in your diet. That includes the “fake sugars”. The blue, pink, or yellow packets are chemicals doing harm to your body. Replace them with Stevia, Monk fruit, or small amounts of raw honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar. Still gives you a sugar high, but gives your body some needed nutrients.
6. Eat the rainbow. Each color of a plant food contains important nutrients for life. Buy local if possible. The faster from the farm to the table, the more nutrients in the food to fuel your body. Buy vegetables and fruits that are in season which ensures best prices and maximum nutrition.
7. Drink lots of water, with a little lemon juice in it. Avoid water sold in plastic bottles, filter your drinking water with a filter under your sink to take out pollutants. Carry it with you in stainless steel water bottles.
8. If you do eat meat, make it clean meat. Make sure it's pastured, 100% grass fed, no antibiotics, or hormones. If Vegan or vegetarian, make sure to include plant-based protein. Soy must be organic.
9. Never use conventional salt. Use sea salt, Celtic salt, Kosher salt, Himalayan salt. They provide well needed minerals.
10. Cook with organic garlic, onion, and fresh herbs. They add complexity and are nutrient powerhouses.
11. Stop using toxic tools in your kitchen. No cooking on coated cookware; no using cheap black spatulas or spoons, eliminate plastic wraps and aluminum foil. Cook on enamel or stainless steel, use stainless steel metal utensils, use unbleached parchment paper. Store food in glass containers to avoid toxins.
12. Stay active. Walk or move 30 minutes every day.
13. Spend at least 30 minutes outside enjoying nature. Grounding is an important concept for health. Get your hands in the dirt. Grow herbs and flowers in your yard or in pots. Walk in your neighborhood and appreciate all the beauty around you outside. Get some natural sunlight.
14. Get at least 7 hours of continuous sleep. A new study out from a team at Berkeley concludes that 7 hours is imperative to health. Your brain sweeps the plaque out that causes dementia in the 7th hour.
15. Control your stress. Chronic Stress is toxic. Use the Dr. Andrew Weil 4-7-8 breathing exercise 3 rounds, 2 times a day. Do it with him on You Tube. It will reset your parasympathetic nervous system and reduce your stress.
16. Control your ANTs (Anxious Negative Thoughts). Replace them with thoughts of gratitude. Nourish your inner champion to drown out your inner critic.
17. Work to make your relationships healthy and supportive. Toxic relationships negatively impact your health.
