So for people who are vegetarian, there's an Ayurvedic dish called khichari, which I have a recipe for, which is basically rice and mung beans and some spices. And so that's a very healthy diet.

And then the foundation of the diet, of course, is fruits and vegetables. Yeah. We all should be eating more fruits and vegetables, but having plenty of those healing foods, the right blend of fruits and vegetables, adding in the prebiotic vegetables. You can add that up front to the foods that start to strengthen the microbiome. So adding in the prebiotic vegetables, incorporating fruits.

And I'm a really big fan of broccoli sprouts. So because of their sulforaphane, so that's a compound that over 2000 studies have been done looking at sulforaphane and it's clearly lowers inflammation and also supports the immune system. And it's very good for the brain as well. So I think incorporating broccoli sprouts throughout all phases of the diet is what I recommend.
