Hi,
The best option should be to avoid what is useless and detrimental but not completely to "save life in society". It's a often a question of frequency.
Mind excess PUFA from oil, except olive oil and cococut oil. Butter is OK. No imitation.
Begin your meal with some raw food (vegetables), to optimize digestion and probiotics.
Immunity is given by intestinal bacterial at 70-80 %.
Take sunshine for vitamin D but not in excess (30-60' is enough).
You need magnesium when / if you stress. Take it after, not before exams / hard work, e.g.
Later, some vitamin E, but not now.
Take exercise outside : walking is already exercising.
Enough for a beginning.

@LucH Thank you for the kind advice, I try to eat less PUFAs but I don't eat as many vegetables as I should. Regarding probiotics is yogurt ok?

Variety is thé Key to avoid prédominance of some phyla. Yaourt ok if one Month left to consume. But it IS weak. Greek yaourt IS fine (8-10 %) fat.
WE need thé kind from polyphenols too (fruit veggies).
Kéfir from milk is one option. Still need to vary / change every 2 or 3 weeks. -
@LucH I can do kefir, thank you sir

@peatboy2416 I would try to stay away from vegetables as much as you can, especially raw, extremely unhealthy and toxic.

Don't listen to anyone. I would recommend to read Rays website articles and then make up your own mind slowly, even he was wrong about things. Experiment, follow your instinct. Don't ever trust any authority that tells you what to do.

This article is oriented towards a warning for certain types of foods (plants and livestock) which are spoiled by toxins (protection of the species against predators, insects and molds).
I quote RP: “Animal proteins, and fruits, because they contain the lowest levels of toxins, should constitute the basis of the diet. Of course, not all fruits are perfectly safe: avocados, for example, contain so much unsaturated fat that they can be carcinogenic and hepatotoxic.”
It is obvious that there are contraindications, for example in nuts and berries…
Conclusion: All you have succeeded in doing is sowing confusion, by generalizing the warning against plants, under the pretext that pollution contaminates the fields where livestock graze.
A young person who reads this article, without any other context, risks rejecting everything in bulk and becoming anorexic. And if you eat few vegetables, because you live in a very polluted industrial region, like India or Japan, that's no reason to generalize...
You would have done better to warn against a specific type of food, a particular category – for example carrots or almonds – and explain how to circumvent / limit the disadvantages when eating the same type of food too often. Caution on frequency and quantity. It would be wise to vary or moderate ... -
@LucH no, it's mainly about plant toxins and anti-nutrients, which he calls "anti-vitamins", the articl is about that we can't digest raw vegetables, you obviously didn't read it and are spreading misinformation. Our digestive system can't break down raw vegetables to get to the nutrients, Peat has written and talked excessively about this, you would need a specialized system like a rumen of a cow to ferment them.
If you have this article in front of you and still don't understand it means either you're a troll, a liar, or completely brainwashed beyond saving.

@natureman
I've read the article. And I don't agree with you since I haven't the same analyze. Raw is not bad, nor cooked if ...
Sterile discussion. I stop here because you make supposition and are aggressive and disrespectful. Bye. -
@LucH humans can not draw sufficient nutrients from raw vegetables. Our digestive system is not equipped for it, not even talking about the metabolic damage from the natural plant toxins. A cow has 4 stomachs to achieve this. This is pretty basic science and well established. Read the article and the cited sources. Stop living your delusions and pulling others into it.
