Many "experts" would give advice on eating healthy foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. They also single out special high nutrients foods such as oats.
However, they often ignore to tell you that a really healthy food can be made really unhealthy! The most common enemy is cooking. High temporature breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugar (or starchy), and kills all food enzymes and many nutrients. So you'd think oats, or beans, or sweet potatoes, or whole grains are good stuff. But when you cook it into starchy form, it lost most of the value! Similarly, raw vegetable is very nutritious. But through cooking, it becomes starchy and loses a lot of nutrients, and all its enzymes.
Therefore, for YBMers, we care about not only what are good foods, but also about how the foods are prepared and eaten.
For more information, go to YBM Diet, and listen to Dr. Milam's new video on the problem of eating prepared and processed foods.

Good advice!
Healthy foods sounds more like a marketing tactic to me now!
Salad with minimum seasoning is probably a good option for a healthy diet, I think.
