It is hardly breaking news that fruits and vegetables are good for you. But Dr. Fuhrman is not just recommending that you eat more of them. To achieve maximum immunity and longevity, he suggests you make fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds, and nuts your primary diet. Other foods—such as whole grains, eggs, meat, fish, and fat-free dairy—should make up less than 20 percent of your total intake.

Dr. Fuhrman isn’t just reviewing the latest studies. His experience treating over 10,000 patients using micronutrient-rich diets has demonstrated extraordinary therapeutic results over a wide range of serious health conditions. In Super Immunity, he writes:

Adding mushrooms to the diet lowers cancer rates, adding onions to the diet lowers cancer rates, adding greens to the diet lowers cancer rates, and adding blackberries to the diet lowers cancer rates. However, my argument and recommendations are for people not just to eat these foods, but to eat these foods in significant amounts and simultaneously.

He says each day you should have:

At least one large salad.

At least a half-cup serving of beans (perhaps in a soup, salad, or other dish).

At least three fresh fruits, especially berries, pomegranate seeds, cherries, plums, and oranges.

At least one ounce of raw nuts and seeds.

At least one large (double-size) serving of green vegetables, raw or steamed.
