- MiGGYBYTE'S Guide to a Healthy Body
- -----------------------------------
-
- By Torus
-
- Read the following document and I Promise you will find some information,
- that you never knew, that will make you live longer.
-
- Many of us don't bother to eat a good diet. Most people are confused by
- the complicated, and often conflicting ,dietary advice currently
- available. Consequently many of us do not bother, which is why Britain
- has one of the highest death rates from heart disease in the world. Here
- is the slobs guide to healthy eating;
-
- The first and most important thing to remember is that eating should
- be a pleasure - do not eat purely for health, you won't live much longer,
- but it will feel like an eternity. A little bit of what you fancy will
- never hurt anyone; moderation is the key.
-
- Cut down on highly calorific and dangerous fats, particularly animal
- based, or saturated ones such as butter and dairy products. Cook with
- vegetable oils which are polyunsaturated and, even better, use
- mono-unsaturated ones such as olive and rapeseed oil. Cut down on added
- sugar, and increase the amount of starchy foods such as pasta, rice,
- potatoes, and bread. Aim to derive most of your daily calorific intake
- from these foods.
-
- Fibre is essential for healthy bowel function and may protect
- against bowel cancer, the third most common cancer killer in this
- country, as well as helping to prevent constipation, piles and varicose
- veins. The recommended daily minimum is 18g per day. A portion of fruit
- or vegetable contains around 2g, a baked potato 5g, and a bowl of bran
- 10g.
-
- Eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg with their skins on if possible.
- They contain high levels of essential vitamins and minerals, in
- particular the anti-oxidants, vitamins C and E and beta-carotene. They
- help protect the delicate tissues of the body against the ravages of
- chemicals called free radicals produced by, among others, sunlight,
- pollution, and cigarette smoke. Studies have shown that they have a
- protective effect against heart disease, as well as possibly reducing the
- chances of getting some forms of cancer.
-
- The beauty of these guidelines is that they work well together, a
- diet in high fibre and starchy carbohydrate tends to be low in fat. Last
- but not least, the word diet is derived from the greek diata meaning way
- of life. A healthy diet should be a lifelong approach to eating, not a
- short-lived fad to lose a few pounds.

- 3-Day Eating Plan
- -----------------
-
- .....To Help Energise you.
-
- Feel great by following this plan, but first you must gradually cut down
- on your caffeine and alcohol intake for at least three days beforehand.
-
- And for the best results, you should continue with these healthy habits
- after the three days.
-
-
- Follow these principles throughout to feel Great !!!
-
- - Have half a squeezed lemon in at least half a pint of mineral water
- (from a glass bottle - avoid plastic) every morning upon rising. The
- lemon juice, although acidic, becomes alkaline in the system and helps to
- cleanse the kidneys.
-
- - Drink at least six glasses of mineral water each day between meals.
- Water is one of the most important and easiest ways to help yourself feel
- so much better ( we are 80% water)
-
- - Use organic foodstuffs as much as possible. Peel all fruit and
- potatoes if they are not organic.
-
- - Avoid all foodstuffs containing HYDROGENATED fats.
-
- - Eat raw salads at least five minutes before cooked food. Eat a salad
-
- - either green with roots, or with sprouted seeds - before your evening
- meal.
-
- - Vegetables, lightly steamed or baked, should ideally be consumed in a
- ratio of three "above ground" vegetables to one "below ground".
-
- - For snacks, have 2oz of pumpkin seeds and 2oz of sunflower seeds each
- day. Unbaked flapjack boosts energy levels. Fruit or vegetable crudites
- are also good snacks. Try to have a small glass of vegetable juice
- between meals.
-
- The three-day eating plan has been endorsed by Sally Gunnell, she says
- 'It's a bloody marvel.'
-
- For best effect....
- No Smoking
- No Alcohol
- No Drugs
- No Meat
- Early to bed
- Fresh Air
- Eat a good, balanced diet.
-
- Remember chemicals can leech from plastic containers, so use glass
- throughout.
-
- Toxins build up in your body over many years, both from airborne and food
- pollutants. You need to detoxify yourself first, by eating food that
- will remove heavy metals, such as lead, from your system. Vegetables
- such as cabbage, and fruits such as apples, provided they are grown
- without pesticides, will help this process.

- day.
-

- minutes after breakfast)
