By Janice Buckler I n some cultures, people thrive on vegetarian or near-vegetarian diets. These people are extremely healthy, with little or no degenerative disease. This led many enthusiasts to proclaim that the only healthy diet is a vegetarian one; however, there are other cultures, equally disease-free, who live almost entirely on animal foods. The common thread to both dietary extremes is what they leave out! Both groups get plenty of exercise and eat only natural foods, i.e., no refined sugar/flour, soft drinks, artificial fats/colorings/flavorings, or preservatives. If we were to exercise heavily and skip the processed foods, we would probably be as healthy as they are, no matter what else we ate. The following guidelines provide a plan for a healthy, long-term diet:
