7 Basic Principles of Health
1. Fresh air: Clean air is vital to our good health. Remember that indoor plants are great providers of clean oxygen.
2. Sunshine: The sun provides us with vitamin D and is a great healer. Get out in the sunshine and use chemical free sunscreens.
3. Filtered water: Drink clean water, no juices, cordials, fizzy drinks or milk.
4. Exercise: Play outdoors in the garden, park, beach or bush. Grow herbs and vegetables in pots if you don’t have a garden.
5. Sleep: Get plenty of sleep, and have a good night time routine.
6. Avoid chemicals and drugs: The side effects cause stress on the body.
7. Tips for a healthy diet:
No junk food in the home.
Whole organic unprocessed foods – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, raw nuts (not peanuts), seeds, organic eggs, fish, and grass fed meat.
Organic is best – if not available then soak fruits and vegetables in 200ml of vinegar for half an hour.
Read labels – avoid all white bread, white rice, white pasta, biscuits and cakes.
Only buy wholemeal – low GI.
Eliminate sugar, colourings, flavourings, preservatives and sugar.
Good fats are important - coconut and its oil, olive oil, avocado, butter (not margarine). You may choose to supplement with fish oil and / or flaxseed oil.
Avoid all soy products.
Health is our most valuable possession – it is free, don’t take it for granted. Be mindful every day and lead by example.
Food is our best medicine.
