Your Diet

General advice to improve your diet

1. At least one half of your food should be uncooked.
2. Eat as many fresh vegetables as possible, organic where possible
3. Limiting sugar is critical to optimal health
4. Avoid hypoglycemia (going too long without food)
5. and avoid processed foods such as those found in bottles, tins, jars, and packaged goods.

Be aware that manufacturers of processed foods do not always label every ingredient and source therefore, because they can contain many different foods grouped together, you may find it much easier to base your diet on simple whole foods.

The following points can dramatically improve your health and metabolism:

1. Drink at least ½ your weight in ounces of water daily. This should be filtered or bottled (preferably in glass) to limit the intake of chlorides and other additives in tap water.
2. Avoid alcohol as it can contribute to leaky gut syndrome. This may allow particles of food to pass straight through the intestinal membrane, which is one of the major factors linked to food intolerance.
3. Eat slowly, chew food well, and eat as much raw food as possible. Raw foods contain enzymes that begin assisting in digestion as soon as chewing begins. Don't eat on the run.
4. Try not to sit down to a late evening meal, especially a high fat or carbohydrate dish as you may find it hard to digest the food, which can affect your sleeping patterns.
