1. Watch what you eat and how you eat it • Start your day with the juice of half a lemon in warm water. This tonifies the liver, and gets the blood flowing so there’s no stagnation.


• Lay off sugar, glucose, corn syrup and all artificial sweeteners. These have crept into the modern diet in recent times and our bodies aren’t evolved to deal with anything other than small amounts of these.


• Eat slowly, avoid distraction and be fully present. Chew well. Your mouth is your first stomach, and saliva is your first digestive enzyme. Don’t underestimate the power of this one little habit. On its own it can transform a person’s life. No joke.


• Eat dinner earlier – avoid eating after sundown or less than four hours before bed.


• Eat less. Eat fresh. Eat more green. • Reduce – Excessive consumption of dairy – Refined foods – Artificial foods – Food additives, colours and flavours – Preservatives – Frozen and refrigerated foods (including iced smoothies, icy beer or water)


– Sweet treats and soft drinks – Fried foods
