hus spoke Hippocrates – the father of medicine – 2500 years ago.
We are constantly being reminded of the need to eat healthily. The message given is: eat more fruit and veggies, get your daily protein, replace processed grains with whole grains and moderate saturated fats & sugars.
There are some ‘prized’ foods that I like to work into my meals and snacks or to take as supplements:
-
*Coconut oil and/or fish oil
-
*Mixed raw nuts, mixed raw seeds
-
*Chia seeds – Salvia Hispanica
-
*Home grown bean sprouts
-
*Fruit smoothies
-
*Live yoghurt
-
*Chinese tonic herb blend
-
*70% dark chocolate – a treat!
-
*Green tea
-
*Freshly extracted veggie juice – carrot, celery etc
The principle is to think about how food can support your whole healthy being rather than simply satisfying your taste buds and cravings.
