Yes, the fats in nuts and avocados are good for you, they are good for you heart and skin and hair.  Fat that comes from animals is bad, like fatty meat or lard.  Trans fat is bad, it comes from companies making a liquid fat into a solid by manipulating it.

(m)\n\nOatmeal's Magical Benefits include:\n\nIt Lowers cholesterol: Oatmeal contains soluble fiber which binds to bile (bile helps us to absorb fat and cholesterol from our diet). Less bile, less fat and cholesterol absorbed! Then the liver makes bile from our stored cholesterol to compensate for the lowered absorbed amount, lowering our cholesterol levels further. Lower levels of total cholesterol are associated with lower rates of heart disease. Of course if we eat too much fat, let's say on one of those high protein diets, eating our magical food won't make magic. \n\nCancer Fighting Properties: Grains contain a phytochemical called "phytic acid". This phyto binds to certain minerals thought to cause free radical production especially in our colon and it eliminates them instead. \n\nWeight Control: Low in fat, and a "stick to your ribs food", oatmeal, a complex carbohydrate has a low glycemic index.This means it is turned into a simple sugar very slowly. What does this do? It raises our blood sugar slowly by staying in the stomach longer, which decreases our hunger and cravings created by those other simple carbohydrate foods (we all know which foods I'm referring to). End result: more sustained energy, and less junk food cravings. Don't forget that our brain gets fed from this complex carb food too! Oatmeal is also a great carbohydrate for diabetics. \n\nNutrient Density: The nutrients in fortified oatmeal include all the B vitamins including the heart healthy Folate which lowers homocysteine levels (another heart disease risk factor), and it also includes iron, calcium, Vitamin A, protein and more. All this plus fiber, virtually no fat, low sodium and no cholesterol. At about 140 calories per cup, I consider this an all around good deal. Eat oat bran oatmeal and we've got even more fiber.\n\nOatmeal the magical healthy food can also be a versatile food (yes, I said versatile). We can add lots of different toppings such as fruit, dried fruit, applesauce, yogurt, maple syrup and we can even top it with other cereals such as low fat granola. How about we make our own low fat granola using oats! Toast uncooked oats in an oven, add some bran cereal, chopped nuts, dried fruits and voila, we've made our own. We can even make our own muesli cereal, oatmeal pancakes (look for this recipe on my site soon), and then there are muffin and cookie recipes available everywhere. Want to try a favorite oatmeal breakfast of mine? Check out again my recipe tip page on Monday by clicking on my link below.\n\n\nSo, if we want to eat a food that can help us to start our day with long lasting energy; warm us as the weather gets cold; help us to control our weight; help us to lower our heart disease risk, and give us lots of other nutrients, try Oatmeal. It really is a "Magical Food" for man and animal alike.

Diet only makes about 2% difference never mind tea alone.  Taking those statins can make your joints feel 100 though.

Only plant foods like fruits, vegetables and other fruit--nuts, seeds and beans have fiber. Animal foods have no fiber. Also more people than ever take vitamin/mineral supplements but Americans are sicker than ever.\n\nThe real health benefits are in the thousands of phytochemicals (phyto means plant) in them like lycopene and the anti-oxidants in tea. Also 5,000 studies have shown that fruit and vegetables prevent cancer. But to see the real healing power of them uncooked, see the first testimonial on this webpage below. It is totally awesome. Great question!

Almonds are the healthiest nuts, they have good oils in them and amino acids you shouldn't eat more that 20 in a sitting though, too much of anything isn't good for you!

Papaya is the best for you. Kiwi has fiber so its really really good for you.\n\nMost fruits have sugar and sugar makes it harder for fat to get released in your body. It actually stores fat in your body so I wouldnt recommend indulging in just fruit as a diet.

The flavonoid quercetin, a plant-based phytonutrient found most abundantly in apples, is the most health-promoting antioxidant.\nIt reduces the risk of many chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes and asthma.\n\nORGANIC apples, simply have a higher concentration of nutrients and vitamins than regular apples. Sometimes as high as 80% more. So you get more bang for your buck, nutrient-wise, by eating a single organic apple. You will need to eat more regular apples for the same benefits.\n\nThere are other reasons to choose organic apples, including their better taste/flavour, and the avoidance of pesticides which are harmful to both you and the environment.\n\nFruits and veggies all have unique benefits, so VARIETY is important to make sure you get everything you need to be and stay healthy. When organic produce is not readily available or affordable, eat regularly farmed fruits and veggies.

Though this is true, it also matters what gender you are. It's safer for men to eat higher quantities of tuna because the real health threat is not Mad Hatter's Disease, but rather birth defects. Women of child bearring age (that is, women who plan on having children at some point) should seriously watch their consumption of fish, especially tuna. Mercury levels in fish has been on the rise . . . \n\nAlso, people should not buy shoes for their children that contain flashing lights in the heels. These lights are developed with mercury switches. When the shoes are discarded the end up at any normal dummping ground where decompose and the mercury gets released into the ground water.

Antioxidants combat or prevent oxidative stress in the body. One of the by products of your body using oxygen for fuel is that it produces oxidants, these are also known as free radicals, free radicals can also be "other" substances that are harmful to the body like environmental toxins etc. Antioxidants destroy these thing and help to keep your immune system functioning well. Antioxidants are found in plentiful supplies in most fresh fruits and vegetables. Some in red wine, teas and other herbs. They are a good thing to have plenty of. Some antioxidants prevent DNA damage and are instrumental in fighting such diseases as cancer and more.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

Oatmeal and fresh fruit.  Can't beat it.  Complex carbs for long term energy (oatmeal), and simple carbs (fruit) for short term energy spikes.  Plus it can help reduce your cholesterol
