Basic Food Plan

Basic Food & Recovery Plan

Below is our Recovery Food Plan for any health issue (and pro anti-aging), as well as to maintain ‘perfect Health’ (pH). Eating a mainly alkaline diet (high pH) is the other critical thing to do. See the food shopping ideas below).

During recovery phase, stop eating all starchy carbohydrates (breads, pastry, cookies, breakfast cereals, rice, potatoes, and pasta), processed foods and milk products.

Once you have regained pH then cheating occasionally is normal.
You will notice how bad you felt in the past from just one meal of these.
As healthy alternatives to carbs, consider: Quinoa, Chia Seeds, Amaranth, Buckwheat, and Millet Seeds.
Cous Cous can be used except for those who are allergic to gluten proteins (celiacs etc)

Eat some of the following foods every 2 hours

	Eat 9-14 portions of fresh or frozen veggies daily (in soups, juiced, stir-fried, steamed, etc.) 50% raw juiced (use the pulp in soups) (Organic if possible). Blended makes for better digestion.
	Eat 5 portions dark skinned fruits, (blueberries, cherries, red grapes (especially the minimum of 2 avocados daily, etc.).
	Avocados are the all time super food with nearly a full spectrum of nutrients. If they are available where you live then make sure you have at least 2 per day for good health recovery. Lungs, cancer and heart disease are all helped with these.
	Eat 5 portions of beans, nuts and seeds (soaked and mashed for the nuts and seeds)
	If you eat fish then eat at least 3-4 portions per week of oily fish and vary it by choosing fish such as Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel, etc. Even canned fish is very nutritious. The wild caught fish is best.
	If you want to eat meat, then the most important is pasture-fed meats or chicken (only a small amount weekly and grass fed is healthier than grain or corn fed).
	Hemp, Omega 3 or Krill Oil and other healthy oils such as olive oil, etc.
	Drink 8 glasses of distilled or filtered water per day with a pinch of bicarbonate of soda.
	Take 3-5 (depending upon your body mass and the heat) x 1/2 teaspoons of Sea or Rock salt daily in food or a little water. If the salt does not contain the critical mineral iodine then add Nascent Iodine to your day.

Exercise every day: gentle rebounding for 30mins or fast walking for 3 miles and low weight training (all to the music of your youth).

If you have circulation problems or simply cannot exercise, then then you can start with lying on your back on your couch and cycling your legs in the air as this will improve circulation to your organs, legs and take the pressure of your heart and lungs when exercising.
Get someone to hold your feet to help you until strong enough to go solo.
Do not miss this out as your health depended upon oxygen and blood circulation.
