3 Things I've Recently Added to my Diet for Better Health

I recently read one of Dr. Fuhrman's many books called Eat To Live. I absolutely loved this book. He encourages his readers that eating healthy doesn't have to be hard (no counting calories!) and he stresses the importance of good health and it's effects on your body in the present as well as down the road.
 
In one section of the book, Dr. Fuhrman talks about the importance of eating GBOMBS or 

GREENS
BEANS
ONIONS      
MUSHROOMS
BERRIES &
SEEDS

According to Dr. Furhman these are "the most nutrient-dense, health-promoting foods on the planet...[and] should [be] eaten every day."

I follow a plant based diet so my diet revolves  mainly around these foods. However, after reading Eat to Live, the 3 foods I recently have added to my diet for better health are: 
Raw Onions, Mushrooms & Tomato Paste 
 I typically throw one or all of these things into my salads or into a bean dish


 According to Dr. Fuhrman, "these foods are extremely effective at preventing chronic disease and promoting health and longevity."  

For more information on why these are healthy check out these 2 posts on Dr. Fuhrman's website: 

Also, if you get a chance read Eat to Live ! I love, love loved it :)
