- Avoid microwaved food, non-stick cookware and aluminum cookware (used in most restaurants as well as homes).
- Drink 4 - 6 glasses of water everyday. Drink between meals, and finish your fluids 2 hours before bed.
- Check food labels for the word “hydrogenated” and eliminate all hydrogenated oils. Dressings, mayo, “butter spreads”, baked goods, cereals, pre-prepared, fried foods, and most restaurant foods usually have these.
- Buy and eat kienyeji eggs – the highest quality eggs you can find.
- Have a solid breakfast with plenty of protein and fat. Eat meals and snacks at regular times every day.
- Avoid pesticides in your food, your home and your yard.
- Remember that sodas, granola bars, muffins, desserts and potatoes are extremely high in starch and sugars (and therefore calories). Artificial sweeteners are no good either…
- Walk at least 3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes. Keep your heart rate to 55% – 75% of your maximum heart rate (determined by your age).
- Sleep 7 to 9 hours in a pitch dark bedroom; kids too. Use herbs such as lemongrass tea to help calm your brain and body.
- Alcohol is pure sugar and pure calories, makes you sleep badly, and keeps your blood sugar unstable.
