Tea

[auggiedoggy]

Great video! I like the music track on this video. What is it called and who performs it?

[mrpower328]

Don't forget Red Tea

[DeadHandsome25]

Love the music :D whats the name of the track, anyone please who knows? great vdieo btw :D

[jayenter]

I agree

[futoncat]

Tomatoes are nightshades. Give it a search if you aren't aware what those are. They are poisonous and especially bad for psoriatics.

[jquindlen19]

@futoncat I have psoriasis. Tomatoes may be especially bad for me but they are also especially delicious and I doubt I'll be able to stop eating them. In fact, I'd rather be diseased then give up pasta with tomato sauce.

[futoncat]

@jquindlen19 I have it too, but I'd rather give up food than live with the disease. And it appears to be working nicely :) Everyone has their own way, though, i suppose :p

[BuffySugarCloud]

@futoncat What's in tomatoes? I got interested :D I'm glad that I don't like them!

[happystink1]

If you enjoy water-melon,there's twice as much lycopene in it compared to tomatoes.

[natmanprime]

yes, I agree with slartibardfast (douglas adams reference), I suggest wholegrains like brown bread or brown rice, those are even better. Get a bread maker to avoid all the transfats, salt and sugar in commercial bread, there's tons of it in there.

Also, omega 3 can be obtained in huge quantities from flaxseed/linseed. It's a much more environmentally/ economically/ morally sound way to go than fish.

[slartibartfats]

basically sound food advice but be careful about cereals as many brands contain excess salt and added sugars

[ajhrockerboy6]

@slartibartfats yep. i stay away from cereals except the whole-grain ones with the good fats and low in suger and sodium. i eat a bowl of oatmeal everyday with soy milk and i add blueberries and cinnamon to give it flavor.-> i'm all about OPTIMAL HEALTH.
