Drink Your Food And Chew Your Drinks
Sounds
strange but the message is an important one. Digestion starts in the
mouth where the saliva is mixed with food and starts to break food
down into smaller chemicals that can be absorbed and nourish the
body. When food is swallowed whole it makes it more difficult for
the body to absorb all the important vitamins, minerals, amino acids
and starches. Chew food until it’s liquefied and swish your drinks
around your mouth so that the body can start digestion as soon as
food enters your body.
Moisturise Your Skin - From The
Inside
Fat phobia is responsible for many people having very
dry skin. Some people are foolish enough to think they can
moisturise their skin by lathering on lotions while they avoid all
fats in food. But the best way to have smooth silky skin is to eat
the essential oils that protect skin cells from drying out. These
oils can be found in salmon, almonds and sunflower seeds. Eat some
oily fish three times a week and have a handful of mixed nuts every
day. These foods in these quantities don’t promote weight gain but,
in fact, encourage health and vitality.
Take A
Break
Choose to have a break from toxins and let your body
have a rest once in a while. Once a month have a ‘clean eating’ day.
Have plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, brown rice and a little
fish. Drink lots of clean fresh water. Avoid foods that are
difficult to digest such as meat and dairy products. Avoid
caffeinated drinks including coffee, tea and colas.
Walk
Your Nutrients Around Your Body
Gentle exercise increases
circulation and the body’s delivery of nutrients to all the cells.
Walk at a rate that makes you slightly breathless but still able to
have a conversation. Do this three times a week for half an hour to
help promote nutrient delivery.
Supplementary
Benefits
It’s essential to eat a nutrient-rich diet in order
ot achieve the recommended dietary intakes. However, research shows
that many people’s diets are short of key vitamins and minerals. The
best way to ensure that your getting all the vital nutrients for
maximum energy and optimum health is to take a multivitamin and
mineral every day. Look for a good quality vitamin and
mineral.
