Thanks for the info about plums and varicose veins. I had read the same advice in the June 22, '09 issue of Woman's World and am currently researching it. I think I'll buy some plums today and give it a try.

thanks for the blog! Im always looking for new ways to eat a lil more healthier , and i sure learned a couple new things i didnt know ill be sure to try some of this stuff out thanks agin ! :) keep up the good work !

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.

Dianne - thanks for the great info! Some of it was new to me and some just confirmed things I had heard, so I appreciate it. Maybe you can follow up with an article about some foods that improve attitude and decrease negativity - perhaps there will be something to be learned for those who already know everything.

Alera, as you have a stomach ache eating apple and not mentioned other fruits which are also treated with pesticides you may simply allergic to apple which is very rare. i do suffer from it.

I adore the photos you used in this post - captures the necessary nutrients found in these fruits and veggies! I love watermelon, broccoli, plums, corn, apples, cinnamon, and oregano. beef? eh. here and there but boy oh boy I have to start appreciating avocado. It looks better than it tastes :/ nice to have a list of what's most effective though :)

Dear Angie, I don't know about you, but I found plenty of new fun facts about food in this post! For instance, I had no idea that plums could make varicose veins less noticible, or that watermelon is a natural energizer... Thank you for the great post, Dianna!
