Both men I knew bought big time into the whole foods thing. And it can’t hurt. It as much raw food as you can. Eat organic. Eat whole foods and is little processed food as possible. In fact remove it. Drink in moderation. Don’t smoke. Low sugar. Low salt. My wife has me on this very same agenda. I follow it. I feel better. The 2 dead friends I have were both doing the same. Living moderate lives. No drugs. No smoking. Eating whole foods and raw foods.
Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you. Sometimes People get sick, regardless of following healthy lifestyle suggestions.
Trust your doctor or don’t. I do and will continue to do so.
I don’t worry about you following doctors advise as your wife is taking care of you! What I have read from this thread doesn’t encourage anyone to not follow doctor orders, they encourage intelligent nutrition. Never heard anyone suggest people would live forever either.
Raw food and organic food are popular fads, not scientifically healthy eating. Repeated studies have shown no benefits from organic food, and raw food isn’t always better. It depends on the food, but some food requires cooking to make the nutrients available.
