SUE WHITE

We have arrived at the end of our Spring detox! I hope you found a benefit from the dietary changes if you followed them.  Although the detox was mild compared to some, the changes can make a significant improvement to health so, if you have felt a benefit, try to maintain some of the changes. 
You could also experiment by re-introducing foods back into the diet one at a time and observing what effect particular foods may have on your health.
Make a mental note to do it all over again next Spring!

This week, focus on the protein in your diet.  Cut out all red meat and instead have chicken, turkey and fish (organic if possible).  Increase your intake of vegetable proteins with pulses nuts and seeds.  Meat proteins can help promote an acidic internal environment.  Your body is constantly working to keep pH levels within certain parameters, so making your food intake less acidic can support this process.  Signs of excess acidity can manifest in symptoms such as headaches, reduced resistance to infection and arthritic conditions.  Most vegetables help to create a more alkaline environment.
Another tip this week - if you use table salt swap it for sea salt or rock salt.  This way you will be eating a more natural product.
