Dr. Pam Popper (Book: "Food Over Medicine"):
Make sure you're hydrated, lean, get rid of your body fat and eat a plant-based diet that's low in fats. The Okinawans eat a plant-based diet (low in fat, high in fiber), lots of vegetables and fruits. Drink water (64oz) everyday (more if you're exercising or if it's hot outside). You have to exercise. Humans are built for movement. Get rid of your body fat. Obesity is associated with every single disease on the planet. It increases your risk and increases the risk that there will be a bad outcome.

With animal foods (meat), you can have it up to 2 or 3 times a week if it's organic and wild caught. But more than that, in a dose dependent manner, and you're going to have bad things happen (heart disease, diabetes, cancer,etc.).
Dairy is in an animal food category all by itself because in almost any dose, it all contains estrogen and estrogen metabolites. Well, most breast cancers are estrogen receptor positive. So, who would want to eat estrogen, if they are trying to avoid breast cancer?

Drink 64 oz of filtered water every day. Make sure you're taking your blood pressure medicine properly. Work with your doctor to gradually lower it.

* - What are autoimmune disorders? (Source: webmd.com)
Immune system disorders cause abnormally low activity or over activity of the immune system. In cases of immune system over activity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Immune deficiency diseases decrease the body's ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infections.
