By far the best thread I've seen on this site....
Veggies, fruits, herbs & spices are all attrubited to living a healthy life. You want to be able to live longer by what you eat. You need to understand what veggies and fruites..etc are natural and what's chemically put together to pass as fruits and veggies. No person on this planet should eat starch base foods whether's that potatoes...well the red potatoes are fine, but the white, russet potatoes, SWEET potatoes, CARROTS (sometimes I fall victim when I juice...I haven't in awhile though). I remember my grandfather saying the shatike mushroom is starchy too. Too much starchy foods can lead to diabetes. You must take in akaline forms of veggies and fruits.
A good list Dates of course, cantaloupe, apples, burro bananas (not that GMO bananas lol), mango, bell peppers, cucumbers, letture (no iceberg), kale (grows all year around), avacado (not for me though), my grandmother used to grow dandelion greens, mushrooms (no shytake), plum tomatoes (cherry okay), pears, peaches and plums...etc. This is just off the top. All of these foods are alkaline. Helps cleanse your system and helps balance your blood and its purity. Anybody that studied biology remembers the PH scale, water tends to stay around 5-7 on ph scale. Anything above 7 is akaline and anything below 7 is acidic. Foods that are acidic especially in some veggies and fruits put your health at risk. You are more perceptible to diseases with acidic base foods.
Also, my grandmother used to grow basil, bayleaf, cumin (
), sage, onion, garlic, thyme...etc Dill is great too.
KEEP YOUR FOOD ALKALINE...DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT
