There is a lot to be said for eating whole foods. This means eating fresh fruit and vegetables. Of course organic is ideal, and home grown is great because you know exactly what had happened to your food. We should eat mainly vegetables – ½ cooked and ½ raw. Followed by (not necessarily each meal in that order) beans/lentils/legumes and fruit. Then come eggs, fish, chicken, and meat and rarely should we eat oils and sugars.

So take a long hard look at what goes in your mouth! Any “crap” in has got to come out. Of course we all drink plenty of good quality water don’t we?! (I hope you are all nodding vigorously!)

Now sometimes we may be short on a particular nutrient- either due to stress, genetic malfunctions of our DNA (in born errors or metabolism), toxicity or allergy.
