What's wrong with cereal for breakfast? According to Dr. Fuhrman (Eat to Live, p. 37), "Many whole-grain cereals are so processed that they...have lost most of their nutritional value." Here's another surprise: "..ingesting processed foods can subtract nutrients and actually create nutritional deficiencies, as the body utilizes nutrients to digest and assimilate food." He recommends whole-grain hot cereals which are less processed. Some recommended ones are Roman Meal, Steel cut oats, Wheatena, Ralson High Fiber, and Quaker Multigrain. Or you can just have berries or fruit salad or a smoothie. That's more appealing to me.
Should I use a therapeutic light? Yes. I never knew this is not just for depressed people. Plus how many of us really are a bit depressed and just don't want to admit it? It has many other benefits too, such as improving your sleep patterns and hormone levels. It's discussed on this site where Dr. Fuhrman is selling one. I'm not saying you should buy from him, though I did out of convenience since I trust his recommendation. But I'm just linking to it so you can see some of his reasons for why it's good for you. It's also discussed in his March 2006 newsletter, but you have to be a member to see it.

A lot of recipes I see have bananas, apples, pears in them and I can not eat them I am allergic to theses fruits. Do you have and breakfast recipes that do not include these. I would love to have a great healthy smoothly for once.
Thank you
HI Patricia, how about a smoothie made with strawberries & blueberries, with a couple of medjool dates to add some sweetening if you need it. That plus a few handfuls of spinach would make a healthy smoothie! I'd blend the date first with some water or use date syrup, esp. if the berries are frozen.
