RECOMMENDATIONS Eat more fruits and
vegetables, fresh and raw or cooked in microwave. Eat some garlic and
onion every day, fresh or cooked but not powders. Eat more beans. Eat
more yogurt that contains live cultures. Do not heat it. Eat seafood at
least twice a week or more. Eat less fat. Each foods rich in
antioxidants. Broccoli is the superstar, as well as spirulina. Eat high
