Answer
Hello Tim!

  Thank you for your nutrition question. In order to stay healthy I would recommend a more plant based diet which includes fresh fruits( ie.peaches, cherries, watermelon, apples) and vegetables(ie. broccoli, celery, cauliflower). I also recommend whole grains such as oatmeal and bran cereals as well as nuts and beans.  You can also check out www.mypyramid.gov where you can create a healthy eating plan by entering your age, gender, and activity level. This is a very helpful tool!
   I also encourage you to check out my book "Ask the Nutritionists: Answers to Your Nutrition Questions" availabe at www.authorhouse.com, online, or at your favorite bookstore.
