Dr. Joel Fuhrman teaches the audience at the Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2007 how to cook, the Eat To Live way, making high nutrient eating taste great, with green smoothies, sorbets, high cruciferous soups and other super foods that super-charge your health. He dispels the myth that this type of lifestyle requires you to spend hours every night in the kitchen, and warns that switching to this diet isn’t always easy - removing salt from the diet means that food might taste ‘flat’ for a while, and that there may also be physical effects when you start cutting out all the unhealthy foods.
