Watch your digestion:

1. Avoid Wheat – it aggravates your stomach
2. Avoid Dairy – it’s acidic
3. Eat slowly and chew your food – breakdown of food is essential
4. Alkalize your body – take lime juice in water and consume alkaline rich foods
5. Eat plenty of fibre – it helps digest and keep food moving along
6. Drink plenty of filtered water – it’s a great cleanser

Manage your sugars (insulin):

1. Eat low carb and low GI – to avoid sugar highs and lows
2. Eat good fats and oils – this slows the absorption of carbohydrates down
3. Eat full fat options now and then – low fat can be cancerous e.g. margarines
4. Lift weights regularly – it makes your muscles more insulin sensitive
5. Avoid fruit and juices  – they make you fat as they are packed full of sugars
6. Eat little and often – it helps you burn more fat by keeping your metabolism raised
7. Eat organic meat

Manage your stress (cortisol):

1. Always eat breakfast – preferably within 30 mins of rising
2. Don’t diet or miss meals  – it stresses the body and messes up your metabolism
3. Take time out to rest every day – to give your entire body a break
4. Avoid alcohol – it will make you fat and is full of sugars
5. Go to bed early and preferably before 11pm
6. Reduce stimulants  – they cause highs and lows e.g. coffee, sugar, alcohol
7. Avoid processed foods – if it’s in a packet BEWARE !
8. Train hard and smart

Get rid of toxins (oestrogens):

1. Avoid the microwave
2. Eat Organic when possible  – so you eliminate pesticides & hormones
3. Eat brightly coloured vegetables – contain more anti-oxidants, think rainbow !
4. Avoid fluoride – It reduces your metabolism
5. Don’t cook or heat food in plastics – it leaks into your food
6. Avoid Beer – unless you want man boobies !
7. Preferably use natural cosmetics – as toxins can be absorbed through the skin
8. Eat cruciferous vegetables – they are great at eliminating toxins e.g. kale, broccoli, cabbage

This is a pretty comprehensive list and I know it may seem daunting but pick a couple and just start slowly. Master that habit and then move on. You’ve only got one body, so look after it.
