Dietary and Lifestyle Strategies for everyone!
There are many things you can start implementing today even before diving into mineral balancing that will help set your body on a healthier path. Today we are going to discuss some of those strategies! Some may seem common sense, but think about which of these you could do better with.
Eating 100% organic as much as possible
Home cooked meals as much as possible
Grass-fed animal products (very important for detox)
Large fish and seafood should be avoided due to heavy metal content
2-6 cups of cooked vegetables per day (wide variety)
Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, etc)
Bone and veggie broth to increase minerals
Organ meats and collagen powder to balance out amino acids in muscle meats
Clean mineral rich water (Spring water, Berkey filter or Pure effects filter) - this is the most common way we are exposed to toxins
A good filter removes the widest variety of contaminants without damaging the mineral structure (Brita, Santeria and Zero do not remove enough contaminants)
Drink plenty of water! (Gel water first thing in the morning and a rule of thumb I use is half your body weight in oz a day and if you are breast feeding add 60 more oz!)
Potassium is important to bring water into the cell as well, so I have a recipe for a Potassium Smoothie or Broth (ask me about it at your next visit and I will email it to you!)
