How to Apply This
-
Be aware of what you eat.
Every time you take a bite, ask yourself, “Is this healthy for me?” If it’s not, don’t eat it. -
Pick healthy food.
Search for gut healing, anti-inflammatory, immune-supporting, hormone balancing, detoxifying food full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, proteins, and slow carbs. That means whole wood, plant-based with some grass-fed meat (if you eat meat), a lot of spices and herbs, and don't forget to drink filtered water. -
Make your plate colorful.
When foods of different colors are on your plate, it is a sign that you are consuming various vitamins and minerals. -
Let 75% of your plate be filled with non-starchy vegetables.
Pick tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, and so on.
