Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about how to Eat for Health and Disease Proof Your 
Child from Dr Joel Fuhrman. Dr Fitness has a new health expert crush and it is with Dr Fuhrman who had some really good information to share today. Dr Fuhrman believes in eating more quality calories from foods that are high in micronutrients rather than processed foods.
He says that dietary ignorance is the cause of so much needless suffering. He explains what your kid should not be eating (hint: Happy Meals and Lunchables are on the list) and what they should be eating more of. The good doctor said that what we eat as children and teens is a major cause of what makes us ill as adults. Parents should create an environment of health that gets rid of all processed foods and features reall foods like nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables that are filled with micronutrients. If families would eat more vegetables soups, robust salads and fruits everyone would weigh less and live longer healthier lives.
He believes that most people are literally starved of micronutirients and that is why we suffer from food addictions and toxic hunger which ultimately leads to diseases like cancer.
He also explained the misconception about eating more protein. People eat way too much protein from animals and not enough from other sources. He feels we really have to get back to basics and prepare healthy foods/meals a couple of times a week then eat them throughout the week. His books explain in plain English exactly what to do and how to do it.
His books Eat for Health and Disease Proof Your Child are highly recommended. To learn more about Dr Fuhrman, his books and his great community please go to his website www.DrFuhrman.com.

So she began a quest for what really is healthy. She did tons and tons of research and through her own research and experimentation she developed her own program.
