Your energy and productivity can soar. There are life-long benefits as well since you'll be reducing your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and obesity. But as with any plan, don't try to make radical changes. You need about 40 different nutrients to stay healthy. These nutrients are in the foods you normally eat.
Most foods contain more than one nutrient.
Milk, for example, provides proteins,fat, sugars, riboflavin and other B-vitamins, vitamin A, calcium and phosphorus. But no single food item supplies all essential nutrients. So you should eat a variety of foods to ensure an adequate diet.
