It lists helpful benefits of maintaining a healthy diet along with evidence that sustains to why eating healthy lowers the risks of cancer, heart disease and obesity to name a few. The article discusses that eating a variety of fruit and vegetables provide better nutrients than eating a high amount of sugar, salt and fast food.

I would give this article 7/10. It gives multiple reasons on the benefits of eating healthy, but it could inquire more in-depth reasoning to each subject. The article is informative by giving some reasons to each subject that was being covered. It provided enough information to understand that the article is discussing the importance of healthy eating and which vegetables/fruits are most beneficial to the body.

Jillian Michaels. I recalled that she was a well-known trainer for the television series, Biggest Loser. Jillian Michaels is a renown fitness trainer that has been on several talk shows about weight loss and has spoken about the importance of eating healthy and exercising to maintain a healthy weight. I chose Jillian Michaels, due to that she knows what she is talking about, she has an extensive knowledge on wellness and health since she herself was once obese growing up. She is a personal trainer with certificates from The Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) and National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) with a Kettlebell Concepts certification. She has sold numerous best-selling books, stars in her own talk show, podcast, has been a co-host for The Doctors, and made several appearances on different talk shows as well. Jillian currently works as a personal trainer, as well as making workout videos.
I would consider Jillian as a reliable nutrition expert. She has dedicated her time to improve herself and others when it comes to weight loss journeys. She has a written books that revolve around eating healthy and improving your metabolism. She advocates for fitness, whether it is at home or at the gym.

Alfredo Bowman, also known as Dr. Sebi. I chose Dr. Sebi since he made headlines after the death of Nipsey, the rapper. Dr. Sebi is an herbalist that believes in alkaline plant food to fuel the body by reducing and up to eliminating the acidic intake of certain foods. His method pertains to eliminating acidic food such as: fast food, meat, poultry and anything that affects the body negatively. Dr. Sebi believes that eating alkaline food is a way of life, not just a diet (1). Dr. Sebi is self-educated, he is a pathologist, herbalist, biochemist and naturalist (2). He is renowned for his methodology of natural veganism that involves intercellular cleansing by incorporating fruit and vegetables that are most alkaline.
I wouldn’t consider the articles as a reliable source. After in depth reading and comparing articles, the both websites advertise products by Dr. Sebi or other nutritionists. The websites do provide reasonable information on healthy eating and providing proper nutrients to the body. Although, Nipsey swears by Dr. Sebi’s ideology, Dr. Sebi’s only form of knowledge is from self-awareness and deep studying of each subject.
