Meals Suggestions

Here are some suggestions for meals that are enjoyable as well as nutritious.

Most are quick to prepare and require little skill in the kitchen.

you through to lunch without the need for snacks. Vary your breakfast options.

Wholemeal toast with a little jam or marmalade.

Sushi made with fish or vegetables.

Avocado and salad sandwich on wholemeal bread (no mayonnaise).

DINNER

The later you eat, the more alkaline and vegetable-based your meal should be.

Such foods are easier for the body to digest. Rather then adding oil or butter for flavor, experiment with rubs, marinades, spices and fresh herbs.

Steamed vegetables with grilled or baked fish.

Curried lentils with grilled vegetables.

Seafood kebabs with grilled vegetables.

Stir-fried vegetables such as been, sprouts, broccoli, courgettes, carrots, peppers

and mushrooms.

meal should sustain you through the day, but strategic snacking can keep your body satisfied in between meals.

Fresh fruits such as( pears, bananas, apples, grapes, papaya, berries,mango and

kiwis).

Ginger, leeks, peppers, rhubarb, sweet potato,squash, spinach, turnips

NUTS and SEEDS

Almonds, Brazil nuts chestnuts, sesame seeds

OILS

Glycemic Index of Foods

The Glycemic index (GI) rates each food according to how quickly it affects a rise in blood

glucose levels.

The modern diet is very high in foods that have a high glycaemic index rating.

Items such as potatoes, white rice, cereals, biscuits and sugary foods ,all have high( GI)ratings.

Acid and Alkaline Foods

To tackle this situation you need to eat foods that can clean up the system, fight against

oxidation and neutralize free radicals.

It also wise to ensure that - at times when stress levels are high - avoid eating foods that will

increase toxin levels in the body.

I believe that foods that are more difficult to digest create more toxic by-products as they

are broken down. Foods that are easy for the body to digest, we call "Alkaline Foods".

We believe that eating a diet high in alkaline foods , can help to reduce toxin levels in the body.

Alkaline foods also, put less stress on the digestive system because, they are by nature easy

to digest and so require less energy from the body.
