A 102-year-old doctor says good eating comes down to three things: plenty of water, whole foods, and what your body tells you it needs. He stresses nutrition is personal, so experiment and listen to yourself. Cake and chocolate are fine in moderation.
Everybody should eat this, that, or the other thing, I think is maybe stretching it a little bit. But I like to eat what I like to eat. I like cake sometimes. I like chocolate. It makes me happy. I think that there are certain principles that are really basic to inner health of our body, and they're available to us. If you're not looking for them, if all you want is a really good hamburger every day, well, go for it. But it's going to be a little bit tough on your body. Nutrition has been studied and restudied and studied again, but only if we take in the information that's there and make it personal. I like to say a good balanced diet is plenty of water, plenty of live foods, and foods that make you really know that this is good for me. But pay attention to that, because if you find that there's something that works for you, well, maybe it won't work for your brother.
