Fruit and Vegetables are a Great Way to Start the DAY.
Do you chew food 30 times before swallowing? Food needs to
be mixed thoroughly with alkaline salivary juices in the mouth before reaching
the stomach, where acid gastric juices begin their work. The food-combining
theory of separating starches and proteins has not been proved scientifically,
but it is a fact that older people especially benefit from this practice. Raw
fruit should be eaten separately because it will ferment and cause bloating if
eaten with cooked food. The best time to eat fruit is mid-morning,
mid-afternoon and as a snack.

- 250 ml (1/2 packet) soya milk.
- 1 banana or some strawberries.
- 1 table spoon honey

- 1 table spoon sesame seeds
- 1 table spoon sunflower seeds.
Use a blender to make the super shake above for breakfast or
for a snack later in the day. Soya milk is readily available either dried in
powder form or as a liquid in cartons. It is an excellent source of isoflavones
for women, with the added benefit of improving bone density.
