    Only problem here for me is al the insecticides they put on apples and most fruit. It all gives me a stomach ache. But I've learned a lot about healthy foods through the " Eat Right 4 Your Type" book. It says that since my blood type is O, beef is good for me. But Beef is not good for everyone. It says that blood type A has problems digesting it because they are mostly supposed to eat fish. So, if you're an A, maybe avoid red meat?

    Its true that all the foods listing in this article is really good for health but do you think finding all these foods and then eating all these is practical now a days. Now a days our lives are so fast and hectic that we don't have time and energy to spend finding and then preparing all these stuff to eat. If you have time then you must go for such foods but if you are busy and have a hectic schedule then there is a food supplement which is a miracle food named 'Leanspa' which is very beneficial for getting a good health and toned and slim body without having hard workout and without always pondering on such a natural raw foods because this Leanspa is made from natural herbs which is absolutely 100% harmless by the test result of different Labs in USA.

    Oh please, what is there not to know about food in this food obsessed society? Can't you people write a decent article? To assume that people 'know' nothing is pretentious.

    Olga it cannot possibly reverse spider veins. In theory it is supposed to strengthen the veins so they don't break/you don't get them in the first place. Eating plums won't have a noticable effect anyway in regards to specific health problems, neither will most of it, like eating corn for good hair. It's dubious at the least. Minimal at the very most. But it was a fun post, i'm not complaining , just explaining. .... Yeah, eat your fruit and veg, it all adds up in the end.
