In my experience, the easiest road to health is when we can find balance….that delicate middle point that may move, depending on what is happening in your life.
There are times when it’s necessary to eliminate some foods in order to hasten the healing process. How easy or challenging this is for you might be influenced by how focussed you are on your “why”.
Sometime after a period of elimination you may find you never need or want to eat that food again, or you might go back to it in moderation.
If you’re healing any ailments associated with inflammation, there is no question that dairy will not be your friend, even if you don’t notice any reaction. If you have never cut it from your diet, I recommend you giving it a go for a period and notice how your body feels.
The thing to remember is that animal products do not contain any fibre so it’s important to ensure you eat them with a healthy dose of fibre rich foods which help them move through your digestive system before they can cause toxicity in your body.
And if you are going to eat bread, I encourage you to be picky with where you get it from. Sour dough is all the rage but they’re not all made equal. Choose organic to ensure your wheat hasn’t been doused with chemicals prior to harvest and ask your baker how they make their sour dough. This one pictured comes from the Wonky Loaf and I love it!!!! Their bread goes through 36 hour fermentation process which means the indigestible parts of wheat can be broken down. This makes it easier to digest and the nutrients more bioavailable to give your body more than just a dose of carbs.
I’m a platter queen from way back….in those early days it was coloured pickled onions, cubed cheese, cabana and jatz crackers!!! These days I love a plethora of healthy options balanced with some carefully chosen goodies to ensure everyone gets what they love!! 🙏 💚
Here you have market fresh veggies....plus snow peas that were literally picked 5 minutes before this photo! My caramelised onion and white bean dip, zucchini quinoa fritters, home cured olives, the crackers are clean with no numbers and the cheeses are well aged.......now that's what I call balance!!!! 😍
