Thanks for the food list....I need to write them down so I can have them handy and as a reference to look back on.
Thanks amiga :))

I like nopales, it contains lots of fiber =)
Any food with a good source of fiber is especially healthy. I used to think fiber was only for colon/digestive health but i learned without a good digestive system our other systems don't function properly so fiber is good for the whole body.

You're welcome. :-)
Garlic and onion seem to top my personal list. I use it in a lot of my foods. I also like salmon more than meat. And beans seem to be part of at least one meal each day, lol.
