Food tips

Buy Seasonal Food : If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!

Try Eating Raw Food : Your body needs time to adjust and clean itself. Start including more fresh fruit, green salad, and green juice in your meals. Cut back on meat, dairy products, and cooked starchy foods. Try eating all raw one day per week, then two days. Or eat only two cooked foods per meal, then only one. You'll feel the difference.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is linked to the glycaemic index, a list showing foods and a score representing the ease with which the glucose in the food type gets converted to sugar in your system. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to injest less food without feeling hungry.
It's also extremely efficient for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in minimizing surges in blood glucose levels.
