Personaly, I don't like olives.
I can only eat very small amounts of avocado. 1/4 avocado gave me two hours of chest pain a few years ago. So take 1/4 avocado, maybe quarter that, and slice thin the 1/16 avocado; that much in a sandwich I tolerate, though I haven't in a few years.
I can eat Pistachios freely every day, but no other nuts on a regular basis in any amount.
I have been doing too many other internet things, interfering with my 6 times a week exercise program. Got to get back to that. But still on my very tight diet.
I go for a full body scan Wednesday, learn what 6 years of diet and exercise have done for my circulatory system.

Figures this might be a popular topic. I've had non-ED lack of libido due to some extreme "squabbles" with my spouse, as well as issues to end my marriage the last six months. Just staying away from her, not talking since everything thing seemed to become an argument.
But recent interest from another female (no contact) assures me all still works well.
I stick to my very low fat diet. The daily exercise is not quite as easy, but managing 4-5 days a week. I big factor for me in a near vegan diet (chickens still support me), is apparent improved immune response. I've also stopped hairloss in its tracks, and have less body odor after and during exercise.
Now if I could just get rid of the flatulence. At least even that is more annoying and amusing, than room clearing.

Notice they picked a vegetable. On the anti-oxidant spectrum the order is
1) Herbs and spices
2) Fruit
3) Veggies
And among each of these, there is a 10 to 20 fold spread of contributing anti-oxidants quantities.
The statement about peanuts and broccolli may be comparable to saying you can tolerate immense pain for a nanosecond. a nanosecond is so brief, you would not register it at all. Like the anti-oxidants in peanuts.View Thread

All the yellow stuff is about 90% saturated fat.View Thread

I eat a small amount of meat, and mostly fresh besides that. My immune system ? How's overcoming viral meningitis in 2 days and back to work in 5, when normal recovery is 7 and 30. And I prayed a lot when not hallucinating with the meningitis. This at age 57 with severe heart disease, but a very healthy diet, regular exercise, and very god fitness. And almost no mushrooms.

EG and I primarily have fresh veggies. Both of us seem to have very strong immune systems, and are well-recovered from cardiovascular disease.
If our bodies did not get much from raw foods, we'd be in big trouble, not be enjoying such good health as we are.
Both on these diets a good five years.

Correction. Parsely flakes are about 70,000 AO units in 3 ounces. Oregano was at about 200,000, cinnamon at 300,000.View Thread


3 ounces of parsely flaks has about 270,000 anti-oxidant units, so even a sprinkle is more than you would get from a couple servings of many vegetables.View Thread
