Getting Started
During the next 28 days, we will guide you with tools and strategies that will help you get started on a healthier version of YOU. This program is intended for those that would like to change unhealthy eating habits, patterns and behaviours that can lead to chronic disease. The program will help you to make better decisions about lifestyle and food choices and will get you started on changing your body from the inside out.
Let’s get started. To follow the plan do the following:
- Download the PDFs in the “important links” box below.
- Read through the 5-in-5-out program. The exchange strategies will start cleaning up your eating habits so that when you transition to the EAT TO LIVE program, you have already cleaned up your act.
- The 5 Track Plan is a condensed version of daily strategies for health. Now you are all set with the information you need to start, go to the last page for links.
Day 1 to 15
- Flushing Toxins: Start your day off with a cup of lemon tea. This will help to flush out toxins and balance your pH levels. For the recipe see: Nutrition for Life: Food For Life: Herbal Teas: Hydrating lemon and ginger tea.
- Probiotic: Take a good probiotic an hour before and after all meals. This will ensure a healthy gut. At least 1 tablespoon full each time. For the recipe see: Nutrition for Life: Food For Life: Probiotics: Sauerkraut.
- Daily Health Strategies: Take a few minutes out of your day to clear your mind, do some breathing exercises, some light exercises and some Earthing. All of this should take you no more than 45 minutes. For instructions on these daily practices see: Therapies: Medita on, Breathing & Visualisation Exercises, Rebounding / Walking and Earthing.
- Morning ablutions: Do a quick but comprehensive round of Dry Brushing to stimulate lymph flow and to exfoliate the skin, prior to / whilst taking your morning shower or bath. For instructions on how to Dry Brush see: Therapies.
- Meal Times: Make wise food choices for your breakfast, lunch and dinner today. Make sure that you have taken your probiotic an hour before and after meals.
