Basic Nutrition
The following basic nutrition tips work for all of us:
- Never, ever skip a meal!
Consume small, frequent meals (five to six per day—the first within one
hour of arising), each meal with adequate protein (to be determined in
your evaluation), non-starchy vegetables, healthy fats (olives, olive
oil, nuts, eggs, deep coldwater fish, avocadoes), and appropriate
complex carbohydrates (whole grains, legumes, starchy vegetables such
as corn and potatoes).
- Aim
for a variety of foods, including as much fresh and organic food as
possible, minimizing or avoiding processed foods and refined sugars,
alcohol, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors and sweeteners, tobacco,
and caffeine. (See our guide to eating organic for more information.)
- Think
color! Eating foods from each of the five major food groups (white,
yellow-orange, red, green, blue-purple) every day is the best way to
obtain critical vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.
- Drink plenty of pure water
or drinks that are mostly water such as caffeine-free herbal teas,
low-sodium sparkling waters, or very diluted fruit juice. Generally,
six to eight glasses per day is sufficient, but surely until your urine
remains clear.
