The most important aspect of diet is balance. Fruit, salads and vegetables can be eaten in abundance whilst fish, meat, rice, pasta, dairy products, bread etc. should be eaten more sparingly. If this regime is maintained than the occasional treat will do no harm at all.
Cooking destroys vitamins and minerals, so eat as much raw food as possible. Vegetables are better steamed than boiled and grilling is preferred to frying. Where possible, avoid aluminium pots and pans.
Watch out for excess added salt and sugar. Use honey to sweeten things.
Chew food thoroughly and rest a while after eating. Do not eat between meals. Eat three meals a day, abut only if hungry. Do not over eat. Finish eating always feeling you could eat a little more.
Don’t smoke. Keep alcohol to a sensible level.
