Bruno is a church family favorite. In his mid-70's, he is a world traveler who is greatly interested in health.  When Blook cholesterols were taken for CHIP, Bruno had his done.  Bruno's was 132.  He has eaten the same breakfast combination for over 30 years, gets plenty of exercise, and is temperate in his other meals and activities. Bruno's breakfast combo is written out below, and can be found in the Cancer Prevention book he wrote with his son, Eric.

Bruno's Breakfast:
Warning: WATER drinking is imperitive to this diet! 
If you don't drink enough water, Bruno's breakfast will (in his words) "turn to cement."
Drink TWO glasses half an hour before, and more two hours after eating.
Purchase RAW ingredients only.

Daily 'Essential' Breakfast Cereal
1-1/2 heaping Tablespoons of RAW sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon MILLET flour
2 TABLESPOONS ground flax
1 teaspoon Buckwheat flour
6 halves of walnuts or 6 almonds (alternate)
4 heaping Tbs Old Fashioned OATS
3 heaping Tbs Wheat Bran
1 Tbs honey
1-1/4 cups Hot water
Handful of raisins

Put all ingredients in a bowl.  Mix everything well, then add the hot water and honey, mixing a bit more. Let sit 15-30 minutes. Any kind of pure fruit juice can be added for flavor. If the water is too hot, some of the nutrients will be destroyed. Chewing 30 times for each mouthful will help begin the digestion of this food efficiently.

In addition to the cereal, eat three fruits, one of which is a BANANA, every day. The other fruits could be any of these combinations:
 
  • Banana Plus:
  • orange and apple
  • apple and grapes
  • apple and kiwi
  • cantalope and grapes
  • Honeydew and grapes
  • pears and orange
  • peach and strawberries
  • strawberries and grapes
  • apple and blackberries
  • apple and raspberries
Bruno's book also has salad ideas.  Mmmmm!
