Dr. Joel Fuhrman Talks About the Importance of a High-Nutrient Diet

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In this video Dr.Joel Fuhrman talks about the value of healthy fats in the diet. This information will be very interesting for anyone who has had less than optimal results with low-fat diets, or anyone with a health condition such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity that are directly related to what we eat.

Dr.Furhman is someone who I greatly respect for his presentations of information based on thorough scientific research. Although he doesn’t advocate a 100% raw diet he highlights the importance of eating a very high intake of vegetables and fruits with smaller amounts of nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes.

One of the most relevant points he makes is how refined oils – even those commonly regarded as heart-healthy such as olive oil – are actually not the best choice. It is far better to select whole food sources of fats such as avocados, flaxseeds, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, almonds, and coconut.

The most important factor determining whether a food is healthy for us is the ratio of micronutrients to calories in a food. Oils, sugar, refined carbohydrates, and animal products contribute very few nutrients and not surprisingly are the main culprits contributing to obesity.

Dr.Fuhrman is the author of Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer, and Super Immunity: The Essential Nutrition Guide for Boosting Your Body’s Defenses to Live Longer, Stronger, and Disease Free.
