Raw leafy greens contain only about 100 calories per pound and are packed with nutrients.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Micronutrient-poor foods, like pasta, sugar, and soda, don't just give you empty calories and make you fat; they also do damage to the body and cause disease.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Out of one pocket we pay billions of our tax dollars to support the production of expensive, disease-causing foods. Out of the other pocket, we pay medical bills that are too high because our overweight population consumes too much of these rich, disease-causing foods.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
I have appeared on 'The Dr. Oz show' and recognize that Dr. Oz does not hold the exact same viewpoints about all controversies in human nutrition that I do, but he has a huge base of knowledge and is open-minded and willing to re-consider a position based on emerging evidence on multiple scientific and health issues.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The vast preponderance of evidence in modern epidemiology shows that those who eat more whole plant foods and fewer animal products and processed foods have lower rates of chronic disease and longer lifespans.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The diet, to be healthy, has to be mostly fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The key to excellent health and longevity is to eat a high ratio of micronutrients to macronutrients.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Without micronutrients to remove waste, cells become congested, DNA gets broken, and the body doesn't have the ability to repair itself. Eventually, you get sick.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Meeting the body's micronutrient needs helps to suppress food cravings, and high-nutrient foods do not produce dangerous, addictive craving.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Eating a high-nutrient diet actually makes you more satisfied with less food, and actually gives the ability to enjoy food more without overeating.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Chemicals are not currently tested for their endocrine disruption potential before they are approved for use and enter our environment, and there are endocrine disruptors in a vast array of products we come into contact with every day, including organochlorine pesticides, plastics, fuels, and other industrial chemicals.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Sodium is an important mineral that is essential for proper functioning of the human body - however, the American diet contains dangerously high amounts of sodium, almost 80 percent of which comes from processed and restaurant foods.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Onions, along with leeks, garlic, shallots and scallions, make up the allium family of vegetables, which can have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular and immune systems, as well as possible anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effects.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
We can reduce these cancer rates - breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer - by 90 percent or more by people adopting what I call a nutritrarian diet.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Seeds and nuts are indispensable for cardiovascular health. The protective properties of nuts against coronary heart disease were first recognized in the early 1990s, and a strong body of literature has followed, confirming these original findings.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
You cannot escape from the biological law of cause and effect - food choices are the most significant cause of disease and premature death.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Excess dietary salt is most notorious for increasing blood pressure. Americans have a 90 percent lifetime probability of developing high blood pressure - so even if your blood pressure is normal now, if you continue to eat the typical American diet, you will be at risk.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The goal of my diet-style is eating for optimal health and longevity. What greater benefit could there be than living healthfully and actively into old age with no dependence on medications and almost no risk of heart disease, diabetes or dementia?
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The problem with the standard American diet, a primary cause of our current obesity epidemic, is the fact that the majority of foods consumed are high in calories and low in micronutrients.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Cutting back on calories is not the answer to successful weight loss and successful health... you have to increase the quality of what you eat, not just reduce the quantity.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Most weight loss diets center around portion control, which is just trying to eat smaller amounts of the same addictive foods. This approach inevitably fails.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The human body is a miraculous self-healing machine, but those self-repair systems require a nutrient-dense diet.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Blueberries, strawberries and blackberries are true super foods. Naturally sweet and juicy, berries are low in sugar and high in nutrients - they are among the best foods you can eat.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The American diet causes disease. It is composed of 25 percent animal products and 62 percent processed foods and only 5 percent of calories from fruits and vegetables.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
Three of the most beneficial, longevity promoting anti-cancer foods are green vegetables, beans, and onions.
Quote by -Joel Fuhrman
The right raw materials can... double or triple the protective power of the immune system.
