What I Eat and Why

I wrote recently about the overall benefits of a good diet. I’d like to focus now on specific foods. I try to eat/drink the following foods almost every day: tea (white, green, oolong, each with a little bit of orange juice), red wine (or once in a while, beer), oatmeal (with raisins), apple, dark chocolate, yogurt, a variety of fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish (especially salmon).

I also try to eat at least a few times a week: soy, broccoli, olive oil, and tomato sauce.

For a discussion of the recent research about each of these item, click on the links below:
