Eat to Live

Simple plans have changed the lives of many Joel Fuhrman followers, he encourages us to eat the right foods and that will help you health problems and you will automatically lose weight and live longer.

Dr. Joel Fuhrman believes that healing through food is the key to a healthy lifestyle. His alternate food pyramid starts with foods high in micro-nutrients as the base. These foods not only contain vitamins and minerals that are essential to helping the body repair itself, they also have immune-boosting phytochemicals.

 Until the time comes that everybody can afford healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, beans/legumes for daily consumption, we should make supplements and vitamins as part of our eating regimen. Also for those people with really busy schedules where they can only resort to fast-food restaurants.

Dr. OZ and all his shows and topics are always revolutionary in what mainstream health and nutrition industry want us to embrace.

Sunny Bean Burger

Ingredients
Serves 2

1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
2 cups cooked or canned red or pink beans, no-salt-added or low-sodium, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup minced onion
2 tbsp low sodium ketchup
1 tbsp wheat germ or old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 tsp chili powder

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with a little olive oil on a paper towel.

Chop the sunflower seeds in a food processor or with a hand chopper. Mash the beans in the food processor or with a potato masher and mix with the sunflower seeds. Mix in the remaining ingredients and form into two patties.

Place the patties on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, until you can pick up each patty and compress it firmly in your hands to re-form the burger. Return the patties to the baking sheet, bottom side up, and bake for another 10 minutes.

If desired, these may be done on a grill. Serve on small whole grain pitas or buns with lettuce, tomato and chopped red onion or on a bed of lettuce with tomato and chopped red onion.
