A Truly Balanced Diet

I have been accused of not eating a "balanced diet," of being extreme in my eating habits.

My critics come down with severe colds and flus several times a year. I don't.

I am extremely meticulous about what I put in my mouth because I want extremely good health. A simple case of reaping what I sow.

I know there is a lot of confusing information out there about nutrition and health foods.

Over the years, I have done some serious research, trying to discover what good nutrition looks like. My main discovery has been that no one diet works for every single person. However, there are principles everyone must follow in order to achieve optimum health. These principles are revealed in this article.

What about the food pyramid? Does that promote a truly life-giving diet? The answer may surprise you.

Once you develop an understanding of your own nutritional needs, you want to be sure that any children you have get the best start on the healthiest foods possible. Read here to discover why breastmilk wins the baby nutrition contest, hands down.

Here are some tips on how to provide the older baby with the freshest, most nutritious food available (after breastmilk!).

Juicing is all the rage in some circles. Certainly, it has great health benefits. But should you bother juicing cow food? Find out why wheatgrass juice may not be as valuable as its fanatics claim.

However, if you've got to choose between wheatgrass juice and fast food for health benefits, wheatgrass juice will win hands down. This book review reveals the shocking truth about the grave threats fast foods have against your health.

In the process of my research, I read many books about diets and nutrition. Some are full of gems, while others required a lot of digging before I could uncover any nuggets. And sometimes that nugget turned out to be Fool's Gold.

Two e-sources brimming over with nutritional treasure are The Healthy Gourmet series and The 12 Hour Cure for Yeast Infection (the second one includes a great bonus book about health and eating entitled Lessons from Miracle Doctors).

Enjoy your new, delicious balanced diet!
