What is a healthy diet?? What are you eating, what did you eat for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. Keep a journal for a week or more include all your intake of drinks, food, snacks and treats. Lets have a look and see if you are eating everything you require for your body to function properly. These organs we have do the best they can, the inherent homeostatic mechanism will do its uttmost and your brain will get as much nutrient as you can give to it to function. The sugar rushes, caffeine spikes, alcohol binges all pay their toll on our fragile system. Eating foods that create a better balance to acids, sugars, toxins and lack of movement can help your tissues recover and you will feel better.
Foods our liver loves are rich in colour, Beetroot, sweet potatoe, carrots, greens, dandelion. Foods to help nutralize our acid diets are cucumber, vegetables, bitters and Low GI foods help reduce the sugar spikes. Green Tea helps tendons repair and is a good antioxidant also aids in preventing mental decline. Eggs and sprouts are foods that have excellent source of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals needed to help cell balance.
Good fats and Oils are really important for every cell in the body the brain and nerves need really good oils. Plants and fish are great natural ways to get oils such as nuts and uncooked grains, deep sea fish, flaxseeds etc.
Dont overheat any oil it will burn and turn into a bad one we use rice bran oil or butter for stirfries and then toss through out good virgin oils at a lower temperature.
Salt is needed preferably iodised we need iodine. Look how we have missed out on the sun over here in Australia and all deficient in Vitamin D.!!! Eat as well as you can and fuel this vehicle you have through life like a premium racing car.
