Foods to eat:
(A general overview)
By and large, a simple diet is the best: meat, fish, vegetables, unpasteurised foods and saturated fats.
As long as what you are eating are ingredients and don’t have ingredients in them (unless specially made for you), you are safe enough. For example, a sauce has ingredients in it (including sugar), but pickles, onions or beetroots are ingredients.
Make sure that everything is as organic and free-range as possible, due to the toxic effects of sprays and the stress on and toxins put into animals. Remember: what goes into them, goes into you.
Cook your food in a simple way: grilling, frying with a saturated fat of some kind, steaming, boiling or any other straightforward way you can think of. Above all, do not use the microwave!
Saturated fats include: duck fat, lamb fat, beef fat (known as tallow), pig fat (known as lard), unpasteurised butter and coconut oil. However, with coconut oil, some people can’t handle it, so be careful. With all these fats, you can use them a few times, before needing to renew them. They do not go off very easily, so you can keep them a long time (years even).
The best salt to use is Maldon Sea salt rather than any other type. This is the only one I have found that everyone can tolerate. A lot of people can’t handle the newly popular Himalayan pink, though they don’t realise it. Just because it is popular does not mean it is necessarily good for you. There is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to diet. And just because you can’t feel any immediate negative effects from something, doesn’t mean it isn’t bad for you.
If you really want some bread of some kind, go for the gluten-free ones. Although I would not normally promote them, they are an alternative. Otherwise, eat brown bread or seeded bread. However, if you can avoid it altogether, that would be best.
Make fruit a treat, rather than a staple. Nuts are alright as long as you eat them within a short period after having bought them as they can go rancid very quickly. Naturally, be careful about allergies.
And lastly, of course, make sure to drink plenty of water every day, a minimum of one and a half litres, as long as it is not tap water. Even with our wonderful modern day technology that provides clean water, it still contains chemicals that are bad for the body.
If you eat cheap food, you will have cheap health, but if you eat good food, you are more likely to have good health.
Good health to you.
