Daily Food for Ultimate Health
February 29, 2008
One of the most effective things you can do to have better health is to post in your kitchen a list of things you will eat every day. At each meal, I review this checklist to make sure I am getting all the great foods I want in my diet.
I made this list from combining things from Dr. Phil and other health reading I have done. Your list may not be the same, but all of these things are good for everyone to have regularly. Tweak this list for yourself, but be sure to print it out and try to get every food in your diet every day.
- Vegetables – Not corn or potato
- Fiber – Pinto Beans, Black Beans or Lentils
- Green Leaf – Spinach or Callard Greens
- Healthy Nut Mix – Including almonds and walnuts – not peanuts.
- Asprin
- Fish (Salmon at least 3 times a week)
- Water
- Low Fat Milk
- Coffee
- Cooked Tomato
- Low Fat Yougurt
- Sunflower Seeds
- Red Wine – 2 times per week or more.
This is my personal list, but it works very well for me. With the kids, we take out coffee, red wine, asprin and fish (vegetarian) and add things like flax seed, soy sauce, berries and bananas.
They key is to identify what you want in your diet and post a healthy checklist that everyone mentally checks every day. This works like a charm and is a great way to support each other.
