THE PRINCIPLES OF A HEALTHY DIET
To assist in the provision of the best health I have listed the principles of a basic diet, some of which of course cross over with the ‘Ten Blanc Commandments’
1. Eat fresh unrefined food, organic if possible.
2. Enjoy a varied diet.
3. Take pure fruit juices, unsweetened.
4. Drink bottled or filtered water.
5. Avoid artificial flavorings, colorings and additives.
6. Avoid processed foods
7. Try not to consume too much preserved, tinned, smoked, heavily salted or pickled foods.
8. Avoid instant drinks such as fizzy cordials; they contain sugar, preservatives and artificial sweeteners.
9. Minimise sugar and sugary foods, e.g. sweets, cakes, biscuits and tinned fruit in syrup.
10. Take small, regular meals rich in protein, vegetables and fruits.
11. Cook in a healthy way – boiling, roasting, poaching, steaming and pan-frying in a minimum of fat.
12. Try to include Superfoods containing ‘vita-nutrients’ in your diet.
The most important ingredient of perfect health is happiness, however, and we should all enjoy our food.
