Anyone who dials a phone while driving is flirting with death. And anyone who texts while driving is insane.

What you eat matters. It influences the quality of your life.

I make a big salad bowl just for myself, double or triple the size of a normal salad.

Your future health can be predicted by the nutrient density of your diet.

A high nutrient density diet was associated with more feelings of hunger in the mouth and throat and less in the head and stomach.

A high nutrient diet, if widely adopted, could bring millions of people in touch with true hunger, and stop the proliferation of obesity and preventable chronic disease.

Simply restricting portions of the same disease-causing foods does not resolve the symptoms of toxic hunger.

What are the physical sensations you associate with hunger? For most people, these sensations include stomach grumbling, headaches, light-headedness, irritability, fatigue and inability to focus.

The most significant and alarming consequence of early maturation is an increased risk for breast cancer in adulthood.

Instead of trying to increase your metabolism with the goal of losing weight, try to slow your metabolism with a low-calorie, high-nutrient diet for a longer, healthier life.

Cancer initiates due to a wide variety of causes, some of which are outside of our control or already occurred during our childhood.

When you eat healthfully, your body gravitates relatively rapidly toward a better weight.

To provide optimal levels of protective micronutrients, a diet must be vegetable-based, not grain-based.

The modern diet is grossly deficient in hundreds of important plant-derived immunity-building compounds which makes us highly vulnerable to viruses, infections and disease.

Americans are grossly deficient in basic micronutrients and especially those phytochemicals that arm our immune system to fight cancer.

Scores of studies support the power of certain natural foods to prevent cancer.

Don't forget: cruciferous vegetables must be chopped, crushed, or chewed well for maximum benefit!

Combine anti-cancer foods to maximize protection against all cancers: A number of plant foods are associated with lower risk of cancers, and substances contained in these foods display anti-cancer or immune-boosting properties.

I am a physician specializing in nutritional interventions for chronic disease and a strong advocate of superior nutrition as the first line of attack to prevent and treat most chronic diseases.

We need radical dietary improvement, and the earlier in life that change is made, the better. Just following a vegan diet or eating a few more vegetables is not enough.
