"You can cover this list of foods over a period of time," Goulart says. "You don't have to try to incorporate all 25 into your diet at one time.

"I always try to encourage my clients to eat a wider variety of foods. We tend to fall into a habit of eating the same foods. I urge everyone to try new foods."

OK, makes sense to me, Frances. But what about... gulp!... sea veggies?!

"Sea veggies are so rich in nutrients that you only need a small amount," Goulart notes. "You don't have to track down the actual sea veggies.

"Instead, you can find little shakers of granulated sea veggies and use it as a substitute for pepper when dining."

Goulart says a good juicer makes healthy eating a breeze. You can start your day with a nice glass of fruit or veggie juice.

"It's a better eye-opener than coffee," she promises.
