Over the next few months, I will be sharing a series of blog posts, diving deep into the benefits of G-BOMBS. Do other plant based doctors share Dr Fuhrman’s confidence in the scientific research about these specific foods? Stay tuned to learn why incorporating these foods into your diet can be a game-changer for your health and longevity.
