Tips To Ensure Nutrients Are Absorbed Sufficiently:
-
Address your digestive health if it is at all compromised; see a Nutritional Therapist who specialises in digestive health if necessary.
-
Chew your food thoroughly in a relaxed manner, because digestion begins in the mouth and eating when stressed actually reduces digestive capacity.
Food To Avoid
-
Processed foods require more nutrients to digest and detoxify than they supply, thereby bankrupting your nutritional stores.
-
Avoid using polyunsaturated oils for cooking. Use only butter, coconut oil or olive oil.
Foods To Include To Support Immunity and Detoxification:
-
Eat 2-3 portions of cooked vegetables and 3-4 portions of raw vegetables everyday. Cooked vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli support liver detoxification and raw vegetables supply enzymes to assist digestion.
-
Favour berry fruits for their antioxidants that help calm inflammation and support the detoxification processes.
-
Choose organic fruits and vegetables wherever possible because they are higher in antioxidant nutrients.
