- Choose whole, unprocessed foods that are as close to nature as you can obtain.
- Ditch sodas, alcohol and caffeinated beverages and drink filtered water and herbal teas that support kidney and liver function. Don’t be afraid to infuse your water or tea with lemon, cucumber, basil, or other fruits and herbs to help make it fancy and more palatable!
- Eat a rainbow of fresh fruits, vegetables, and legumes (at least 6 servings) to help ward off free radical damage and reduce the risk of premature aging and/or disease.
- Include 1 serving of onion or garlic and 1 serving of broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, or Brussel sprouts daily.
- Use olive oil for dressings and coconut oil for cooking—these oils contain anti-inflammatory Omega 3s.
- Avoid sugar and high carbohydrate processed foods.
- Drink your fruits, vegetable and greens in a luscious smoothie!
- Balance your meals by including fruits/vegetables, grains, protein and fat in each meal.
- Using spices in your cooking, such as oregano, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, garlic and turmeric help slow the development of free-radicals.
- Plan your meals by pulling some recipes, shopping for ingredients, prepping as much as you are able to help with meal and snack preparation. This will help you stick to your plan when you are short on time or very hungry.
