The Golden Rules of Nutrition Part 5

Hi there,

I know that some of you out there don't like rules, but take it more as advices on healthy eating habits, ok?

Here are the next five:

• Drink no more than 1 coffee or black tea per day; switch to herbal teas (camomile, peppermint, green tea, ginger tea, etc) and use fructose or honey if you must


• Try to eat only seasonal foods such as fruits and vegetables


• Try to eat always at the same time, your body needs to find an internal rhythm
• Sleep at least 8 hours per night


• Try to go to sleep always at the same time and to wake up always at the same time

• Avoid eating pasta and bread every day


• If you eat pasta or bread better to have it only at lunch


• Introduce alternatives: instead of cow’s dairies switch to soy dairies, use also oat or rice milk; instead of wheat pasta or wheat bread switch to rye, soy or oats, eat also quinoa, millet or brown rice; instead of mars bars switch to plain dark chocolate (no less than 75%) or good quality protein bars


• Eliminate or drastically reduce salt and sugar, use spices and herbs instead or fructose which is 200 times sweeter than sugar so you need less
