Perhaps it is a testament to the power of modern marketing savvy that an obese man with heart disease and high blood pressure became one of the richest snake oil salesmen ever to live, selling a diet that promises to help you lose weight, to keep your heart healthy and to normalize your blood pressure.
T. Colin CampbellFirst, nutrition is the master key to human health. Second, what most of us think of as proper nutrition--isn't.
T. Colin CampbellThe ideal human diet looks like this: Consume plant-based foods in forms as close to their natural state as possible (โwholeโ foods). Eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, raw nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, and whole grains. Avoid heavily processed foods and animal products. Stay away from added salt, oil, and sugar. Aim to get 80 percent of your calories from carbohydrates, 10 percent from fat, and 10 percent from protein.
