I think most people who have been on this list a while include some

superfoods in their diet.

Be sure and get a high vitamin cod liver oil that has it's natural

vitamins, like Blue Ice from Green Pastures or Dr Ron.

I doubt that very many, if any, on this list are strict adherents to

eating totally style and there are many variations

anyway.

I think the biggest and easiest thing to do is to minimize or

eliminate factory processed and factory farmed foods. Make your meals

from produce that is minimally processed, preferably organic, and from

wild and/or fully pastured animal foods. If you use dairy, switch to

raw dairy. Next would be eliminating intake of refined sugar and

minimizing sweet foods in general. If you are overweight, also

minimize starchy foods.

Don't use fats and oils that are high in omega-6 fats - which is most

of the more common ones nowadays. That includes most salad dressings,

mayonnaise, and many sauces, as well as most vegetable and nut oils.

An important exception for vegetable oils is coconut oil, which is

good to use in place of the bad oils. Eliminate any foods that might

have artificial trans-fats (hydrogenated vegetable oils), which

includes many processed/packaged foods and most fried foods and many

desserts (including those from restaurants).

But most of all - do what is easiest first
