Dr. Bonnie's sensible suggestions for healthy eating

EAT WELL

1. Drink plenty of liquids- Your body is mostly water and good hydration helps to flush out toxins naturally.2. Limit sugar and salt- Sugar. All types of sugar should be minimized. This includes brown sugars, unrefined sugars, refined sugars and processed foods containing added sugar. Maintaining regular blood glucose levels is beneficial for weight loss and weight management. Salt. High salt intake increases blood pressure, and increases excretion of necessary minerals. Surprisingly, most sodium enters the diet via packaged foods, and not through adding salt during cooking or at the dinner table. 3-5 grams of sodium daily is optimum. 3. Eat less bad fats and more good fats- 'Bad fats' are trans-fats. These are found mostly in deep fried foods and commercially baked goods. These fats raise your triglyceride levels which can lead to arterial sclerosis and heart disease. 'Good fats' are Omega-3's, which are oils commonly found in fish, nuts and olives. These oils naturally reduce inflammation in our bodies and can effectively reduce triglyceride levels as well. 4. Eat foods in season- Nature knows best. Summer brings plentiful fruits and vegetables, which have naturally cooling properties. Also, raw foods are juicy, light and easily digested for those active summer days. Winter foods like beans and legumes tend to be more dense, compact and loaded with carbohydrates and proteins that your body needs to help keep it warm.
