I'm not good at eating vegetables, though I get a healthy serving of broccoli every day, as part of my frozen dinner. I have two packs of vitamin-fortified oatmeal every day. I have half a tablespoon of wheat germ oil every day, because it is a good source of Vitamin E, which I was lacking. I have my diet on a Microsoft Excel file, keeping track of 21 vitamins and minerals, and several other things, and I seem to be doing okay. I get quite a bit of skim milk each day.

"Not much..." 
A lot of it is depleted by modern-day food-processing and food-storage methods. The closer your daily diet gets to fresh raw vegatables, the better...
The reason this is true is that they contain the most nutritional value in their raw state - cooking them can sometimes reduce their nutritional value - especially boiling them in water...
Remember the phrase "living food" - this is where the nutritional value lies - this is where the vitamins and nutrients are found.
This is good! Vegatables are actually what we need the most [of] - then fruit - then everything else - including meat, believe-it-or-not...
Try your best to get your vitamins [and etc.] from "living food" sources...
This will help you the most.

I realize that some vegatables "just have to be cooked" - I don't like eating them in their raw state - because they are "too hard" or [whatever] - for those, I am willing to loose some of the nutritional value (if necessary) just to be able to eat them. After all, if I do not eat them - I loose all of the nutritional value...

What ever you do, do not consult a regular doctor they know nothing about preventive health or nutrition, the best thing you can do is eat raw veggies, drink raw milk, eat lean meat such as chicken and fish, drink at least a gallon of water a day, take at least 8,000 mg of vitamin c and flax oil (dynamically mind you) find a nice clean whey protein isolate that is NON denatured and most importantly:
Workout and train like a beast every day!!!!!!

You are elderly at 59? I am 87. That makes me ?????
I have been reading that people used to preserve food by fermenting, so making food much more nutritious. I am careful to eat as many as I can buy like real yogurt with live cultures in it. I found a woman who sells kefir (fermented milk like yogurt) from milk that hasn’t been processed. It makes the most delicious cream soups.
I have absolutely failed in fermenting foods! My husband made the most delicious sauerkraut that is fermented cabbage, but when it was done he canned it. When he brought the temperature up it killed the bacteria that is so beneficial to us. I made sauerkraut and didn’t process it. It spoiled.
I would love to hear from anyone who has tried to increase the nutrition of their foods by fermentation.

Keeping the blood sugar at a somewhat regular level helps (at least in theory)
- Eat many, small meals and avoid plain sugar. For carbohydrates get stuff with grain in it, rather than white bread.
Fruit combined with bread (dark bread that is) gives you both the quick energy that goes away fast and the slower, more long- lasting kind.
Getting enough fluid (water or juice without added sugar) helps too

It's minerals that the soil is lacking from over use, so the vegetables never have these depleted minerals in them either. The OT gives direction on how this can be prevented, but no farmers allow their ground to "rest".
There are so many opinions on these matters, & it's fantastic that so many care to look into these things
Carbs from grains arn't good for anyone. It has been said by a scientist that there is no wheat on earth that resembles the wheat that God created.
Yes we should all be eating some clean raw food daily, & soup, hot or cold.
Roasted, broiled & sauteed food is also good for you. I agree boiling eliminates nutritional value.

"Nourishing Traditions" is by far, the best cookbook I've ever seen, & I used to collect cookbooks. It has so much history about each food, types of preparation, receipes, etc. It has a lot of info on fermentation too. It only costs $27 on line. There are subsequent additional volumes of the original. I am referring to the simple title, "Nourishing Traditions" alone.
