Well....yeah. But there are diets/genetics that have been fine-tuned over time. The Japanese...probably any island people...have a fiet heavy in fish. The Mediterranean diet is kind of distinct. The North American diet war varied, but included corn, which the Euros imported. Are uou following a paleo diet? Hard to argue with whole foods...nuts, seeds, grains. Some people ought not eat nightshades...potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers....
I eat mostly what grows on trees. I love veggies such as egg plant, zucchini, Okra, squash. Today I ate okra dish at an India buffet restaurant in Jacksonville today and it was just amazing. I am always stocked up on walnuts, almonds, mixed nuts, dried apricots, prunes, Medjool dates, dried mango, and raisins. My meals are vegetable stew with carrots, zucchini, sprouts and red potatoes unpeeled, with a bit of chicken and bit of Italian sausage for flavor. I make a big pot enough for a week and freeze it in small glass containers. I will eat it with either basmati rice or home made naan. For dessert i prefer whole milk vanilla yogurt from Aldi. Only other protein food in my diet is an egg every other day. I stay away from red meat as much as possible but occasionally I will go to Longhorn Steak House and indulge on ribs. May be 4 times a year. I avoid all colas. Hot water with lemonade is a great to start out the day. In the afternoons, I like a cup of coffee with dried fruit & nuts. When visiting restaurants I will order either grilled salmon or shrimp. I am doing really well with this diet, and hope I will have enough energy to keep going into my late-90’s. I want to emphasize how important daily walking is to stay healthy. I am blessed with beaches many miles long in my town, and that is my favorite place to walk while listening to music with earbuds. My sight and hearing are still good, which I am thankful for.
