Many people are convinced they have a healthy diet. Some go as far as thinking if they eat a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato and a slice of cucumber, they have had enough ‘greens’ for the meal, or even the day. Or choose a boxed granola instead or cornflakes, with low-fat milk and Splenda in their coffee
Well, let’s step away from misinformation and get down to the truth of a healthy diet, in 10 very simple steps:
Eat unprocessed food. This means food as it came out of the ground, preferably organic so you don’t ingest pesticides and incomplete fertilizers that can upset your digestive system
Check for food sensitivites - wheat, sugar or dairy products can cause ongoing problems. There are good alternative grains and flour such as spelt and stone-ground organic flour and xylitol or stevia. Dairy products are not an essential part of your diet. Calcium is found in green leafy vegetables
Drink 8 glasses of pure water a day – not bottled or bore-hole water and preferably distilled rather than filtered
Limit your intake of stimulants such as coffee, tea and alcohol. 1 each per day is more than enough
At all costs do not drink sodas or fizzy drinks
Never touch HFCS, or fructose as it is advertised
Do not eat margarine, no matter what the marketers tell you about ‘the truth of healthy fat’
Don’t eat supermarket vegetable oils – they have been damaged through the heating and bleaching processes and will cause inflammation
Eat good animal protein such as fish and free-range wild game, poultry and eggs
Supplement wisely
