Good food, see docs: Source of fiber, antioxidants; overall, not a vitamin powerhouse. Fruits and vegetables should be a major part of intake (5-11 svgs/day). Low in fat, high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants. To the extent that good diet may help prevent things like obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, gall bladder problems, cancers, then yeah, it'll keep the doc away. Get physicals.
