What I Eat in a Day

Here are my simple rules I follow pretty much everyday:

1. I start my day with a cup of hot water. A cup of hot water wakes me up and helps to clean my system.

2. After a cup of hot water, I usually wait for 10 minutes or more before I put something into my stomach. This 10 minute wait time helps the hot water to clean my system. While I’m waiting I usually do yoga or prepare meals for my family.

3. After 10 minutes or so, I eat fresh fruit to get some active enzymes to aid my digestive system. Seasonal, local, and recently harvested is the best way to go. My favorite fruits are any kind of berry: blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

4. After fruit, I wait for another 10 minutes or more, before I put some protein in my stomach. The 10 minute wait time helps my body to absorb the enzymes from the fruit.

5. I try to have some kind of protein with every meal. I eat three meals a day. One of my favorite snacks is raw almonds.

6. If I am invited to a party in the evening and know there may not be healthy food choices, I eat a lot more veggies for lunch so that I can enjoy the party without feeling guilty eating “not healthy” foods or not eating well. We should have fun and enjoy our lives without worrying too much about what we eat, right?

7. I usually end the day the same way I started, with a cup of hot water. Imagine that you do the dishes at the end of the day. This is the same concept. It is so beneficial to have a cup of hot water before bed to clean your system while you are sleeping. (Please see my other blog post to read about the benefits of hot water)
