"What does a warrior eat?". That may sound a bit silly in this time and age, but the question still applies. Nowadays when people think "warrior" they probably think of athletic icons, people they see on television, the gym rat who is always at the gym, and a whole slew of other images of "warrior" that bombard us each and every day. While it may be true that those people are at the peak of athletic excellence, they are often the most un-healthy people out there. Between all the chemicals they put into their bodies, and the nutritionally shallow foods most of them eat, they are really not the ones we should look to for a model of how a warrior eats.

A warrior only eats things that are natural, whole, and nutrient dense. Lots of fruits and vegetables, plenty of plant based fats and protein, moderate amounts of lean animal protein, and water. In short, a warrior only eats things that will help him to be more healthy, and not things that will passively kill him.

This page of my blog is dedicated to articles reviewing diet books, warrior worthy food ideas, and my ideas on diet.

Supplements

Ori recommends a ton of supplements, I'm not going to use everything he suggests, but here's what I already do.

1 Ts of flax seed oil in the morning:

studies show that people with a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 have improved mental health

Gingo Biloba:

I've been taking this as a trial for about 2 and a half weeks, so far i haven't noticed any changes, I doubt I'll be buying another bottle.

Green tea extract:

I just started this one this week, still nothing to report.

Vitamin A:

supposed to improve skin health, been taking it for a couple of weeks and it seems like my acne has cleared up, still too soon to tell.

those are all of the supplements I currently take. I am interested in starting up a multi vitatmin, and a multi mineral. probably from the standard process company.
