• Fermented Vegetables
    1. Cultured vegetables are teeming with essential enzymes and good bacteria needed for optimal digestion and they are easier to digest than raw or cooked vegetables. When you eat raw cultured vegetables loaded with enzymes, you give your body an opportunity to make enzymes to rejuvenate itself instead of wasting a large portion of your enzymes digesting food.
  • Kale Collards and other Dark Greens
    1. Kale and collards contain fiber and antioxidants, and are among the best sources of vitamin A, which promotes eye and skin health and may help strengthen your immune system. A one-cup serving has almost as much vitamin C as an orange and as much calcium as a cup of milk.
  • Kefir
    1. Kefir is a fermented milk beverage that contains beneficial probiotics that gives your immune system a boost, among many other health benefits. One of the best and least expensive ways to get healthy bacteria through your diet is to obtain raw milk and convert it to kefir yourself. All you need is one-half packet of kefir starter granules in a quart of raw milk, which you leave at room temperature overnight.
  • Wild Alaskan Salmon
    1. Research suggests that eating oily fish once or twice a week may increase your lifespan. But do the benefits of eating fish really outweigh the risks of toxic contamination? In my view, I believe the benefits CAN outweigh the risks, provided you make really wise choices. There are few uncontaminated fish available these days so you need to know what to look for.

      Wild Alaskan salmon is really the ONLY fish I'll eat on a regular basis, and the only one I feel comfortable recommending as a good source of healthful fats.
  • Whey Protein Concentrate
    1. As you age, your body gradually loses its ability to produce critical amino acids -- the essential building blocks for the proteins you need for energy production, immune defenses and building muscle mass. Therefore, the need to supplement with these amino acids increases with age, and increases even more in times of increased physical stress, like after a workout, or when recovering from injury or illness. Whey protein, a by-product of milk and cheese, and particularly whey protein concentrate, is an ideal choice as it's a rich source of amino acids with exceptionally high bioavailability.
  • Organic, Free-Range Eggs
    1. While many people do eat eggs, many neglect to eat them raw, which is the healthiest way. Raw free-range or "pastured" eggs are an excellent source of high-quality nutrients that many people are deficient in, especially high-quality protein and fat.
  • Organic Coconut Oil
    1. The naturally occurring saturated fat found in coconut oil has some spectacular health benefits such as promoting heart health, weight loss, immune system health, thyroid function and more. Half of the fat content in coconut oil is lauric acid—a fat rarely found in nature—that could easily qualify as a "miracle" ingredient because of its unique health-promoting properties. Your body converts lauric acid into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoa properties.
  • Avocado
    1. Shunned by many due to their fat content, avocados are actually incredibly healthy for this very reason. Healthy raw fat is a nutrient many are severely deficient in. Plus, avocados also provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients, including vitamin E, B vitamins, folic acid, potassium and fiber.
  • Raw Grass-Fed Butter
    1. Butter made from raw organic grass-fed milk is an excellent source of healthful fats, including short- and medium-chain fats, which support immune function, boost metabolism and have anti-microbial properties, as well as the perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fats, and arachidonic acid, which is important for brain function, skin health and prostaglandin balance.
  • Pomegranate
    1. The primary source of this fruit's benefits is its antioxidant content, particularly ellagitannin compounds like punicalagins and punicalins, which account for about half of the pomegranate's antioxidant ability. The juice and pulp of pomegranates have previously been studied for their potential heart- and joint health benefits.
