How It Works

A Nutrition Powerhouse

Adequate legume consumption appears to increase lifespan, slow your resting heart rate (comparably to exercise's effect), control blood sugar levels, control diabetes, prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol enough to get people off cholesterol lowering drugs.

96% of Americans don't eat the minimum recommended amount.

The Antioxidant King

Our meal plans give you 1 serving per day

Berries are extremely high in antioxidants, a class of compounds that can neutralize DNA damaging (and thus cancer inducing) free radicals. In order to stay out of oxidative debt, we need to consume more antioxidants than we use.

A single serving of blueberries has been shown to increase the antioxidant capacity of the bloodstream enough to improve protection against DNA damage. Berries may reduce cholesterol, slow brain aging, improve cognitive performance, improve mood, boost natural killer cell counts (which attack cancer), and reduce muscle soreness.

Ensuring you get a variety of fruit phytonutrients

Poor diet is the number one risk factor for American health, with smoking coming in second place. The worst aspect of our diet? Not enough fruit.

Lemons, persimmons, and apples can boost DNA repair (and thus help prevent cancer). Peaches, bananas, grape fruits, apples, and lemons appear to suppresss cancer cell growth. Despite their relatively high sugar content, it appears you can't each too much fruit. A variety of fruits may be beneficial as we have specific receptors for specific fruits and vegetables.

The Sulforaphane King

Our meal plans give you 1 serving per day

Sulforaphane is an antioxidant compound that is almost exclusive to cruciferious vegetables. It is the most potent known inducer of our detoxification enzymes, helping to protect against air and industrial pollutants. This may be particulary important if you happen to live near a busy road.

Cruciferious vegetables also appear to protect against DNA damage, increase cancer survival rates, increase antibody production, and increase intestinal immune function.

The Healthiest Vegetable

Our meal plans give you 2 servings per day

Greens appear to prevent alzheimers, prevent cancer by intercepting carcinogens, cut the risk of having a heart attack, prevent wrinkles, slow our metabolism (potentially increasing lifespan), improve athetlic performance and recovery, and even make you more attractive.

They are the top source of eye protective nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin that improve vision & protect against degenerative eye diseases.

Ensuring you get a variety of vegetable phytonutrients

Our meal plans give you 2 servings per day

A variety of vegetables may be beneficial as we have specific receptors for specific vegetables.

Different types have different beneficial phytonutrients and effects on the body. Garlic appears to be the #1 anti-cancer vegetable (although many others help as well), beets and other nitrate rich vegetables seems to boost brain function, and tomatoes are high in lycopene which prevents cancer.

The Lignan King

Our meal plans give you 1 serving a day

Flax seeds are an exceptional source of cancer preventing and fighting lignans, containing around 100 times more than others foods. They also appear to reduce blood presure comparably to leading medications (without the side effects).

The Life Extender

Our meal plans give you 1 serving per day

The largest dietary risk factor for Americans after not eating enough fruit? Not eating enough nuts and seeds.

Eating nuts may make you live 2 years longer, improve artery function, and cut the risk of death from inflammatory disease by half.

An Extremely Potent Spice

Our meal plans give you 1 serving per day

Turmeric has been demonstrated to have a wide array of benefits including anti-cancer effects (carcingogen-blocking, anti-proliferative, antioxidant), anti-inflammatory effects, possible alzheimer prevention & treatment, as well as being a rheumatoid and osteoarthritis treatment.

Goods for the Gut

Our meal plans give you 3 servings per day

Most Americans get less than half the recommended minimum intake of fiber, and whole grains are a good source. Western countries could be considered almost universally constipated, largely due to lack of fiber intake.

Besides packing a fiber punch, whole grains also increase gut bacteria diversity and reduce systemic inflammation, and reduce blood pressure comparably to drugs.
