Optimum Diet

Most healthy diet?
I am a generally healthy white 41-year-old female with a pretty poor diet due to trying to keep my weight down. I do know that I suffer from anemia, but iron pills and vitamins don't seem to be the best way to raise my hemoglobin. I would rather do it by eating a healthy diet.
My boyfriend is a healthy white 56-year-old male who had bladder cancer a couple of years ago, but has since recovered. He does smoke, but is currently trying to quit. His diet is fairly good, but could be better.
Anyway, my question is this..............
We are both very interested in a healthy diet and we would like to make whatever changes are needed to bring about optimum health. What kind of diet do we consider? Where can I find additional information on the diet, like recipes, shopping lists, etc..?
You are making a wise choice to change your diet. I hope this helps. I am just a bit older than you, having turned 43 last week. I was crippled with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis from the age of 31, just after giving birth to my daughter. Three years ago, I discovered I had food allergies, and was forced to go on a really drastic diet, avoiding all wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, meat and poultry. At first it was hard, but I must say the pounds dropped off-lost 40 pounds in little over two months. I eat a primarily rice based, vegetarian diet. I juice fresh fruits and veggies twice a day in a juice extractor. I enjoy many ethnic recipes, and lots of steamed and raw veggies. I think you and your boyfriend should consider a mostly plant based diet-especially with his history of cancer. Plant based diets reduce the risk of cancer. If you go to peta.com, they will send you a free vegetarian started kit with lots of information. The best thing, first and foremost you can do for your health, is to eliminate processed foods which contain preservatives, dyes, chemicals, artificial colors and artificial flavors. The body does not know how to process these things, and stores them as fat. Doing that alone will cause the pounds to come off. Read labels-if you dont readily know what an ingredients is or where it comes from, dont eat it. I dont eat anything I cant identify or pronounce. Good luck!
