Diet Tips
Some sound advice on how to eat healthy.
1. Eat your organic seeds and nuts (heaped tablespoon) or 1 tablespoon of cold pressed olive oil / flax oil.
2. Eat 2-3 fresh organic fruits per day.
3. Eat 3-4 servings of organic grains per day: rice, millet, rye, oats or quinoa (as cereal).
4. Eat 5 servings of organic vegetables per day: watercress, broccoli, spinach, green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potato and peppers.
5. Water: 1.5 – 2 liters per day – reverse osmosis, filtered, bottled or distilled.
6. Eat at least 50% food raw and eat organic fruit and vegetables.
7. Take your supplements 5 days per week.
8. Avoid burnt, fried, browned food as well as excess animal fat.
9. No sugar, white flour, processed food, preservatives and chemical additives.
10. Limit intake of alcohol (2-3 times a week – one drink), one cup of coffee and tea per day.
11. Eat organic beans and legumes daily (tofu, soy, quinoa & seed vegetables).
12. Always have proteins with each meal: cheese, yoghurt, eggs, nuts, fish, chicken, red meat.
13. Eat at least breakfast, lunch and supper – snack if needed in between with fruit and almonds.
14. Best way to prepare food:
- Do a 2 minute sauté followed by adding water based sauce and let the food “steam-fries” at lower temperatures. Grilling, steaming, boiling or baking is better cooking methods than any form of frying. Don’t kill your food by cooking it to death – you destroy the live enzymes and nutrients.

- Medium-fat fish(3-10.9): pilchards, snoek, tuna, yellowtail
