“Every living cell in your body is made from the food you eat. If you consistently eat junk food then you’ll have a junk body.” ~ Jeanette Jenkins

What is Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian Diet?

Dr. Fuhrman coined the word, Nutritarian to describe his recommended diet which concentrates on eating the most micronutrient rich foods.

What is Dr. Fuhrman’s Nutritarian Diet? 

Simply put, a Nutritarian diet is a way of eating which bases food choices on maximizing the micronutrients per calorie. A Nutritarian diet is designed with food that has powerful disease-protecting and therapeutic effects and delivers a broad array of micronutrients via a wide spectrum of food choices. It is not sufficient to merely avoid fats, consume foods with a low glycemic index, lower the intake of animal products, or eat a diet of mostly raw foods. A truly healthful Nutritarian diet must be micronutrient rich and the micronutrient richness must be adjusted to meet individual needs. The foods with the highest micronutrient per calorie scores are green vegetables, colorful vegetables, and fresh fruits. For optimal health and to combat disease, it is necessary to consume enough of these foods that deliver the highest concentration of nutrients.

A Nutritarian diet is guided by nutritional quality.

A Lesson in Nutrition by Dr McDougall

A Lesson in Nutrition

Nutrients are substances that our bodies need for their maintenance, repair, and growth. Our foods contain the following basic nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water.

The Four Macronutrients

Carbohydrates are the body’s most efficient way to get everything it needs. Produced by plants through photosynthesis, carbohydrates are made from compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen called sugars or saccharides. Molecules of these simple sugars attach together to make long branching chains called complex carbohydrates. These large carbohydrate molecules are commonly referred to as starch.

When eaten, enzymes disassemble these chains back into the simple sugars. These simple sugars then pass easily through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream for distribution to all the cells in your body. Metabolic processes change these simple sugars into energy.

TWO EASY WAYS TO GET RID OF BACK PAIN.

TWO EASY WAYS TO GET RID OF YOUR BACK PAIN

The following exercises may help you get rid of nagging back pain. These exercises should be slowly increased over time.

Level 4 - hold for 2 minutes
Level 5 - hold for 2 minute and 30 seconds

Vegan Fast Food Meals

It's easy to find delicious vegan options at most fast food restaurants.

Fast food was once difficult for vegans to find and enjoy, but today it’s easy to find vegan options at almost all fast food restaurants. While this is not a food category you’re well-advised to eat much of, when you’re in a crunch or on the road, you can find these vegan meals just about anywhere. Here are six of your best bets, when it comes to eating vegan in fast food establishments.

• Chipotle: Coming in at #1 on our list, Chipotle offers giant burritos, tacos, rice bowls, and salads packed with grains, greens, veggies, and guacamole—all for just $7. Plus, they’ve added tofu sofritas to their menu at many locations! In fact, the only non-vegan items on Chipotle’s menu are meat, cheese, and sour cream. Their guacamole is always vegan and typically sensational.

• Taco Bell: You never would have guessed it, but Taco Bell is incredibly vegan friendly. All of their beans, rice, guacamole, and salsas are vegan—you simply need to avoid the meat, cheese, and sour cream. You can always substitute beans instead of meat, add potatoes, and when you order a burrito “Fresco Style,” they’ll use pico de gallo tomatoes in instead of cheese. My favorite order is a Crunchwrap Supreme® with beans instead of meat, hold the cheese and sour cream, and add potatoes. As complicated as this seems, they have never once messed up my order!

• Subway: Order the Veggie Delight on Italian white bread, and have them hold the cheese and mayo. Even when loaded up with veggies and avocado, this is a pretty boring sandwich, and the fact that it’s almost as expensive as their meat-based sandwiches is totally unfair. But with more than 40,000 locations worldwide, you can always turn to subway when there are no other options. This is especially true on road trips, because it seems like there’s a Subway on the Interstate every few exits.

• Pizza Hut: Ask for a pizza made on their thin ‘n’ crispy crust with no cheese. Top it with their all-natural pizza sauce and toppings like banana peppers, black olives, mushrooms and onions. You can see all of Pizza Hut’s ingredients here.

• Starbucks: Now in more than 50 countries, you’ll never be far from a Starbucks soy latte or dairy-free frappuccino. You can also order their oatmeal topped with brown sugar and a nut and fruit medley or a plain bagel for breakfast. A few years ago Starbucks also introduced some packaged vegan lunch items, although their availability is far from consistent.

• Denny’s: Diner food is notoriously unfriendly towards vegans, but Denny’s actually has some solid vegan options. Their vegan menu items include oatmeal, english muffins, plain toasted bagels, grits, applesauce, fresh fruit, vegetable plates, seasoned french fries, baked potatoes, garden salads (choose the light Italian or oil-and-vinegar dressings), and veggie sandwiches. Be sure to emphasize to your waiter that you cannot have dairy and to hold the butter on everything, because butter seems to make it’s way onto most of their food otherwise.

JUICE RECIPE: CABBAGE CRAZY

CABBAGE CRAZY

• 1/4 head of cabbage
• handful parsley
• 3 romaine leaves 
• 1 cucumber
• 1 lemon
• 1 green apple

Health benefits of cabbage

• Fresh, dark green-leafy cabbage is incredibly nutritious; but very low in fat and calories. 100 g of leaves provide just 25 calories.
• The vegetable is a storehouse of phyto-chemicals like thiocyanates, indole-3-carbinol, lutein, zea-xanthin, sulforaphane, and isothiocyanates. These compounds are powerful antioxidants and known to help protect against breast, colon, and prostate cancers and help reduce LDL or "bad cholesterol" levels in the blood.
• Fresh cabbage is an excellent source of natural antioxidant, vitamin C. Provides 36.6 mg or about 61% of RDA per 100 g. Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.
• Total antioxidant strength measured in terms of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC value) is 508 µmol TE/100 g. Red cabbages contain more antioxidant value, 2252 µmol TE/100 g.
• It is also rich in essential vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) and thiamin (vitamin B-1). These vitamins are essential in the sense that our body requires them from external sources to replenish.
• It also contains a adequate amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, iron, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase.Iron is required for the red blood cell formation.
• Cabbage is a very good source of vitamin K, provides about 63% of RDA levels. Vitamin-K has the potential role in bone metabolism by promoting osteotrophic activity in them. So enough vitamin K in the diet gives you healthy bones. In addition, vitamin-K also has established role in curing Alzheimer's disease patients by limiting neuronal damage inside their brain.
